Hooking up. - Appalachian Trail

Especially on the A.T. where women have practically unlimited choice in partners, sexual selection is largely determined by genetics. Most women will choose a sex partner based on his genetic traits alone without consciously realizing it, and without regard for other “cute” traits such as an accent or ability to mimic chipmunk calls.

We all know a few lucky guys whose sperm all women seem to be after. Those guys will be sore at the end of the day and the next morning too, and not just in the knees, while the other 95% of male thru-hikers are applying moleskin to their hands.:x

Most of the unattached woman I met on the AT hooked up at some point. I’m serious, there was a lot of hooking up by women, there are so many men to women. (men, this is not said to encourage you to hit on women - it won’t work). A lot of romances don’t survive the trip home, though. Whose home state do you go to? Are you both going to go back to what you did before, and is the professional woman going to stick with her tatooed, unemployed trail beau? I was cautioning a trail friend once when thru-hiking, and told her “you know how hungry you get hiking, when even Little Debbies taste great? Be careful that man is not a Little Debbie.” On the otherhand, if it works, the shared experience is awesome. My husband and I hiked as newlyweds and it was incredible & wonderful.

Along the same lines, I don’t know if other people noticed this, but certain women liked to “filt” in the registers, using names like “Hot MaMa” or something similar. Certain males would read those names and try to do big miles to catch those women. Usually they weren’t what you expected. Some people started to put fake entries to entice this behavor and tell people about the totally hot hiker chick just 20 miles ahead, and watch the person do long days, and laugh at their entries.

It was amusing :slight_smile: I never did that though :slight_smile: I hiked with my GF at the time, now my wife…

My point is, women should be a little aware of their trail names and what reaction it will incure. If you don’t want a lot of attention, don’t use “silver panties” for a trail name :slight_smile:

I remember staying in a hikers hostel on the A.T in 2001 (won’t say where). There was one girl hiking SOBO and about 7 of us guys. I’m telling ya, I never knew testosterone was visible. The poor girl was being played by all (except me and my buddy). She certainly had a wide selection to choose from. She did handle it well, i must admit.

P.S I did give her my gloves, but only because she had none and I was getting off the trail at that hostel.
