You gotta be my husband, steam_cannon? You sound like my guy who had my size pack all loaded and ready for me back when he wasn't even DATING anyone... Those household skills and tools together with the mechanical abilities compatible to my own sure won me over! Not working on building a windmill are you?
His preparedness for me too - whoever I might turn out to be - was a big winner in my book! Mind I had my own ducks all lined up already, but the day he pulled out the pack and girl stuff he had cached away I knew I'd done right;)

hahahahahah! That is definitely a problem that I have found.
Try finding an attractive woman who wants to bugger out and is within the age of 18. There aren't. Hopefully I'll find a girl in Europe, but the few girls I do know who aren't quite hooked to the system aren't attractive at all! Not saying it's all about looks, it's just that without being physically attracted to them...welll....
Nicholai - what we see over time when we look at people we live with is not how they look right this moment. Rather we see how they TREAT us overall. We see how we feel about them, and how we feel when we are with them. I've discovered the person who thinks of me and shows it, respects me and lives it, cares for me and demonstrates it every day - is THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PERSON I HAVE EVER KNOWN.
You're young. Looks fade. We age and our youth + good looks rarely holds up over the long haul. Who is defining 'attractive' for you? Can you not CHOOSE to see that the best possible partner is the most attractive?
I'll let up on you - my husband and I are in our 40s and compared to our classmates and most of the kids we see out and about we're holding up REAL well with a hard-working, hat-wearing lifestyle;) By all means go for it ALL. I believe everyone can have what they want if they can define what they want, work for it and not settle. You'll find her.

The other night I had him sitting on the dining room floor with me drafting a new nappy pattern (he likes the "mathematical" side of projects like that).

Nice, sometimes I make bracelets and things. My wife crochets but I haven't learned that yet.
It's funny, in modern society it seems like practical knowledge is appreciated less then ever, hence the tendency for people to joke if I guy's into crafts. I think it's just that less and less people are taking part in crafts and doing things for themselves. Most people don't even know how to sew on a button, let alone make their own socks! It's a funny world, but I think it's good to know how to do things for yourself.

Smooth Nicholai, real smooth. I'm sure none of the girls in this thread will take offense...

No not building a windmill today. But thanks my wife also appreciates someone who knows how to make things and thinks about the future.

That's the best advice.
But to be fair Nicholai, not that this makes your statement valid but my wife is from Europe and she's cute...

At a Christmas Party
After a few drinks in Quebec....girls put nail polish on us.
I'm just saying that it would be awesome to find an attractive girl, not even peak oil aware, who understands things like overpopulation or is at least interested in Chomsky...I dunno...you know the type I'm talking about. It's hard to find them. All the girls I know are stock-bought and sold on consumerism, but again, I live in the suburbs so it doesn't aid in any perspective.
It'll just takes time...hopefully I'll meet a girl in Europe

So what you're saying is you can't date any of the girls who might make a good partner (as opposed to just casual relationship) because they are ugly, but the ones who are pretty enough to date are too shallow, right?
You probably will have better luck in Europe, though. _________________ "Every junkie's like a setting sun..." - Neil Young

Okay, evidentally I made a poor choice in words. Instead of attractive, I will say, "someone who I am physically attracted to". There!
You're a young guy Nicholai so it's ok.
And in the future just remember the reaction of the ladies here and that they know what their talking about. When you're sick and you need someone to change the cold towel on your head, check on you, get you to a hospital... That's when you need a good caring person and not perfection, though perfection may not be what you meant...
Also I'll give you an amusing piece of advice, something you can take with you the rest of your life. Check out in your library any of the series "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". There are people who might dis the authors credentials, but he's pretty good, the video's are concise and it could make you a little more polished and give you a better understanding of relationships. Understanding relationships isn't something that comes naturally to most people...

I don't know that traveling to Europe is what he needs to do, but he might try a few more permaculture clubs. Or better yet, everyday just show himself to be a reliable guy who can handle anything.
So Nicholai, maybe you should just change your attitude about awareness of these things, most normal people are not going to understand the value of permaculture or that energy can run out. But when the going gets tough, food prices headed though the roof and you already have a garden plot laid out or a plan in place, they'll see you know what you're talking about. So maybe you're worrying too much.

Hehehe, yeah you gotta watch out for girls. I'll say this, at least my wife cares about me too much to pull those sort of shenanigans... The other week my sister wanted to put a stuffed dog toy on my head and take a picture, but my wife quickly rushed in to protest, my wife cares about my image...
