I would have to agree that most posters here are indeed grumpy old men.. Even though I am not yet 40, I think my level of grumpiness is way beyond my years.
Good luck with your quest. I dont think you will find what youre looking for here though. Even the bike traveller meetings are complete 'Sausage fests'.

Dating site ?
As I mentioned before, I hope Laz 1 finds the "beautiful" woman he is seeking
And this has been mentioned a few times, this particular subject is travelers looking for travelers.....so technically meets that criteria. But and here is my reason for original post .........He is posting for ONE PERSON not a general shout out to fellow travelers ! And this ONE person he describes in detail the attributes he desires, one being "Attractive" (at least he did not specify big knockers.....)
I love this site because it is people reaching out to others whishing to share in the wonderful experiences of exploring different cultures and areas of the world.....
And that is the main focus and reason almost ALL the participants of this forem are here ! There are better ways to find an adventuresome "beautiful" mate.........
Now this is my opinion only of course (with a few others agreeing I might add) but if we had a plethora of adds like this is would be a wast of everybody's time and could end up like the disgusting "men seeking women" adds on Creiglist !
And I think almost everybody realizes no woman with half a brain is going to take off with a total stranger and go right away as he requested ! (Even though we all wish him well, myself included)

I also wish the OP well in his quest to find his ideal travel partner. I do, however, think he's wasting his time advertising on here and would be much better off getting out there and meeting real people.
Just the opinion of a qualified grumpy old man - ask my wife/ideal travel partner for the past 30 years.

Sigh. I'm deleting some off-topic posts because there has in the past been a definite tendency for these to veer wildly out of control into name-calling, score-settling, and other stuff which doesn't really serve us well.
Let's note that this thread is located in "Travellers Seeking Travellers," complete with proper British spelling. This is not the HUBB Pub, or your back yard, or your favorite watering hole. Please try to stay focused on the subject at hand.

When Laz1 says 'attractive' perhaps his understanding of the term is different to everyone elses. Does he really mean 'not a feckin walking beast of a woman'?
