Wouldn’t say I love it, but I don’t mind hiking, trees and mountains are cool. I also live in a part of new england where it’s basically just trees mountains and hills so any sort of walking around turns into a hike

Yeah hiking is okay. But I like to exercise. People who like to exercise are in a huge minority.

Clearly you’ve not been on tinder any time in the last 10 years. If tinder profiles are correct, literally everyone looooves hiking

Everyone thinks they love hiking until they hike without trails.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Human trails or deer trails? Because my absolute favorite hiking experience was when a group of friends and I said ‘fuck it’ to the people trails and spent the day wandering the deer trails.
10/10, will do again

Hiking without a trail is better imo
Not many will agree on that however.

I just enjoy walking outside. I don’t need to make it a contest in difficulty.

In fairness, hiking is a great first date. Shared goal, nice scenery, and you can just talk about what you read about the length, difficulty, view of the hike if you’re flailing for smalltalk
Then you hike, and you can point out what you see or ask random philosophical questions with time to think in silence without it being weird
And then, you spend some time seeing a nice view, maybe have a small picnic, and by the time you get back you already know each other without the awkward “interview” stage of a first date
If tinder wasn’t a cesspool at this point, I’d probably have it in my profile

Get lured to a secluded area by a stranger…

Or alternatively, mutually agree to travel to a semi-public area where park rangers will start looking for you if your car isn’t moved by sundown
There’s a spectrum of hikes, the casual popular ones aren’t exactly secluded areas

Its a great first date for like a “friend of a friend” connection. Its a terrible first date for a dating app.
The rules for online first dates:
2)have an escape plan

Back in the day, I got so sick of seeing it that I just put: “I hate hiking, bonfires, and beaches.” It worked out pretty well.

Nice, met my now wife on bumble, hooked her with talk of my love of video games and Golden Age Sci-fi novels…or maybe despite of, she’s pretty tight lipped about it.
