  Everyone thinks they love hiking until they hike without trails.

    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.

        A more challenging route does lower the odds of encountering other people though which is a plus. Nice to have the solitude even if that means extra effort.

        Oh, it’s not about difficulty for me! If that was the impression I gave it was because I wasn’t awake yet.

        I just feel more relaxed when there’s no set path.

      Here. Take this shovel and come with me. Bring your Munsell book too.

        Are… Are you the shovel?

  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…

    • theneverfox@pawb.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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:

    1. go somewhere you don’t mind never going to again

    2)have an escape plan

    3. go somewhere public with lots of witnesses

  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.
