I believe you want "... a goer, eh? Know whatahmean, know whatahmean, nudge nudge, know whatahmean, say no more?"
ROFLMAO!!!
One of their best skits ever!
"1) Weirdo lurkers."
Don't forget the trolls, man! :-)
As for a list of eligable folks, I have invited people to send a FReepmail to me so that they can be added to the, currently, nascent ping list for this developing idea. I think that two lists are in order. One list for single FReepers and another for people who know single conservatives (parents or friends of single conservatives who want to aid The Cause).
It would be nice if there was a way to restrict access to the "singles thread" to only registered members, as a source of protection. Don't think that will happen, but it would be nice.
Well, we'll just have to make the most of the current capabilities of the site. Soldier on!
The problem with this idea is that FR has clownish stalkers whose lives are so pathetic that they post threads on other sites ridiculing FReepers and gossiping about personal lives and engaging in all kinds of desperate, jealous and hateful antics that could really hurt vulnerable people who dare to be personal and open and/or just have fun flirting.

That is true. Also, that can occur in any of the various fora here.
The idea of the thread is that it would be something of a singles zone. Discussions could be on anything from "Who is the best Fry Cook on Venus?" to "How do you tweak the Carbs on a 1968 Camaro?" It would be singles themed. Here, as in the outside world, there are folks who will attempt to prey on others. C'est la vie. Divine justice repays those folks heartily. I have dealt with my share of such folks, but I soldier on.
Checkers, tell us what Nixon was really like.
He stood by his friends.
But what did you think of the speech that bore your name? ;-)
When the going got tough, he stood by his friend.
That he did.
I guess we would just have to be careful what we say in "public."
Somehow... I get the impression that all the women on FreeRepublic are married, in their 60's, live in Texas and have sons in the Marine Corps.
WANTED:
Attractive female Poodle whose master owns a dog food factory, for all-of-a-sudden perhaps lawn-marriage to handsome and brave ex-celebrity typing male canine of mysterious lineage and present location.
O.K., O.K...I made me sound nice on purpose.
Why should I spoil the surprise? Stranger things have happened...even to ME!
O.K., O.K...mostly to me. Boy, you guys don't miss a trick.
Mr. Williams doesn't let fry cooks date his daughters.
"How do you tweak the Carbs on a 1968 Camaro?"
Use lettuce wraps instead of bread.
Now, an observation: FR has plenty of married women, but the ratio of single men to single women here is about 15:1. Your idea is good, but it just won't work on this type of site. Look at personals sites like Match.com - the number of single women who self-identify as liberals dwarfs the number who self-identify as conservatives. Even the ones who claim to be "Middle of the Road" usually have language in their profiles suggesting that they think being a mainstream Democrat is a "Middle of the Road" position. ;)
"Use lettuce wraps instead of bread."
ROFLMAO! That is funny, I don't care who you are.
Screw 'em - unbuttered popcorn'd be like kissin' yer sister !
(well, i don't mean your sister specifically, but ... )
