Last night, many of us read the thread wherein Petronski announced his coming marriage to madame Cyborg. (Check DRUDGE: Unnamed Senior White House source: Cyborg and Petronski to be married...). During the course of the Cyborg-Petronski Thread, the subject of a Free Republic feature wherein single Freepers can meet their fellow conservatives.
I have a simple proposition. We could start a regular thread akin to the Freeper Canteen. Such a regular thread could serve as an opportunity for single Freepers to engage in Virtual Mingling. Also, any Freepers who have single, conservative offspring would be welcome to participate so as to arrange for introductions for their kids.
Special note to Jim: Just think of how many conservative would not have met fellow right-minded folks had it not been for FR! Cyborg and Petronski owe you one.
You gotta be good at saving the money to pass muster with my friend. A big houseboat or a house on the water might be a good substitute.
ROFLMAO!
Well, maybe our future matchmaking thread can help...
Okay, I start keeping a Ping List for this.
If you want to be added to the FR Introductions list, then send a FReepmail to me. I have a feeling that I may need help maintaining this thing...
Cyborg & Petro Dude...Good for them.
Bless Ya Kiddos!
"You gotta be good at saving the money to pass muster with my friend. A big houseboat or a house on the water might be a good substitute."
I'm really good at saving. I live right on the waterfront, under a bridge. Low overhead means it's easy to squirrel away three, four bucks a week for a rainy day. But she sounds like a gold digger so I want a pre-nup.
living under a bridge...very funny Blurblogger. very clever indeed.
Actually, she's not a gold digger, has some $ herself, is savy about money, and wants a man who is just as savy.
OMG, Blur. I think I tinked.
If Ann is in I am in. :-)
You sound desperate.
"You sound desperate."
Not in the least. This is just an idea that has been discussed several times. I just figured that it was time to stop discussing it and follow through. There are a lot of single conservatives here who are looking for like-minded folks. If FR can bring them together, then all the better.
IMO, threads dedicated to mutual bottom-sniffing ;-) are probably less effective means of picking up dates, than to hang out on a silly thread and flirt shamelessly. Most of the FReeper couples I've heard of have met that way.

I met Ann once after she gave a speech in Cincinnati a couple of years ago. She is very......uh.....impressive.
Pong. Thanks!
Well, I hope for it to be more than "mutual bottom sniffing." FR has several subgroups that have a overall theme but the topic of conversation doesn't always pertain to that theme. The Canteen, for example, has had discussions that do not necessarily relate to the armed forces, but people with a similar interest gather there. I am thinking of the same idea here. The overall theme is to get the "are you hitched" question sussed outright. Then, let the socialising begin. I have heard some FReepers lament that they have flirted with someone in a thread only to have that person say, "I'm married." The plan is to cut through such problems via the overarching theme. The discussions in the thread can be on any topic that the participants desire to cover.
Hey, you never know! It is entirely possible.
I know. The phrase just popped into my head, and I couldn't resist using it. ;-)
