I am 27 years old and have not seen any women around my age in this hobby. Why? I need one so I don't always have to justify where my money and time goes plus another tank would be nice.
Get a job in an LFS, you'll see more eye candy than just nice corals. You simply need to get out more....LOL
 
My wife was into it for about a month. Of course by "being into it" I mean she liked to go to the LFS and pick out fish. She wants no part of caring for it or cleaning.
I think it's way too involved for a lot people, especially females. I know there are a few here so that's cool though, I respect them for that.
My other hobby, building cars, is also a male dominant hobby (duh!) but there are a few women doing it and most of the time there stuff is better than most of the guys. I think they're trying to show that they can do it the same or better.
 
A careful well thought out plan

to smoke out the single ladies lol. I suppose somewhere on the needlepoint forum there is a post where are the single men lol. I can tell you having worked in a lfs like Wayne says they are out there though on the rare side. and every reefer wants to have a pretty girlfriend that doesn't mind the tank coming 1st now that is rarer. you know you are a reefing geek when you get a phone call asking if you want to go out. and you have to tell her you have to acclimate our new fish.

Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, thats because you put your store next to a Yoga and Tanning shop. Oh and I forgot Lady Janes! :)
:jester: A smart lfs picks a good location and ummm eye candy, don't forget the bar there. we were next too a dance studio and also had a bar. :victory: location location location. and of course summer is the best! :secret: most ladies that I have met in this hobby at least the lookers are already Tagged and Bagged :jester: better off looking for a lady that will tolerate your hobby! maybe learn to enjoy it. and put up with your lame excuses but, but I have to do a water change.
 
I'm a woman too...
also one of the eye candy that goes into Wayne's store! LOL

BUT... I'm married, with kids...aka future reefer nerds! hehe

My hubby and I are a lethal pocketbook team, I love corals, and he loves fish... so no matter what, 99.9% of the time, we walk out with one of the two!

You guys should consider hosting a singles reefing party! Maybe after the Lansing frag swap somewhere at a bar :)

The tanning salon went out of business, and we are heart broken. Before it changed ownership a couple of years ago, I swear, it seemed like every Hooters girl and stripper from miles around tanned there....it was heaven. Now the Yoga place has nicely filled the void I must admit. Amazing how certain clientele can make a soft coral become stony!!!-devil 2
