This is a question for all you single women in a shtf....

I've read enough of your posts to understand your humor.

Unfortunately there are animal rights people that inevitably will break into the zoos and release the animals. I fear it will be more than just coyotes and buzzards.

I had to come back in this thread to say this:

The day I need a man for anything is the day I die as a woman.

Enough said.

C'mon now Baked...don't paint yourself into a corner! In this world that may be true, but SHTF is a whole 'nother ballgame! All of a sudden men and women may BOTH be reminded of the way things have been for millenia:

Male/Female teamwork is the key to survival!

You hae a point, teamwork is the key to survival! But I won't go a far to say I will ever NEED a man, another human, perhaps. I won't concede the point completely just yet!

Hopefully they will release the monkeys. In fact, Im counting on it. I can give Ahab a few ciggs and a bottle of Jack in barter to manufacture tiny bows and arrows for them to do my hunting for me.

I have been there and already have my carry conceal.
I don't know how to reload ammo yet!I will add that to my
need to learn list.

I found this thread to be both amusing and frightening. Don't get me wrong, I like a woman that can shift into "warrior mode." What's frightening is the whole sudden "split" some of you ladies are portraying. It's like, if I - a man - were walking about in the wilderness looking for food, and happened to come across a gang of women sitting by a fire eating a moose or something, should I run away or speak up and ask for help. Well, being taken prisoner might result in death by snu snu at least.

As for this whole topic, reproduction should be the last thing on any sensible person's mind, but there's nothing wrong with embracing one another, especially when it's cold. Personally, given the choice, I'd rather hold onto a woman than a big fella named Steve.

As a lone 50 year old woman, I have no illusions as to what will happen if a SHTF situation.
I know that there are men who will attempt to do harm to me because I am a Woman and perceived as weak. The perception of weakness on their part would be a grevious error.
I know in a situation like that I would do things that I would never do if there was normalcy and I am prepared to do those things, without remorse or a second thought.
I had been homeless at one time in my life for nine months and was able to protect me and mine just fine. There were qualities that I developed during that time that would come in handy during a SHTF situation; qualities that I would never have to use in a normal situation.
In a SHTF situation (even in a non-SHTF situation) the type of man who is given to this type of behavior cannot be reasoned with, nor swayed with tears, it will only make him more excitable, because people like that thrive off of someone's else's fear.
Violence will be met with hyperviolence - when its my life in danger, I have nothing left to lose.
In a time of normalcy, I can be sweetness and light mixed with a liberal smattering off piss and vinegar.
In a SHTF situation I know that exists a well of abject darkness within that I keep neatly tucked away that I can reach into at any time - that part of me that is a scheming, plotting, unemotional, incompassionate and cruel woman (towards those who have it coming).
Instead of making my home on the ground it will be in the trees - no one ever looks UP.
If I am being chased I will never look back - in the time it takes one to look back, whatever is after you can catch up with you.
Emotion in a SHTF situation is a killer...thankfully, I can turn my feelings on and off like a faucet and when the jig is up I'll see long before that it is and act accordingly.
I'll be okeedokee

Thats funny I'm sure he would be glad to help if not let me know I will, Now that I think about it maybe a zoo would be a pretty safe place to lay up.

There are a lot of lessons that can be learned from Katrina.
I am sure that disaster was a training exercise for the troops.
I know it was an eyeopener for the general population.I just
wish more people had stayed awake,some went back to sleep.

Ok, we all know that the sH*# will hit the fan one day...it's inevitable. When the disgusting animals of Humanity are unleashed on this Earth, everyone will be fair game...Men, Women and Children, it will not matter, all will be raped, killed for supplies, hunted for food. There will be groups poeple that will band together to do these horrible things. Even a family of say 4.. a Man, Woman & 2 children will be prime targets. Poeple here talk of women banding together to form some amazon society....they wont last long. I'm sorry to say that but you have to understand human nature....just how ugly it can be. Even a group of tough women, say 10-20 will fall prey to endless amounts of Hungry, horny and just plain dont give a f*#k men that will hunt and prey on them just for sport if not survival. Imagine 10 tough women, heck even 30 trapped in a mens prison (and i say this because nobody can leave the earth at this point)...there are no guards, no bars...just chaos...now imagine this on a larger scale, again even the men and children will fall prey. My opinion, and my worst fear in this situation...I'm a Family man. I'm married, have a 7 year old Daughter and with one on the way. I cannot imagine our fate to turn out so well. And that's that I teach Ninjutsu and street survival concepts. I can hold my own and protect my family on the street in a mugging or home invasion but in a shtf scenario, we all would protect our family first. Now imagine you have a newborn...that would be heartbreaking. I'd say..women, travel in the sewers..stay out of sight and band with men...who you can trust is up to you. I wish everyone good luck from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for reading.

Loads of interesting replies in this thread! S&F.

I am a female who lives with a female roommate who is basically the sister I never had. She isn't on ATS but may as well be - she's just not much into the Internet. She loves talking conspiracy. Neither of us has ever been married or have children. We are in our very early 30s and still get carded for booze. We are both professionals who have no problem finding dates. In fact, we have both got dates this evening with quality dudes. Nothing serious. I'd love for both of us to meet our future husbands, but we are doing just fine as single ladies.

Given that ATS is not a dating service, I must note that there is a difference between cheeky and creepy. I came on this board to discuss matters I can discuss with few others, not to find dudes. However, if you are a single, attractive, intelligent man around my age with whom I found common ground... heh, just kidding.

We both have bug-out kits. Our house is quite well-stocked with food and water (credit to her efforts; I'm the spacey one) and on high-ground. I have acquired the supplies to shelter in place in a nuclear event. My deceased uncle was a survival specialist and in addition to building our well-stocked bunker, he instilled many values in our family to keep us safe in a SHTF scenario.

I would also have much in the way to trade which I won't specify beyond that it doesn't involve sleeping with anyone or anything illegal.

We never truly know when or if a SHTF scenario will happen. I'm pretty confident, however, that my own survival network will be able to hold our own in many different 'doomsday' scenarios, and even if for whatever reason we all were not in the same place, I'd be quite well-prepared even if alone.

Doesn't matter who you are if you're caught off guard your in trouble. If you're prepared you will put up a better fight. Isn't hard to take your life whether your a female or a male.

I pity the man who considers my wife 'easy prey'...

...half the reason I married her was I was too chicken-shyte to say no...




Somewhat kidding...but only somewhat...


As one of the above posters so aptly put it: Male, female, child, dog, cat, goldfish...everyone and everything is likely to be fair game in a situation where all social norms and rules go out the window.

If I get taken out in such a situation my wife is also well appraised with the weaponary within the house.
She can reach out and tag some fool from half a mile away (and more) with the SSR, or cut a group of them up with the AK, or closer in with mossberg, or real nice and personal with the Kukri...

...she'll do whatever she has to do...as we all will...

well im 5'9... green eyes... reddish brown hair... i like going to the beach, looking at the stars. i can cook and i clean.. im fertile and pretty pro at giving birth. so who wants me?!?!

hahaha j/p, but for real...

i think about this often!!! im a newly single mom of two little girls!!! its scary to think about anything happening. im good at school work and having babies, i have no survival skills. my ex was a marine, but he got kicked out dishonorably (which is why im currently single.. long story... =/ ) so i have no one.... i have a dad on the opposite . side of the country and a brother off at school far away =[

anyone wanna take care of me in a SHTF scenario? haha im nice and my kids are awesome. and we dont eat that much. you prolly wouldn't even know we were there! =]

Exactly, nothing wrong with embracing each other. After the SHTF no one will have to go to work, there will be no mindless tv, etc. In between looking for food and building huts we will have all the time in the world for lovemaking. And like you said, it keeps us warm

On a more serious note: this constant repetition in this thread about rape, it really builds on the notion that women don't want to have sex. I personally know quite a few who enjoy it, with the right person. Don't think that will change in post apocalyptic times.

I'll be the girl saving the guy's behinds. As long as they're not more trouble than they are worth.

@Pimpinette:


See, my problem would be that I would be afraid of becoming pregnant. With out having proper medical help, or even a midwife of some sort, I'd be scared of some major issues. There are cases today where the child or the mother or both would have died in earlier times.



(EDIT: I messed up my editing, but this was meant as a reply to Pimpinette! lol.)

If you and steve snuggle under your mylar blankie... youre chances of surviving the night increase. So do your chanced of a love connection. Dont be a prude... Steve has feelings and needs too, you know.

Heh, I think that he just meant that he would prefer not to sleep with Steve per say. Anyhow, I'm on your side here; sometimes that's what you have to do to survive in a given situation.
