With all do respect, single or not, this whole debate thing is getting to be a bit much. It's like being in a room of a couple dozen Pomeranians all barking at the same time -- it's a bit frustrating. It makes a person want to do a little target practice with a bb gun.

Well, you are the one who's come in the room and added to the noise by yelling at all the "Pomeranians", if you don't like the noise, then stay out of the room.

Hahahahahaha

This is exactly what the problem is. Hahahahaha

It's funny how people can dish it out but can't take it.

Add to that.... Oooooo you don't want anyone who doesn't have your point of view in "the room."

Funny how you guys are trying to turn Scubaboard into Scubasingles.com.

Have fun.

LOL BTW you haven't heard me yell here. You will definately know when I yell. Hahahaha
 
I find this whole issue interesting. Not because I am single....it doesnt play into it...I m old ...there arent that many old female divers anyway....but if there are any young ladies into old pudgy guys....hey,,,I m your man!!

But seriously.............

But IMHO there does seem to be a double standard. What I mean by that is....there is a women's area...and that is fine. But in reality that is a specialty area like the singles area would be. And, ....there are 4 tek areas...not just one... but 4.

Then , there are 12 specialty areas by geographical location.

Last, it seems to me the threads I read by people most opposed to the singles area are not single.

I know one person against the area because they believe it would become a "meat" area, not a "meet" area. And, I read a number of threads that fear it would not be a wholesome place for kids. Personally I find "worrying about predators" to be reaching spice girl far (really really really far).

I have read the suggestion that those that want this should go to other sites, like dating sites and search for divers in the peoples area of interests. Those sites that I know of are not free. And, they are not cheap either. So I find that suggestion to be rather unfair. I feel that these sites probably have more predators and things to worry about as well.

What I havent read is why it couldnt be given a chance and if it got out of hand.....taken away? Has that been addressed and I missed it.??

Not trying to muddy the water, but as I understood it, the idea of the forums and threads were to provide a place where people could state their opinions. Think I just did so. And , thanks.

I think that there is one thing we can all agree on and its Safety. those that are single have to be matched by the operators of our tours to who'm they think is best for us or others. I think this is nothing more than russian roulette. I have had only good experiance's with them matching me up but I have heard Horror stories from other diver's.

My two peso's. I'm pretty new here on the SB and I probably shouldnt even be posting anything here.

That is absolutely not my point, if you have some CONSTRUCTIVE to say, then by all means you are welcome, but if you're just going to complain about all the discussion, then yes, stay the H-E-double hockey sticks out, especially considering some of your inappropriate earlier posts are probably one of the leading reasons SB is not getting a singles forum. As someone who's benefitted romantically through SB I would think you of all people could recognize how this could be a good thing.
