Cowgirl Looking 4 Rich Rancher . . . needs help finding one

YOu'd be surprised at the chicks that really BELIEVE that crap!!

I know of one gal from CA....married a MT rancher.....then later ( after the divorce) told me that ' this isnt the lifestyle I wanted"...I asked what did you want? " well, it's not at all like what's in those novels I read"


No kidding...and YES she was blonde!
 
Maybe 'Bama was a bit blunt, but he's correct.

And the ideas of gettijng a job on a real working ranch, has a lot of merit.

If you want a cowboy oir a rancher, you got to go to where they are.

It's just a little bit too easy to thin you can post on an ag blog, and thnk you are going to find Prince Charming.

And if you are going to put limitations on who you are loking for, don't be surprized if they don't do the same thing to you.

Oh, and 'Bama does have a good sense of humor. :lol:

Hey 'Bama, if you don't want a woman to run her mouth while driving into town, just play the radio or CD player pretty loud and sing along. Works for me. :shock: :wink: :lol:

????Really, it that how it works ?????? :lol: :lol: :wink:
 
I tried that once JB, before I was even dating my wife. Was giving her a ride to a party sinc eshe lived down the road from me and was t young to drive. She kept talking and talking and I kept turning the music up loader and loader because well, she was a Freshamn girl and talked about stuff that at the time really seemed unimportant and besdieds, she was drowning out my music... ABout 50 minutes later in the car I realized it wasn't worth trying and about 5 hours later as I drove her home I realized she was okay and about 3 months later we were dating and I finally found a way to get her to be quiet... Just say something stupid which isn't too tough for me :lol: Since than I earned her yelling or talking is a lot better than er giving me the old stare a me silent treatment.

There are other ways to keep them quiet also,




































but it's hard to keep on the road, while your kissing a woman. :wink:



Some of you people, just have got to get your minds out of the gutters!
:shock: :wink:
 
JB, as you can imagine as a mid-40's single guy I was keeping my nose out of this thread! :roll: :shock: :D :lol: But I just can't resist. IMO, 'Bama was not disrespectful, just honest and realistic. He hit the nail on the head and got the "shoot the messenger" response in return.

IMO, there is a world of difference between cowboys and ranchers. Many folks make the mistake of thinking they are one and same, which is possible but many times not necessarily so. I believe the same holds true for cowgirls and ranch women. Nuff' said!

Now I'll head for cover again! :D :D :D
 
Thanks for all of the input, but I did get a PM from one kind soul who enlightened me about Alabama--I WAS right on the mark. I guess being single for him is better than having to listen to someone's mouth, and why he is still single. I suppose there are more than enuf reasons for not wanting to be in the truck with him.

But aren't we all digressing here . . . this was never the point of this topic. It's easy to joke around and point fingers at people, its much harder to reflect and take someone seriously. People laugh and make fun when they are not comfortable with the subject. Guess that's how you all feel about trying to help someone out.

No body's making fun of you....they're just giving you ' facts' of that lifestyle of the rancher/cowboy...whatever you want to call it.

Don't take it that way.....cause it's not intended that way. I guess it's just that us folks in this buisness always run into people who get all dreamy eyed about the lifestyle we have.

I'm in the South...so I'm not pulling calves in -20...but when you're up at 2AM covered with calf goo from hard pull in December....30 degrees is pretty damned cold also!!!

Have you experienced this type of life style before and want to get back to it?
 
Honesty is one thing, disrespect and being crude is another. I have never been afraid of hard work, and have done a lot of things that I never thought I would do. What I don't like is crass men! My opinion still stands of Alabama--I know no woman who would put up with that.

I went back and read bamas post ....as a 43 year old woman with an 11 year old daughter and 14 year old son and 22 year old son. You sounded alot like me so I wanted to see what ol bama said :shock:

Hmmmmm Bama was NO way crass UNLESS your a Drama queen. But I think most missed the part of your first post that you wanted to be eye candy. Hun your not going to be eye candy on a ranch.....well wait the bull thought I was candy, even gave me a lick on the hand nawwww he just thought I had feed
:?
If your daughter is doing all the pee wee rodeos I am sure you can find a single dad there and he might even rope too. But a real rancher barely has time to make the county fair.
Sorry about your opionion of bama I have never found him anything but upfront honest and will try to make unpleasant topics as pleasant sounding as he can to a lady. He is a true southern gentleman.
 
Rereading your first post... Doesn't really sound like you are lookinf for a rancher so much as a horse person and they can be two very different things. Again, most cattle folks I know who even still use horses don't have time for the team roping and penning thing anymore. The folks that do that are the ones with jobs in town or even, gasp, farmers. There is a club around here that does it every week down at the local arena and I would imagine that would be a place for you to find people with similiar interests and the time to do things like that.. You might have to cast your net a little further out than the area you frequent because perhaps the locals are not your cup of tea.

Now, if you think a Rancher is what you want to be with I would imagine you would have to find a way to get yourself into the social cirlce they do travel. Bull sales, auctions and stuff like that. That is how many of the cow coupls I know met later in life (Others met earlier in life at 4-H type shows and stuff like that). Oh I know, sounds like fun, sitting in a dusty auction but there is generally some sort of sociallizing that goes on too... Just make sur eoyu don't buy a bull on accident while scratching your nose.

I'm only 31 and most of the guys who are near my contempories (IE running a place) are married if they are worth spit. The few unmarried ones I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy but I have had this talk with some guys in the past too who were looking for love in all the wrong places... I don't think people are making fun of you, I think these messages just evolve or devlove a bit into a comedy usually... Nothing to get too upset about.
 
I KNOW we have helped folks out. It goes on constantly on this forum..

You came here, 2blondes, with a request. When we give you the facts, now you are unhappy with us and saying we are uncomfortable with the subject. I highly doubt that. Humor is a way of life with most of us.

I just don't think you have a clue about what you are asking for.
Is there any way you could spend a summer on a ranch so you
have more understanding? Wait...a winter/spring in Canada or Montana,
North or South Dakota or Wyoming would really give you a glimpse
into the lifestyle you think you want.

I would highly recommend you do that.

And Alabama is a pretty neat guy in my book. He got a bad woman
once and he is what we call, "a little headshy." His reply was funny
to most of us. Perhaps you need to lighten up. That's something most
ranch wives have had to learn to do.
 
Well one thing I know all men don't want to hear is all about what a loser your last guy was-just my .02 cents. I got was pretty good to a dog once and it up and bit me-I don't think every dog I ever see will. Just as some men are confirmed batchelors at 50 there are women that are once they start talking you can see why they are single at that age too. not pointing fingers but putting out a spec sheet for a prospective partner just kind of rubs me the wrong way. I was smart enough to marry a beautiful woman who wears glasses and as I get older and fatter she must not update her prescription because I don't get a rundown of my faults every day-somedays but not every day lol.
 
"He got a bad woman?" Couldn't possibly be the other way around? So is that funny now?

I don't have the luxury of "taking a summer off" to work on a ranch. I work full time/year round like you all do (even if it isn't on a ranch), and yes, I do make a lot of $ doing it.

Never mind . . . this was never posted to make fun of people. It was a serious request, and I have received more finger poking than serious responses. If what you wanted was to run me off then you have accomplished your goal.
:(
 
Ahhhh...come on! No one ran you off!!

Heck, they've been trying to ' get me' for months now!!!


They're telling you the truth!

And I guess this brings up another point....ranchers/cow folks/farmers have a different sort of humor. That's also part of the deal.

"I will say that older single men may be too selfish or self-centered, so look for one who has and loves his kids or was married and loved his wife but is widowed. Seriously. That has been the biggest thing I have seen is immature older men who are incapable of caring for another person."

Unfortunately, that is what I have experienced too. I have poured my heart and soul into one man here in Oregon for the past 6 years, and never got invited to a family function or told that he loved me. What is the shame is that we are so damn good together--something he will never know because he won't take that step. Now I understand why his wife left--he is just too emotionally unavailable. What a shame.

I just checked out this thread and felt I had to put in my 2 cents' worth, FWIW.
1) Seriously, it took you 6 YEARS to figure this guy out??? I'd have dumped him after the 1st year.

2) Are you single or divorced mother of an 11-year-old daughter? If divorced, is her father in her life? From experience, it is difficult to marry someone with kids (and especially if you have kids of your own) and raise them all as your own. It is very hard on the KIDS. My suggestion would be to raise your daughter till she leaves home, then go looking.

3) If that isn't feasible to you, then Alabama hit the nail on the head. You want to marry a cowboy or a Rancher? Neither of them will have large bank balances, and if ranchers have time to play all the time, he must be well off enough to have hired people to do all the work. IF you are going to marry a RANCHER, you WILL have to pull your weight. We are calving now, I've had to pull a couple calves already out in the field because the calf was half out and the heifers kept wanting to stand up. Lots of nice, slimey amniotic fluid all over clothes and arms, but well worth it, I saved one of them. We also AI, put your arm up the cow's arse, and feel where the pipette is going so you can dump the bull semen just past the cervix. ALSO to PREG TEST, gotta put your arm up the cow's arse and feel for the fetus. I still have fences to fix, clothes to wash, house to clean and meals to make. We ship our "nearlings" on Fri, got the last of them home yesterday, one of them had a bone stuck in it's throat. Had to head catch it, stick my arm in it's mouth and got it dislodged. YUMMY! Some rumen fluid on the bone, but I never heard such a sigh of relief from a bovine like that in my life. We clean pens with the skid steer in the dust, chase cows around in the mud (if we ever get lucky enough to get mud :? ). Try to tag calves whose mommas are pretty much in your face, bellering. I agree with the idea of spending a time on a working ranch, try Montana Bunkhouses - www.montanabunkhouses.com

BTW, my better half helps with the meals and stuff around the house. It is a partnership. :)
 
Its too bad you felt like you were being ran off,you weren't :!: You were just getting truthful info....by the way PM aren't always truthful,obviously if they thought you needed to know the "Truth" about Bama maybe the should have been brave enuff to share with everyone else...hence the truth part.Alabama has been nothing but respectful,mixed with humor on here,maybe thats your shortfall..you don't get humor :? Stay,read the boards and enjoy the site...it is awesome and full of great ranchers and non-ranchers. :)

I went back and read this whole thread.

I don't think we ran her off, I think we SCARED her off.

We told her everything she didn't want to know about being
married to a rancher/farmer. :wink:

Yep, I think you're right, FH...............

.......and I really didn't see anything disrespectful in what Alabama said........he seems like a pretty good ole boy to me! :nod: It's just that cowboy humor deal again. :nod:

Sorry you were frightened away by the truth, 2BC...........this is really a great board, with some really great folks on it. It might be worth a second try.......maybe make a few friends before ya start tryin to marry up with one of the guys. Just a thought.

:cboy:
 
Blondie, we're not trying to be rude or pick on you or scare you off. We're just telling it like it is, some of us just do it a little blunter than the rest, i.e. Alabama. He's a good guy with a different sense of humor. You just haven't been on here long enough to get to know the different personalities that make up the ranchersnet family. Stick around, you'll get to know and love each and every one of us!

As for the "rich" rancher that you're looking for, I wish you luck. But in all honesty girl, the only way a real rancher is rich is with the lifestyle he has chosen to lead, not his bank account. They ranch because they love it, and not for the money.
 
Alabama probably sent her that picture showing his knobby knees- that could run anyone off :wink: :lol: :lol:
