One of my nieces lives a little ways south of there. I worry about her a bit. She makes plenty of money and can kick a soy boy’s ass, but I worry about her finding a good man.
The problematic counties are Snohomish, King, and Pierce. South of Tacoma is Joint Base Lewis-McChord (Army and Air Force). The ethos is more acceptable outside those counties, and much more so across the mountains into eastern Washington. Tell her to look for a man who loves animals, shoots guns, and rides horses.
In fact, my advice for women looking for men is to take up shooting. The clientele at gun ranges is mostly men of conservative leaning, and they would be unable to resist the plight of a woman who asks for some help. Especially if she is shooting pistol of 9mm or higher caliber, or a long arm of at least .30 caliber. (Anything less is regarded as wimpy for a man.) Taking an introductory shooting class is preparation. Plus, it is the very best form of personal defense.
It is a beautiful state, and this is also what happens when Californians are driven out of their state by insane government policies, to shit the same way when they are here. "Don't Californicate Washington" is a venerable slogan.
That is a good suggestion. She used to be Olympic caliber archer. She used to work out with the Olympians for fun. Shooting should come easy.
Years ago, I went to a shooting class, evenings of book work and weekends of practical exercise. There were a number of young women in the class, not all of them enthusiastic, because they were under duress of needing protection from jealous ex-boyfriends and such. It turned out, they were some of the better performing class members, because they had no testosterone-driven pride in questioning the instructor. They just listened and learned. And a curious thing developed. As they discovered they could be good shots, their whole attitude toward what they were doing turned around to a very positive view. I found it to be a lesson, that people find it hard to be dubious or afraid of what they find they can do well.
