Or skin cancer on my overly tanned shoulders at 35.  Belly is still as white as ever.
I can relate. I just had 'probable' actinic keratosis frozen on my 38 year old forearm. The dermatologist asked if I did 'tanning' & told me to stay out of the sun. I am Swedish & Irish, so I am screwed.

On a lighter note, here is another musing:
On Monday morning your feet are swollen and in no shape to stuff into your dress up shoes.
or
At least one romantic moment has been interrupted by the discovery of a tick.

Come on, climbonsister! No doubt. Something tells me that we weren't exactly the "primping and crimping" ladies she was looking for though. Or she is busy at the gym, heel hooking EVERYthing in her bedazzled men's aggressive shoes :-| I think she's simply pimpimg her blog. She has very few posts & every one is solely a link to her website with no content. Actually, it looks like she updated her original post with some of y'alls suggestions: "You Might Be a Girl Climber If..." post, which was super hard to find due to confusing blog layout
On the contrary, ladies, I like to read everyone's comments, but stay out of board conversations because it allows posters to reply freely. :) I do admit, I am pimping my blog, but I'm pimping it in hopes that more women will be psyched to climb and realize that they're very capable of achieving great things.
The list is obviously to be taken lightly and all in jest. Also, I actually do know some women that bedazzle their men's agressive shoes ;) To each her own, I guess...

I'll have to hunt them down for a quick snapshot.

However, I do know they don't look like these: http://kathleenfaulkner.blogspot.com/search/label/shoes

One of my female climbing partners told me she thought girls end up smellier than boys after a weekend of climbing. This was last Sunday at the NRG, which was the end of VERY rainy weekend at the crag, with a group three boys to her one girl, so she had plenty of points of reference. I tried to tell her - A. You're standing closer to yourself, so naturally you will smell yourself more. B. You're fucking crazy. Boys stink way worse. She wasn't buyin it though. So yeah, girls stink worse. Apparently. Option C might be that girls NOTICE that they stink, more than guys(notice that they stink).
Well, I can only speak for myself but my Fructis shampoo got reinvigorated everytime it rained so I, for one, smelled fabulous.

I'd prefer BO. That crap is nasty. BO, at least, doesn't trigger my asthma.

I feel I have arrived. I now legitimately look, and somewhat feel, like I may be the survivor of abuse! Well, except for the sunburn, I guess . . .

You might be a climber girl if:
When putting sunscreen on you SO's shoulders, s/he asks you, "Are your hands dirty or just really rough?".
To remove crack climbing tape residue, you use a loofah.
Painting your toenails is sometimes necessary to conceal the dirt on your toes.

When you find your toddler playing with your gear at the crag saying, "this is a nut tool. This is a cam. Vroom vroom!"
Yes. Clearly you can play trucks with a few cams and a nut pick.

This one my climbing partner said.
When you are told at work, "We know you're a lesbian. But you look like a man beats the sh*t out of you. It is too soon to wear a skirt."
