where the pot heads go to dance...

While doing a random look around the net cause, hey let's face it, not like I have a life or anything, I came across this rather interesting dating web site (https://www.potheadsingles.com). A website dedicated to people that can actually write in their ad "I smoke pot" and the other person wont take an automatic 'burn out loser' attitude and walk away. This is a place where people that enjoy a bit of the herbage can meet like minded individuals for hanging out and talking. Also, kind of dangerous considering that a police officer that really wants to make some busts on drugs, can get on, pretend to be a person looking for some drug induced love, show up at parties and make huge busts. But, then again, with all the paper work invovled in some countries for registering and charging a person for smoking a joint and the slap on the wrist punishments that some of these countries have for said offences, would an officer go through all that trouble just to grab someone who happens to have a joint in their house on the odd time without hurting anyone?

I think either this site is relatively new OR it is a case where only the really stupid and burnt out pot smokers would put an ad up (for the reason mentioned above). I did a search by country for women and men, aged between 18 and 100, all ads for a few select countries, and these are the results:

FEMALES
Canada - 186
USA - 664
Australia - 6
New Zealand - 4
United Kingdom - 9
Singapore and other asian countries - 0

MALES
Canada - 34
USA - 129
Australia - 0
New Zealand - 0
United Kingdom - 3
Singapore and other asian countries - 0

What I found particularly surprising is the difference in male to females. I would have expected more males to be on this site looking for a date than females considering usually when people are talking it is stoned men and a few females. Like when you see them in the park, in their tight little circles, looking all innocent but you can smell the weed a mile away. I am so used to seeing about 6-7 guys all surrounding 2-3 females, not in a threatening 'smoke this and get mellow so we can take advantage of you' way, but in a friendly 'join our group and be one of us' kind of way. So I was particularly surprised to see that in all countries females are more than males. Shall I take a shot at gender intelligence for the above mentioned reason at the beginning of my post??? nah, let the reader make up their own minds on that one. Perhaps maybe it is the other way and say that maybe the smart women do their habits out of the public eye, whereas think skulled men are stupid (defiant and brave) enough to do an illegal act out in the open?

Though one thing that really did not surprise me was the total lack of use of this website by Asian countries, especially Singapore. I wonder if it is just because these countries dont know that this wonderful website exists. Though I am leaning towards the whole idea that they dont know about it because the numbers indicate a strong USA use, average Canadian use and the farther from USA, the lesser the numbers.

So, I wonder, free dating site helping those with special hobbies attract each other OR cunning police predator trap out to catch the slower of the prey? You be the judge...
