Host your own PDC or workshop?
What are some other ideas for in-person permaculture events you could meet someone like-minded at?
What kind of events would you be more likely to encounter lots of ladies? Which ones would you meet more guys?

And maybe find a similarly aged and interested person with whom to build a set of whatevers that we'd like to make part of the fabric of our local ruralities, towns, and small cities, etc.
I think the hardest part is pure economics -- the difficulty of people from diverse places being able to meet and greet enough for one or both people to decide to commit and move. My belief is also we've become more than a little bit gun shy, I think. Not so much about the commitment, but at least in my own experience: I don't know that we'all remember how to become and stay sweethearts with each other.
What do y'all think? Could we build this kind of meeting space in many many different towns and small cities if we pilot projected a good one, and showed that it would work?

I find myself contemplating my relationship status a lot right now and i do wish there were permaculture mixers I could go to. Even if they were on zoom it would be nice to connect with like minded people. I'm in a Permaculture dead zone which makes it even worse. (Insert insult aimed at the state of ct here!) Honestly I'm hoping to meet someone at a farmers market since I'm trying to cut back on the phone usage but the odds are slim, guess i better start hoping for fate to intervene lol

I started a Homesteading Club in my area and it has brought together a lot of people. ... once you start talking to people about it, they come out of the woodwork. ... It's lead to building a a Community Garden that also would be a good place to find like minded people. If you build it, they will come
