    I've met multiple of these women and through dating, and once I went to my first Ball I came to my conclusion that the skills developed here outclass the skills gained in most other communities and this is from a military Vet.
    I don't walk, and won't due to my need for privacy, but the skills I've gained through hanging with the community has helped me in life dramatically.
