Okay, fellow bovines, I'm going to start the ball rolling, but please feel free to add more or improve this FAQ in any way. I almost hate to post this because the "where are the cute girl mtbiker" posts generate such hilerious responses, I almost hate to discourage them. Anyway, for better or worse, here is my offering:
Q: May I ask where the cute girls ride in such-and-such a town?
A. No. Don't even think about it. This is not a bar nor the Personals section of the local paper, and we're not here to be hit on or picked up. If you doubt me, read these threads:

If you do it anyway, expect to be verbally crucified, chopped up and fed to the hogs. Even the other guys who post here will show you no sympathy whatsoever.
Q: Where can I go to find female mtbikers?
A1: Check out your local bike club or shop for organized rides. Find out if there's a women's ride and use your imagination.
A2: Hang out in the WL. Lurk, read, post (other than question #1), whatever. Maybe you'll find some of us live near you, or you can read about where we ride. I am not encouraging stalking, however.
Q: Will I be forced to read posts about women's heath issues and bodily functions that may make me squeamish?
A: No one will force you to do anything, but yes, you'll find that stuff here.
Q: May I ask how to help get my wife/girlfriend/sister/SO interested in or more comfortable mountain biking?
A: Absolutely! We'd be delighted to help out.
Q: May I post or respond to posts in general?
A: Sure. Be aware that several of the regulars are equipped with sharp sarcastic wits and know how to use them. It's all in fun, unless, however, you disregard the answer to question #1.
