April 22, 201214 yr Active Members Yesterday, 68 fun-loving women from Madrid hopped on a bus and travelled more than a hundred miles to meet the lonely men of Candeleda, Spain. According to this article, Candeleda, like many rural Spanish towns, is in danger of disappearing altogether if the population continues to decline. So a Spanish dating service, taking its cue from a 1951 American film, Westward the Women, is bussing scores of ladies to these rural outposts to give love a chance to blossom in the boondocks. Of course, a lot has changed since the middle of the last century when the film was made, and there are surely now plenty of lonely gay and bi-curious gentlemen in the world's hinterlands. While some may have already set out for the bright lights of the big city, what will become of those who choose to remain in their ancestral homes? Surely, they'll be destined to lives of dreariness and despair. Unless, that is, folks like us heed the call of these loveless lugs and board a bus of our own to bring balm, succor and, dare I say, a touch of flair to the remote towns and villages whose very existence may depend on our little band of merry MER-men. So how about it? Would you hop a bus to bring hope to a deserving rural romantic who's been longing for someone just like you? Would you go as far as Candeleda? How about Comăneşti? Or maybe even Çapar? This being a worldly and caring bunch, there's probably no shortage of amorous ambassadors, eager to spread our fair share of fun and frolic, among other things. So all aboard, please no shoving, and the line forms at the rear.
