Muffie 0 #1 February 17, 2011 At the dz yesterday we were chatting and one of the girls made a comment that part of the reason she thought she'd ended up with her current skydiving boyfriend was because they had similar fall rates. The more I started thinking about it the more it kinda made sense (similar fall rates = like jumping together = more time spent together = ya know), so figured I'd go to the masses and see what people thought. So, for those of you who have dated a fellow skydiver did fallrate matter? (And by date, I mean something that lasted longer than a boogie) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #6 February 17, 2011 A good skydiver will adjust their fall rate to anyone. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #10 February 17, 2011 Quote So you'll let me dock on you??? Quick. Very quick. I had to vote for boobies. Never dated a diver and I've given up on dating. I'll keep an eye out at the DZ and see if there is any merit to this theory.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydived19006 4 #17 February 17, 2011 I voted for "boobies." Ordinarily I'd prefer my partner to have a slower fall rate, but if boobies are the "speed factor" well then.... Wow! That was pretty politically incorrect. Honestly, fall rate aside I think that my fav booby adjective would have to be "pert." We can make up the fall rate with a skin tight suit and lead.Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

vskydiver 0 #18 February 17, 2011 I dated my skydiving instructor for a short while, before marrying him 27 years ago. He was a good enough skydiver back then that he could match my fall rate while I learned, even though he was much bigger, and I was extremely floaty. Now we match each other without thinking about it. Sometimes I work extra hard to keep up with him, sometimes he works extra hard to keep up with me. It's all about priorities. We stick together no matter what. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lauraliscious 0 #23 February 19, 2011 My husband and I met at a boogie, and although I've never thought about it before we *do* have similar fall rates! Although I love RW and he loves to freefly and wingsuit, so we actually don't jump together all that often. But when we do jump together we've never had a problem with fall rate!
