JohnRich 4 #3 June 18, 2010 Quote: "5 signs you could have a player on your hands… He’s a thrill-seeker. A guy who spends his spare time looking for a rush — fast driving, bungee jumping, kite-boarding, heli-skiing — should give you pause. This type, says Dr. Kalish, craves the excitement that comes from conquering a difficult challenge, and that goes for his relationship goals as well. Once he’s “conquered” you, your allure may quickly fade."Well, I guess that leaves out all of us skydivers. So I suppose we should lie about our hobby...

She needs fair warning that I'm going to be spending my weekends at the dropzone. So she either needs to be cool with coming with me and hanging out, or have her own weekend hobbies/job. .... Probably why I'm single. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #9 June 18, 2010 I haven't been on a date in a long time. But I have half decided that when I find someone worth asking out, the first date will be a jump. It will be worth the money to find out if she can hang. 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

Glitch 0 #11 June 18, 2010 Yeah... no shit! I tried his approach, and it only took a couple of 'keepers' to figure out that it was just way too damn expensive to be footing the bill for both of us to jump!Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...

BillyVance 34 #16 June 18, 2010 Quote I think you meant the male to female ratio makes the women inaccessible; right? While it's true that some skydivers can find love with a fellow skydiver, just ask Lawrocket and DFWAJG, this is the exception to the norm. But hey, once you get around in the sport and start doing some boogies, you're bound to run into a nice lady or two with your interests in mind. Don't go looking. They'll come when you don't expect it.

Yep, just not as creative as the real smooth talkers. But really, do players really say "I want you to have my children"? That line stinks, IMHO. When I was single, I was guilty of #1 and #5, but the rest? Stupid if you ask me. I just tried to enjoy life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
