Being smart at the DZ

[Remster 30]

I am really pissed off that Krisanne posted that thread about being smart on the DZ in the Chick's forum. While it’s fair enough that the women in the sport are educated in how to take care of themselves, it really doesn’t help with our score percentages.

I’ve been around for a while, and I’ve see my share of DZs and boogies, so I thought maybe now might be a good time to share some of the more subtle stuff I've noticed in my years in the sport. I'm sure other men can add some stuff (and maybe disagree with me on some of this), but in the end, it’s all common sense.

1) The other men in this sport can be your greatest allies – is there any better wingman then another drunken skydiver? You should keep a level head though. It’s one thing to have your buddy help you hook up with the new girl, it’s another ending up in a 3some: 2 girls at once is hot, but high-fiving your best buddy is not something you’ll want to remember after the jaggerbombs wear out.

2) Take care of your guests. When you offer rides to the visiting hottie, you want to make her as comfortable as possible: make sure to put a blanket and pillow in the back seat. Same thing with letting her stay at your place: nothing says caring like leaving a bottle of massage oil and KY Intrigue on her nightstand: It may seem like it'll be easy to find some other lubricant in the heat of the moment... till you're in that situation.

3) The attention we give to women in this sport is our best tool. But if you are going to use your charms and best lines, go back to point number 1: have a wingman. The creepier he is, the better off you are. After all, if he starts hitting on that new girl, you’ll look even more charming (even if you are only ½ the creep he is).

4) Speaking of alcohol - are you prepared to face the consequences of decisions you make and actions you take when you've been drinking? I mean, ordering a strawberry margarita may have seen like a good idea at the time, till all your buddies see the pics of you holding a pink drink with an umbrella in it on facebook.

5) Speaking of dating - so you meet someone you actually do want to date (not just a drunken hookup you'll regret the next day ). Don’t worry, the buzz will wear off. I mean, why the hell would you want to tie yourself down to one chick: what’s the point of getting that instructor rating!?! . Skydiving's a small sport. Everyone knows everyone else. Why ruin your reputation as the DZ playa with a steady thing? They're going to be up in your business anyway.

6) In the air – remember two words: kiss passes. Ok, a couple more words: open face helmets and kiss passes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

You forgot a very key piece of information:

7) Fly video. Girls love nothing more than to see themselves, and plus, who knows? That camera and helmet may be handy later on in the evening.

There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

And if you can't fly camera have a mirror finished helmet - so thy can do their lippy before exit.

I got this one covered.

Seems only fair to bring this one back up, you know, in the interest of being fair and balanced...

Ex1: "Stop! No Don't!" - This is bad mmmkay?
Ex2: "No! Don't Stop!" - Burn it low!

Be careful though. those of us that are happily married and not willing to risk that on a DZ hook-up, can still be a part of the dating game frivolity by cockblocking our single friends

You are using the term "friends" loosely...real friends don't cockblock (and best friends stop you from cockblocking yourself...)

It depends on the situation. I have cockblocked friends intentionally knowing they would regret it and they have done the same for me. It's all part of being a good wingman

Oh yes they do. When your friend has had half a bottle of JD and is hitting on that fat chick you strongly suspect is a man - time to start running interference (after you get a few pictures of course)

I am not a country fan but this song definetly sums it up... Toby Keith, Runnin Block;

My buddy said his girlfriend is as pretty as can be
He said help a brother out tonight and come double date with me
She's gotta a baby sister and they're headed into town
They're lookin' for a good time
They're fun to be around

I said what do she look like?
He scratched his head and stated
"She was a home comin' football queen before she graduated.
We'll wine and dine and do 'em fine
and really double date 'em
Then take 'em back to the motel six and
Try to seperate 'em.

They showed up in a pick up
They were right on time
His was kinda heafty
But not half as big as mine

(Chores)
I'm runnin' block
Turn the lights down low
Runnin' block
Don't want know one to know
That I tried to drink her skinny but she's still about 215
Sometimes you got to bow up
And take one for the team

She cleaned her plate at dinner
Then she ate what's left of mine
Then she wolfed down a big cheesecake as I drank all the wine
She strolled out to the padio for an after dinner cig
I said "Bro you done 'er this time and gonna owe me big

You know why?
'Cuz my brother's havin' a party
Thought you outta know
He's got coeds swimmin naked
Reason I can’t go

(Chores)
Now bow up boys

When we got back 2 the motel,
I kicked up my feet,
and she put me in a head lock and says snuggle up with me
My buddy finished early, when he walked through the door
I was laying there half naked she had me pinned down 2 the floor
Son I can’t believe u caught me, this big old jelly roll
You laugh at me tomorrow
You can’t ever tell a sole

2 girls at once is hot, but high-fiving your best buddy is not something you’ll want to remember after the jaggerbombs wear out

I realize this is an old thread, but I'd like to point out that it's not gay unless your balls touch.
