kelel01 1 #1 July 25, 2006 No absolutes here, which is why I added the "most" distinction. And I'm referring to their standards as to what women they find attractive, in case there's any question. I say YES (for most of them). And I believe it is because of the ratio of men:women in the sport. You'd probably find the same lower standards in other male-dominated sports.

kelel01 1 #4 July 25, 2006 I was thinking the same thing. And I actually typed it and thought about whether or not to post it for a while. But shit . . . it just seems so obvious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firephoto 0 #6 July 25, 2006 I can't speak for others but I would say no. With 4 jumps I am not sure I count as a skydiver though. I do say I have high standards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrad 0 #7 July 25, 2006 I voted yes, but I don't think its anything to do with them being Skydivers, i just think most men have low or no standards at all. (Also goes for alot of women too).When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

kelel01 1 #13 July 25, 2006 Even if I "just make the cut", then you, by definition have low standards. And if I exceed "the cut" to a greater extent, then . . . well, Lord help you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think my standards are also just different. I often find girls who are not "classically" beautiful to be gorgeous and find those who are said by others to be hot to be less than desirable.

It varies too much with the person, the stage in life, heck, the time of day. When I was between wives my standards were around "If the ID says yes...OK" but as soon as my wife and I started dating, the bar got set to where she's the only possible person to make the cut.

If she kicked me to the curb, after a while I'd probably drop again, except the standards would be lower now because I'm much less of a catch now than I was then (even though there's much more of me to catch) adn I know it.I am not the man.
