does skydiving make one sexy?

Recommended Posts

Personally, I think it is attractive to a certain segment of the female population. It’s the “danger guy” thing. ;) Of course all depends on how you present it. Downplaying it is usually the best method. ;-)

Unfortunately, when they figure out that you can’t see them on weekends because you’re jumping it becomes decidedly problematic.

For bored women with no life? Yes, anything other than what they are doing is interesting. They want to say "my b/f does... (insert anything) "

For someone with no life that wants you in theirs? No. They want to do everything with you, Allllll the time, every day, and they don't want to do that.

"Hi, I skydive."
"Nice talking to you."

yes, girls that skydive is sexy, unless they brag about it. Bragging is a big turnoff no matter who it comes from.

...which is why you need to find a girl who skydives :) It just occured to me, in my club, all the active jumpers are single, except for those who has an SO who skydives.. :)

I was just wondering if telling a girl you are a skydiver makes you sexier in her eyes?



Telling someone - maybe :S

The ACT of skydiving sure doesn't make you sexier. Femur. Other broken bones. Smell like jet fuel. Skin all dry and wrinkly from exposure. Various cuts, bruises and scars.

A certain person kept trying to impress me with his skydiving bravado (didn't work-he had only done a couple tandems) until he found out that I actually really do skydive. At that point he lost complete interest. . .he wasn't sexy and his attitude wasn't sexy. . .

Show up at my door with a dozen purple roses and a bottle of cabernet. . .hmmmm, in a couple glasses I will think you are sexy. . .

In general, no, using skydiving to impress someone or to pick up someone is not sexy. . .in my opinion.

Have had an ex say she liked how I smelled when I got to her house after jumping. That lasted until summer jumping, then I had to go straight to the shower.

I have to admit, I tend to find men who skydive sexy. Of course, that's because I also skydive.

If I wasn't a skydiver, and some guy told me he skydived simply to impress me, I don't think it would work so well. It's definitely not something I'd want to talk about for more than the barest moment. So if you're looking to impress a girl, be who you are...not what you do.

If you're saying or doing anything just to "impress" someone you're going to come off as needy , man. If it's really your thing and part of who you are, then that side of your personality will show. If it seems you're just trying to brag or do something because you feel you can't gain her interest on your own merit , she's going to see right through it.

throwing yourself out of an airplane in hopes it will get you laid is hardly a good idea. LOL ;)

Had guy a work a few years ago that wanted to start skydiving. I took him through tandem progression. It took him awhile to get through the program but finally finished. He did one solo jump and later that week told me he was giving up the sport. When I asked him why, he said he thought it was really going to help him pick up chicks! He said they didn't care when they told them he was a skydiver. I then told him if he would have told me that was the reason he wanted to skydive that I could have saved him alot of money. Even if skydiving does help you pick up women, you will lose the ones that stick around for awhile when they figure out skydiving is more important to you than they are.

Personally, I'd prefer a guy who tells me he skydives and plays guitar.

Now, that's downright sexy!



I know someone who skydives and is very good at playing the gee tar. But he is far from sexy. :S
I hope he doesn't see this, actually I don't think he can read so I'm good...:D
