I prefer dating whuffos.
----------------------------------------------------------
yeah thats because they have money to spend on their women.



Negative. I don't date anyone for their money.



it's not the money it's what comes with it

My story seem a little different, I always wanted to Skydive since I was a kid, when I turn 18 a friend gave me a free course in the Peruvian army which I could't attend because I moved to the states, here I meer my whuffo girlfrind who knew how bad I wanted to do it (it never cross my miind to goto a dropzone, I didn't realy knwe how the whole thing worked then). Well one day at my 22nd b-day she told me she got a surprise for me, I didn'nt have an idea of what it was, she made me jump in the car in the morning and took me for the hour drive to my local dropzone, it wasn't untill we got there that she jump and said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
you are about to jumo of a plane!!! she had everything set up, I could belive it, I didn;t know if I should be exited or terrified, remember this was my first jump.
After I landen and the whole expierence passed by, the way I look at live changed so much, I love this sport I will jump until the day I die all thanks to my sweety, now the trick is that she is terrifed of jumping, is been 4 years and I still can convince her to do it, some day I will, but she supports me in everyway there is and gives me a kiss everytime before I go up there.


Thanks Sweety Pie in the Sky;)

-----------------------------------

how much is it worth a minute of unexplainable freedom =)

knowing my track record I'd probably fall for another skydiver:S



Eh, no worries. After a few years you'll realize skyguys aren't all that. Unless it's Brains', but he's taken. :P

I am single and happy. :)I think I have realized I am way too selfish to be in a relationship with a non jumper.
All my money is for jumping. If I ever get to a point where I have enough for jumping and other stuff then maybe.
Every sunny weekend is for jumping. If there is any extra money that’s left it is for future boogies, Coaching , and new gear.
I wouldn’t wanna date me if I was a non-jumper, and we all know the problems with finding a girl who is a jumper.
So do I really want to subject any poor non jumping girl to dealing with me………will maybe for the month Jan. we don’t jump then.
;)

They are interested in the aspect of you that you are fun and happy. They have a problem with why.

Conversation:
"What sport do you play?"
"Tennis/volleyball/rollerblade/pingpong"
"I love t/v/r/p, let's play sometime."

"Skydiving"
"I've always wanted to do that. Nice talking to you."

You spend all your money on it. It won't be an "us" sport. Their friends aren't going to do it with you, so you lose a social aspect. They don't want to hang with a guy who will develop a permanent injury.

Whuffo girls have excellent reasons for not dating jumpers.


if you want to get technical about it, i'm still a whuffo, and i'm dating a skydiver. he was a diver before we met and now he's gonna take me to get my aff training in the spring when the dz opens back up. i will be a whuffo no longer (as of march). so, it can happen to get a whuffo chick sometimes. not all of us are like:
"Skydiving"
"I've always wanted to do that. Nice talking to you."
but you are right about the no $$ part. :P at least it can help keep those golddiggers away. :S

if you date a skydiver...everyone and his brother is aware IMMEDIATELY. if single, like me and only looking for fun/entertainment/amusement your life is instantly on display...

i don't even mention the fact that i enjoy hoisting my body out of planes every single weekend...they're in love immediately, stick to you like freakin glue, then hate you b/c you "don't have enough time for him"

BAWAWAWAWAWAWA ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~BITE ME HAR BEYOTCH' is what i wanna say.

it's hard for us girlies too !!![:/]

Try being a skydive chick trying to get a whuffo bloke. Nightmare! Well nothing worse then being a wimp I guess!;)



I've seen it.

"Yeah, like, I do all these extreme sports and I am so out there. Mountain biking, climbing, spear-dodging... I am sooo extreme."


"Awesome, I love adventurous guys. I skydive and I'm on a 10-way speed team. My life is balls-to-the-wall."


:D

Single Male

Problem #1

With only about 5-10% of the sports participants being female, my chances of meeting a girlfriend in this sport don't seem very good. I'm still open for surprises though.



Cheer up Steve, it's not as bad as you think:

You forgot the part where the whuffo guy says he went skydiving once, and both his chutes failed, but he somehow survived. :S

It IS true! And it does become a sport.:P I particularly like when the guy tries to say he's a skydiver and mentions that he's done a couple of jumps. I play dumb and ask him what kind of jumps if he sounds really cocky. He'll usually say tandem and then act all macho.

Big surprise on him when I add the kicker:PB|

True story:

My girlfriend was working on a weekend evening, so we agreed to meet when she got out of work, at a popular night club nearby.

I showed up to find the club packed, so I took a position standing against the wall near the entrance. Of course this was also the ideal spot to scope out babes just arriving, so I was shoulder to shoulder with lounge lizards.

She showed up, and as she walked toward me, every lounge lizard focused in on her. As she gave me a hug and a kiss, the nearest lounge lizard chirped: "Hey! What's he got that I don't have?"

She matter-of-factly turned to him, looking him right in the eye:
"He's a skydiver."

"Oh", said the lizard with a crestfallen look.

One of my most priceless moments.
