hkf 0 #1 January 20, 2004 Had a laugh today, I'm currently developing a dating website in the UK, and have spent a fair bit of time on dating sites checking out there features etc. I find it amazing the number of men on these sites claiming to be skydiving instructors. The bozo in the link below was the funniest as his picture is of him at my local DZ (where I am an instructor) on the flightline in a tandem student harness. I've never seen him before in my life yet he rekons he's an instructor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://uk.personals.yahoo.com/personals-1072291073-943042 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #2 January 20, 2004 He says he is "training to be a skydiving instructor." I guess I am too, then. I am also training to be an astronaut (I was recently a passenger in an airplane) and a firefighter (I blew out the candles on my birthday cake). ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canopycandy 0 #3 January 20, 2004 Nice that he's open pretty much to ANYONE. At least he's not picky. I have a personal ad from the local paper that I keep on my fridge. It's my favorite, and it never fails to crack me up. It says something like: Lady Amputee Wanted SWM in search of SF, age 18 to 100. Your charm, style and grace make me swoon. No baggage please. Arm or leg amputee preferred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #4 January 20, 2004 What about training to be a F1 driver, or better still - a porn star !! ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeemax 0 #5 January 20, 2004 wait, thats headcorn..! HKF? who are you? James? You use dating websites? There must be someone we can find to go out for a date with this guy..

turtlespeed 221 #7 January 20, 2004 That would make me a Don Trump trainee - Slow going, that training is. Caught up to his finances a few years ago, but he broke away again.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hkf 0 #8 January 20, 2004 Yes it is James, and I don't use dating sites, I'm writing a dating site for a client. If I did use dating sites, my preference would be women not men, but I wouldn't search for them either cos I'm very happily married. BTW My wife will read this!

ACMESkydiver 0 #14 January 20, 2004 Ah, come on, guys! Give the guy a break! If he's been on a tandem, then he may full-well intend on continuing through to license and on to instruction. -I do! I'm just at the 'A' level in this progression...it will take time, but I will eventually be an instructor! I am progressing towards that end continually... I could see if he said he was an instructor, but he said: QuoteI am training to be a skydiving instructor ...and the poor guy isn't even on his own yet, skydiving may be the best thing he has going to attract women! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

hkf 0 #16 January 20, 2004 The funny thing is any whuffo female thats ever been out with a skydiver would probably never do it again, and anyone that hasen't just think we are mad, so I doubt it's gonna help him!
