What makes skydivers so different from whuffos?

Plus i like the attention it gets me and it's a great ice breaker on dates.

You know the progression of that, don't you?

Girl "Wow, you skydive!"

Later in the relationship "Wow, you skydive a lot."

Too soon "Skydiving or me."

Goes full circle though.

That happens after being married X years, no matter what the sport. While my wife has not told me to go, she has learn that a happy husband make for a happy wife,.....and I will add, vise-versa.

That's when you know you have a "Keeper". They know what you need.

My wife and I both skydive and when either of us are having a shitty/great or anything in between type of day/week whatever, then that's a good enough reason to go jump... Pretty much leads to jumping all day, every day off. Work and jump. Neither of us are complaining and can't get enough. Yes, you can be jealous.

I was that kid jumping out if his tree house with a bed sheet. My dad wouldn't let me use the ladder to try the roof...

John's wife jumps, too. I don't think he has reason to be jealous.

In general, though, I think the fact that both parties in a couple jump just makes it easier to plan out weekend/vacation time. I know it does for my b.f. and me. It doesn't make us any more special, though.

NWFlyer's right. My wife jumps too. Makes for a great life, doesn't it?

My husband's intense fear of height's?!

My husband does not skydive, and while he just cannot get why I like it so much, he 100% supports me.

He bought me a NEW rig for the holidays.
I like to experience life in as many ways as I can.

Lots of skydivers are afraid of heights. I hate being on a ladder or roof.

My friends always find it amusing.
