GumbyGirl 0 #1 May 1, 2003 Does any female skydiver (or male skydiver) have a significant other in the sport who doesn't compliment them... ever?!?! I'm not sure if it's just a "guy" thing.. not to tell someone how you feel about them.. but my guy has never said, "You rock", or "your skydiving kicks ass".. or even how sexy I look with my grippers! C'mon guys... skydiving chicks need to feel the love!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #2 May 1, 2003 well thats partly because grippers are rarely sexy..get some nice freefly pants and a tank top and the complements will really roll inalthough i have seen some latex ones recently that were very nice.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

CanuckInUSA 0 #3 May 1, 2003 If I had a skydiving girlfriend, I'd definitely tell her that she rocked because we all know that she would rock. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katzeye 0 #4 May 1, 2003 Does he give you *any* compliments - skydiving or other? Is a chicken omelette redundant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GumbyGirl 0 #5 May 1, 2003 not really... other guys at the dz do, but not him. I know he digs me. just doesn't say it. I guess some guys are like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #7 May 2, 2003 I'm definately one lucky chicky....hookie poo is always telling me how proud he is of me. When I got my 104 he was so proud that his baby could fly a tiny canopy, when I did the MT women's state record and flew like a dream, he told everyone he came up to that it was his baby flying her slot (you have to see the video), he is definately my strongest supporter. Luv ya babe!Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeat10500 12 #9 May 2, 2003 Quote who doesn't compliment them... ever?!?! I'm not sure if it's just a "guy" thing.. not to tell someone how you feel about them.. I was married to a woman(4 jumps but not a skydiver) who never complimented me in any way for ten years...even though I would compliment her every day!( and I did mean it) I wish my story had a happy ending but I'm a single parent of 3 boys now. It's not a guy thing!!!! I don't think you need a tank top to get a compliment. I'm sure you ROCK 100%( BASE too...impressive). 1.tell him to smarten up. 2.

jumpergirl 0 #10 May 2, 2003 I am incredibly lucky. Travis compliments me and tell me he is proud of me all the time. He is my biggest fan, just like I am his. Some guys just don't vocalize what they feel or think. If you can get past that, then that's great. Some people are stuck on having that need to be told things, even if they may be shown in different ways - other than vocally. Like I said, I'm lucky... TRAVIS - YOU ROCK!!!

aneblett 0 #11 May 2, 2003 I would compliment my skydiving gf if I still had one. She left me for a while to teach english in Taiwan. Wasn't sure for how long so we broke it off. She did rock! Still does. I am not sure how often I told her but any load I was on I did my darndest to fly like her cause she was so much better than me (and I had more jumps than her). I hope I told her lots. Though it isn't just a guy thing we guys do tend to take those things for granted sometimes. Not only did she rock at Skydiving but she was good outside of that too. She rode motorcycle with me. No, not on the back of mine but when I got into it she learned to ride and bought a bike right along with me (newer than mine even). I really respect you and look up to you. So even though you probably won't see this. Jill you rock!Age edit to fix tense. S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

Casch 0 #12 May 2, 2003 First off, shame on your boyfriend for not complimenting you enough (ever?) on your skydiving. I personally find it appalling when someones significant other can't manage a compliment or two, now and then. Now, skychicks are SO COOL! There is something about female skydivers that really to me. WAAAAY better than whuffo females. Skychicks are so...I can't really explain it? They, unlike their whuffo counter-parts, know the true meaning of "FREEDOM". This makes them so much more vibrant and adds a completely new dimension to their personality. Plus just about any skychick in a jumpsuit...I admit I have to hold back sometimes. I haven't seen you skydive...and I'm just a measly noob, so I can't really compliment you on your excellent flight skills, but you're a skychick so YOU ROCK!!!!!!! And again, shame on your SO for not telling you so. I'd kick 'im in the balls! wait...no. Bad idea. But seriously though, let him know somehow. I'm sure he just doesn't realize it, or maybe he feels like it would come off as condescending? I dunno but I'm sure whatever the reason, it's just a misunderstanding.

jtval 0 #13 May 2, 2003 I compliment alot of people for what I think is commendable. SKYDIVING= commendable! if he doesnt compliment you does he at least go over the jump with you and try to learn from/ teach you? that IS a compliment in an unspoken form! (i know its not quite the same) but if he has more experience and he's teaching you then he cares enough to wanna see you get better and enjoythe skies with you! if you have more experience and he's learning form you then he may feel you dont want a compliment from some one youre teaching? either way...WE are all rocks! I mean we all rock! My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy2 0 #15 May 2, 2003 just sit him down and talk to him one afternoon, calmly and peacefully. Don't act hurt or offended, he will respond in a less than desireable way. If he truly does care about you then he will respond to your requests in a mature and loving way. One more question, do you tell him he rocks, or he kicks ass, etc? Maybe he's just as hurt as you are that he gets no verbal loving at the DZ. TALK. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

GumbyGirl 0 #18 May 2, 2003 We had a little discussion. He said he'd try to be more complimentary. And yes, I tell him he rocks all the time. We both have around the same # of jumps... between 700-900. I guess it's not a huge deal that he doesn't say it, coz he shows it. But it would be nice. It's a good thing I'm a secure person. Thank you all for the support. It's nice to know that the love is out there, even it I don't get to hear it one of one from my guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biscuit 0 #20 May 2, 2003 Hey, My boyfriend is kind of the same way. I am perfectly comfortable asking leading questions however, ie "Aren't you so proud of me" or "Don't these booties make me look cute" and if he doesn't seem to be getting the message I just come right out and tell him I'm a badass and he needs to worship me for a while.

wmw999 2,439 #24 May 4, 2003 If he can't find anything to compliment her on, then he probably ought to re-evaluate why he's with her. If he only can't find anything to compliment her on in skydiving, then either she's dangerous, or he has an ego problem. It's not a competition -- even if she just has a really great attitude or has a lot of fun while she goes and does lousy RW, that's worth complimenting. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
