MichaelMoore 0 #1 January 17, 2008 I would like to know how many guys out there have met women they’ve ended up dating at the dropzone. It seems like a rather tough challenge given the very small amount of female jumpers in our sport. Not to mention most of them appear to be seriously involved with someone already. If you were successful, what was it that set you apart from the other skygods at your dz? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fastphil 0 #2 January 17, 2008 I met mine there. We were both serious jumpers so we had no ties off the DZ. What set me apart was a quick swoop and kiss pass on a formation dive that wasn't building anyway... oh yeah, she was a Skygoddess anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauraliscious 0 #3 January 17, 2008 I met my BF at the Dublin boogie last year. He swooped me up because he WASN'T a skygod. While the skygod mentality may impress whuffo girls or tandem students who hang out at the DZ, it's my experience that it doesn't usually impress female jumpers. But maybe that's just me. Anyway, what set him apart was that he came and steam rollered me in my tent but didn't try to take advantage of me. At least not at first. It also helped that we have a mutual friend who had always spoken very highly about him. He was just himself and I liked that. Good luck! I know there is a great gender disparity in this sport.

councilman24 37 #4 January 17, 2008 I ment my second to last girl friend. And my WIFE! (two different people and yes my wife is my current girlfiendWe have one instructor who made a career of dating past students, and married one. At one point there were 2 other women, him and his wife, and me and my wife standing in a group. (4 women and 2 men) He had dated 3 of the women, not my wife, and I had dated two of the women (including my wife but not his). Then my previous girlfriend and my wife proceeded to sit down and have an hour long conversation! They knew each other from the DZ. We had at least a couple of other DZ weddings over the years. It's was worse than peyton place. We did have one jumpmaster who used to ask students out in the plane during their first jump. I guess his wife couldn't hear him there. We put an end to that as soon as we could. If your throwing static line students there around the DZ long enough to know who you are and are very thankful you saved their life. But I never dated a student. Only experienced jumpers. Dude, your at the wrong DZ! I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #6 January 17, 2008 No, you smell an asshole! He had a drop dead gorgous wife who was a sweet heart and he cheated on her constantly with any thing he could find. Essential coerced students in the plane to give him their phone number. And eventually looked like he had plague from all the drugs he was doing. He dropped out of sight and don't have a clue if he's dead yet. He should be from the crap he was doing. Same asshole who bragged to his buddies that he could sign my name on a packing data card better than I could. I'm old for my age.

mamajumps 0 #11 January 17, 2008 My boyfriend is a skydiver, we didnt meet at the DZ, but skydiving is what brought us together. Like Lauraliscous, I dig him because HE DOES NOT have the skygod mentallity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSHusky 0 #12 January 17, 2008 I didn't meet my boyfriend at the dropzone but rather at a dropzone related event at ohio state. I liked that he wasn't a skygod as well. He is always willing to learn and when the dz manager said he needed work on his tandem videos, he didn't get upset rather he asked people for help and advice. There wasn't one night or anything that won me over. We had similar personalities and things just seemed to be so natural. As a side note, before I met my boy, I told myself that I would never date a skydiver again. In my experience, male skydivers are often skygods (probably to impress the ladies) and are almost always openly horny... I am aware that not all skydivers are like this... hence why I am dating Scott. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't blame them for being superior to everyone...but you can aviod them with much ease. sounds like you may have found a better skydiver after you denounced God.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #14 January 17, 2008 Well, there I was. I had just finished my second AFF jump, and I remember thinking OMG my instructor is SO HOT. But I totally shouldn't date my instructor, should I? But my god, he's a skydiver he's so hot. Then this other guy came up to me at the bonfire that night and he said "you don't want to date your instructor because he's a total dog and he sleeps with all the new chicks and then dumps them as soon as the next hot chick comes along." He was so totally cool and he didn't even try to get into my pants and said that as soon as I was finished with AFF he would give me free coaching. I thought that was totally cool. Then the next day, it was kind of cloudy so I couldn't do my level 3 because the clouds were only at 4,000 feet but the swoopers were still doing hop and pops and the guy who talked to me at the bonfire was out there and I saw him. I asked around about what they were doing and the manifest girl told me and I was like wow, that is so totally amazing. Swoopers are so hot. I have to date a swooper. And right there, I was totally hot for a swooper. I couldn't believe it. Like one minute, I'm in love with my instructor, and the next minute, there's a totally hot swooper who's going to coach me for free when I'm done with AFF. So then that night I got completely wasted at the bonfire because I was so bummed I didn't get to jump that day and I ended up hooking up with one of the guys who was in my AFF class. I was so fucking embarrassed, I mean, he was a total newbie like me, and didn't even stand up his first landing and no one at the dropzone even knew who he was or talked to him. I went back the next weekend to do my level 3 but all of a sudden the swooper guy was all over me like I was gonna hook up with him that night too. I mean, what the fuck? I did, but damn, blow one guy in the packing room and news travels fast. We ended up dating for a while, I mean, not really dating because like he totally doesn't want a girlfriend and I'm okay with that, but hooking up and all that. I did graduate AFF, but he's always so busy getting ready for his swoop competitions that it's hard for me to finish my coach jumps. So I mostly just hang out at the DZ and watch him. It's been a couple summers now. Maybe one of these days I'll get my A license."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

windcatcher 0 #22 January 17, 2008 I met my hubby first on a local online skydiving forum ( NOT dz.com ) and he offered to drive 2 hours to school to get me so I could jump at his dropzone. We hung out some that day and he paid for my dinner when a whole group of us went out to eat. We talked in his car and from there on out we just decided we really liked each other. We went on our first date a few weeks after that. What set Chad apart was 1.) I first saw a picture of him before I met him and thought he was the hottest skydiver I'd ever seen 2.) He drove 2 hours to pick up a stranger ( though I was a college girl ) 3.) He just really treated me like a queen. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...
