skychick312 0 #1 June 23, 2005 Here is a question that a bunch of skydivers tend to ask...I am a jumper myself and have had one skydiving relationship...What do ya'll think.. Is it better/easier for the relationship to date a skydiver or not? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be the change you wish to see in the world!

ladyskydiver 0 #3 June 23, 2005 Personally, I'd rather date a skydiver. They already understand the sport/risks associated with it and are less likely to have an issue if you wake up...snuggle against them...and say "DZ today, honey?"

jumpergirl 0 #7 June 23, 2005 I've had a few serious relationships (including marriage) with skydivers. I have had a few relationships with non-skydivers. I choose jumpers over non-jumpers simply because I like to share my passion (and they seem to be more understanding, for the most part).

How about ex-jumpers? I understand the risks involved, but, I don't jump so more money for you to jump. I'm already jumping someone. But, to answer your question, I'm not sure I would want an ex-jumper. I mean, I wouldn't want to start dating someone who doesn't jump anymore. I would rather he be an active jumper when we get together. What happens later can be delt with later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jumpchikk 0 #12 June 23, 2005 I would rather date a jumper. My weekends are primarily spent on a DZ somewhere and it would be nice to jump with my man and then be able to cuddle up with him afterward. But, also I don't want it to be the glue that holds us together. During the week, he's gotta be a freak with me...
