skycat 0 #52 April 13, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuoteNo way, people who don't skydive are shitheads. And ex-skydivers? Barely human. What about ex-skydivers that are still riggers. That's gotta be right down there with algae....or fungus. I think that depends on if they pack for you (for free) or not. Hell, free repacks and shows up to the DZ to be your pack bitch. Damn X-skydiving riggers need to earn their keep. (fyi...I'm dating an x-skydiving rigger so I can say that)Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huka551 0 #54 April 13, 2005 My husband has only made 2 tandem jumps in the last 3 years, so far he is supportive of me jumping, but I know he gets bored when I'm away. I think dating a non-skydiver can be done, it just depends on the patience, trust and support from the wuffo. If they ever want you to choose, I don't know a single skydiver that would choose their rig over their SO Muff Brother 3723 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airdvr 210 #57 April 13, 2005 I just have to chime in on this one. 2 marriages later and a number of LTR's I can state without a doubt jumpers and non-jumpers don't mix well. Something has to give. My 1st wife hated it so I cutaway. 2nd wife dreaded it so I stopped for 10 years...big mistake. In the end I ended up a divorce statistic anyways. It scares the hell out of most non-jumpers and I have to believe its even harder for women jumpers because I think most guys can't handle that they're women do something that takes more balls than they have.Please don't dent the planet.

goose491 0 #58 April 13, 2005 I used to think anything was possible, relationship-wise. Since Heather and I broke up, I've converted. IMO, today there is barely a f*cking chance at a meaningful relationship between two people anyway. Add skydiver/whuffo tension into the blender? Next to impossible. The whuffo has to become somewhat involved... at least educated to the point where he/she understands. The skydiver has to find out what makes the whuffo tick (if anything... It seems some people just simply... exist) and develop a slight interest... it's only natural, sh*t won't work unless you understand what drives your partner. Of course you can't call 'em whuffos anymore if they don't ask the question "Whuffo you jump from dat der airplane fo?" right? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Vallerina 2 #61 April 13, 2005 QuoteHey all ya'll is it possible for a skydiver to have a successful relationship with a non-skydiver? Yes. It's like many other things in life...I dated someone who likes to ride motorcycles. I liked to tag along, but I don't ride them myself. I like to bellydance. It will be extremely difficult for me to find a guy that likes to do that. It's okay if you have a hobby that a significant other doesn't partake in.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrunkMonkey 0 #63 April 13, 2005 Apples and oranges. The difference is that if you spend a lot of time at a DZ, date a jumper, and the shit hits the fan, you're stuck hanging around them afterwards. Jumping is usually location dependent (DZ). This forces you to be around them if you want to keep jumping. Not so with most other activities. I don't know many non-jumpers that hang around DZs after breaking up with a jumper they were dating. It's the difference between being forced to be around the person if you want to continue your hobby, versus having freedom from them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goose491 0 #65 April 13, 2005 QuoteApples and oranges Uh-huh. If you had an Apple Orchard and an Orange Orchard seperated only by a fence, this thread basically demostrates that the one performing best will be the one you are not currently standing in. "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." They say. Since we are talking about relationships here, I'd have to elaborate on that and say: "The grass is always greener, where the dogs have been shitting." My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

All I can tell you was that when we were there Feb of last year, it had a narrow doorway, one window overlooking the street, a bar to the right of the dining area in a separate room, and I recally it being decorated mostly in muted reds and yellows. *hoping eeneR pops in here soon with details*Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
