piisfish 140 #1 December 13, 2004 from another thread in the General Skydiving Discussions : Quote4. Never date a whuffo with thoughts of it lasting unless they want to jump! In your opinion, is someone who wants to jump a whuffo ? Even if he never did, and even if he never will.. IMHO this person WANTS to jump, so not a whuffo.. Just a non-skydiver. Like all people who are not gay ARE NOT homophobes, there are also gay-friendly people...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #2 December 13, 2004 Lots of people say they want to, because it makes them look cool. But then when you say, ok, lets go to the dropzone, they find something more important to do. So I voted yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #3 December 13, 2004 A whuffo has no clue and when he does he says " Are you freakin Crazy !"And you calmly say "Yes.Yes I am." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #4 December 13, 2004 If they really wanted to jump and weren't just saying they did... then they would get off their ass and do it. So until someone makes a jump, they are a whuffo in my book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanHarrop 42 #5 December 13, 2004 My ex-wife appeared to be very supportive of skydiving. But I learned, appearances can be deceiving. Now she's my ex-wife and I am back skydiving after a 16 year hiatus. I say if they haven't jumped, they are a whuffo."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #6 December 13, 2004 My wife never jumped, and is averse to the idea. But, she doesn't say "whuffo you wanna jump outta dem planes." She knows very well everything I got from it, my reasons for doing it, and why I will be back in the air again. People who don't put it down, and who accept it and even live vicariously are not whuffos in my book. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #9 December 14, 2004 A LOT of people "Want" to jump, but never get around to it. Hell, how many people have had a friend with a great interest in doing a Tandem skydive, but just never get around to it..... It wishes were horses...... Quote 4. Never date a whuffo with thoughts of it lasting unless they want to jump! I Disagree whole-heartidly!!! I think having a GF out at the Dropzone is harder than having one who has her own interests. Anyways, couples need to express their own interests and hobbies away from each other, I think that is important. I don't think I will ever date a skydiver....=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jib 0 #11 December 14, 2004 QuoteIn your opinion, is someone who wants to jump a whuffo ? Even if he never did, and even if he never will.. There are way too many people who think they'd like to do a lot of things e.g. scuba, surf, ski and never do. I don't think such dreamers will ever understand whuffo. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

happythoughts 0 #13 December 14, 2004 Whuffo: someone who says "whuffo you jump outa da plane?" They cease to be a whuffo when they understand the answer and quit asking the question.

You like her, don't you? I think you should buy her a house. Or, you could date her. Then marry her, stop skydiving and buy her a house. Or you could leave now, with your soul intact, your dreams alive and a future in the sky still possible.

My point was that to me a whuffo is someone who doesn't/can't understand why we jump. Some people can understand even if they never jumped.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pa2themd 0 #18 December 14, 2004 QuoteQuoteIMHO this person WANTS to jump...
