How come some bars are filled with gorgeous girls and others are empty? Anyone knows the answer?



Those are lesbian bars. Next question. :ph34r:

I was on a plane with a tandem who was giving us all the "I'm so macho... I do all the extreme blah, blah..." line. There was only one girl on the load and he acted surprised that girls jumped.

The girl was doing a h-n-p to test drive a canopy. At 4K, she was in the door. (With her permission) We grabbed her by the grippers/legstraps and threw her out the door, screaming as she left.

I turned to the guy and told him that we just use girls for winddrift indicators. "Dude, you guys are cold." :ph34r:

I'm pretty sure it's because guys are better at just about everything. So, girls do the things that guys don't do so that they don't have competition. Sewing, making dinner, etc.

sweet...I wanna be thrown out as a wind drift indicator....as long as you are paying for my jump ticket...:P

Now as far as the girl to guy ratio, it actually is pretty even if you ask me, because in all actuality there are far less guys that skydive that want a relationship or could actually handle one...or are responsiable enough to have a family...just my two cents though.

Although there are less women coming to jumping courses, I've noticed a pattern that those who do come tend to stick - IOW, the ratio of women starting skydiving and getting a licence is a LOT higher than the ratio of men starting skydiving and actually getting a licence... I don't have exact numbers, but I guess I could look them up at our club.

Hmmm.. maybe they don't want to make us sad?
I remember beeing on the racetrack with my motorcycle for racing instruction, and what the instructor said kind of shocked me.
Women are much better motor racers, because they don't have that guy problem that they have to show off... they just do exactly what the instructor tells them to, and therefore kick the guys asses on laptimes! Guys have a tendency to have to show off "look what I can do"... and that doesn't always translate to good performance.

Now, now. . .we girls could not really handle that. . .we HATE fighting over guys. . .ROFLMAO. . .



i think that can be aranged. I'm sure most guys would agree to date 5 girls at a time :) ;), for the sake of not fighting for us :P



Oof, I dated two girls at once and it had its finer points, but it wore me out. Basically you're busy dating and they get alternating days off. If you want some time to yourself, how do you explain that when they already think you have half your days to yourself? So I picked a different girl who was as good as both of them put together.

But to put it more succinctly, dating 2 or more women at the same time would leave NO time for skydiving, which would be unacceptable! (The one exception would be if you dated all the women on the same nights. So, if you took the twins with the twins out to dinner, movie, and dessert together, then went skydiving the next coupla days, that would be OK. A third woman would break it because triplets never work out, you only have two arms, etc..)

Truth is, most men I know are scared shitless of women who skydive.

The only thing about women who skydive that scares me is gear-checking them. I'm still struggling to find a polite way to move things around to check their chest strap and 3-rings. So inconvenient!

As well they should be!! Skychicks rock and maybe the guys have figured out that we'll kick their collective asses if we deem it necessary!!:P

O.K. I'm not always this bitchy. Been a rough week!

I wouldn't worry about that . . . we don't mind! ;)

guys have balls to do it, girls don't



I would worry if girls had "balls"...Wouldn`t you?

But girls have something far more intense,...Would you carry a baby for 9 months and give birth to him. I think guys would pass out with the first contraction:D...

It sure would be great if there would be more girls in this sport than guys.

...
Thanks;)

I do grappling in martial arts, and a lot of guys say the same thing... "I don't want to grapple with a woman! I might put my hands in the wrong place!"

its silly.

If what you're doing is part of a necessary gear check, (or part of a grappling match), no reasonable woman is going to make an issue of it. I'd rather have my gear checked properly than have someone miss something because they were afraid to put their hand in the wrong place.

we are usually capable of telling the difference between an accidental grab and an intentional grope.

Wow, that line must make you REALLY popular with the chickies!



Yeah, I'm good with the broads. I give the girls at the office a smack on the ass to let them know when they're doing a good job.

AHH! True words of a single man!
If there ever is any ? just ask and ye shall receive enlightenmet from the DALAI LAMA!
The truth is, more men skydive because women have more restraint and self control.
Men have such a thing called testosterone, and if it weren't for the release of skydiving, we would be at home watching porn all day long exercising our god given right of masterb........
oh wait thats just me!

Cuz Girls are skeerd!

or

It is not a socially accepted thing for a girl to do - It's "Not Feminine"

I mean, it's 'cause girls are pu..... oops again.

It's 'cause the girls that DO jump know the power of the pu... Yea, that's better!
