Unsupportive relative worker

Recommended Posts

I'm a hardcore FF chick, but my significant other is into RW. He's very unsupportive of my FF and wants me to only do RW. What should i do? Can a FF/RW relationship work? What about if i wanna date a wingsuit flyer? This is so confusing...

:P

Us wingsuit flyers only will play with our own kind. We can be male or female but we will only play with other wingsuit jumpers... we are kind of the "gay" population of skydiving. Sorry, but you are not one of us and can not play with us either!

Although I am willing to work on being "changed" by the right skychick to one of the other sides :)

:D

You should only date other FF people. When I first got into this sport someone told me "FF-RW relationships NEVER work. No exceptions. Nuh-uh. No way." It was very wise advice.

Therefore, if you are married relative worker and your husband secretly orders a suit from Firefly, you might as well call a lawyer the second you find out. It's over over over.

There's a lot to be said for positions where the man and woman are perpendicular to each other......

Plan B is only the fisrt option in a whuffo relationship.
Counseling has a possibility of working if both of you love to fly.
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Here is My opinion, Bias as it might me since i am a hardcore relative worker..... ;)

Your Being a Hardcore FFer is certainly a problem, and right now it is YOUR problem. Your great & loving boyfriend is TRYING his hardest to make you a good, honest, ground-fearing relative worker with all his might. You can change your evil ways, it ISN'T too late - we all can help you. Just look for us in the RW forum.......

I once dated an RW flyer... she even had tunnel time. It did'nt work since I had a Firefly Freefly suit and she could see past her Tony RW suit. It drove a wedge between us with her worrying about me spending all my time on my head and me trying to force her to take up freeflying. Eventually I had to cut her away and I turned to a wingsuit since I was accepted into their community even if the rest of the skydiving community acts like we don't exist.

These Little DZ Dramas a great!!! Even better than those Soap opea things lame chics go crazy for.
My rules of dating are:
A) Never Date a Skydiver
B) Never bring my Girlfriend to my Home Dropzone - I take her elsewhere for her First Tandem.


People at my home DZ don't even know i have a girlfriend - i try to keep my two worlds seperated so i ALWAYS have soemthing to fall back on - ALWAYS :|

Whatever. You know I left YOU because I could tell you had latent wingsuit tendancies. Every time we saw a wingsuit pride parade on TV you would get antsy.

I knew where your heart was. And I will not judge your wingsuit ways. Flock and be free!

GASP! How dare you bring things like that up in an open fourm? :o

I'm just glad that you were able to find some one that is able to tolerate all that flat and stable freefalling stuff after me. I was just faking enjoying RW everytime I did it with you!

Dear Sunshine,

An inter-disciplinary relationship can work, but you both will have to work at it. It's all about compromise. It's only gonna work if one or both of you is open to adding new things to your repertoire.

If you show him that you're willing to learn some basic RW stuff - like closed accordions and kiss passes - then he may be willing to learn some basic freefly stuff - like holding a sit without corking or sliding all over the sky.

Doing rodeos with your SO will bring you closer together, as will hybrids. You could also both learn a bit about CRW and go fly together that way... or maybe work on team swooping?

I don't recommend the wingsuit thing. Flockers are >:(:ph34r:s.
