well there is really nothing wrong with that. You have to know what you "want" in life. I have a list, right on my kitchen wall. And it's not an impossible list. And yes there is a "body type" listed. But who has the right to walk in look at my list or any ones "list" and start making changes or start judging what makes me or any one happy? Thus why I just tell those who have the audacity to even suggest or criticize to go pound salt. And to the OP I highly suggest the same thing. After all what are you going to do if you do lower your standards or "adjust" your wants and needs and after a few years you realize that you are unhappy? Then who do you blame? Yourself for lacking the will to stand up for what you believe in or your family or friends who pressured you?

PAH ... depends if 'shes' prepared to lower her standards I've seen it on both ends. But I have to say women do it better than we guys can. I know two women who were and are still rather attractive. But life threw them a bit of a twist, and a little of this a little of that a two year long fling with a "tool" a little one pops out aforementioned tool skips town and well.....suddenly the girl who was once very picky and only dated guys of a given "look" are now looking at guys of a given "stability" if they can provide good father material. Hell it can happen with out kids. I know of another woman who had this, "adjustment" due to what I can best describe as "baby fever". Suddenly it wasn't looks were out and his ability to "donate" was in. So if a guy is in the right place at the right time....and he's willing to pick up a bit....you could in theory do well. But don't think about it too much, never look at relationships as transactions or equations because once you start seeing things that way.....there is no way back from it. Yet on the same note, I would not recommend lowering or adjusting your standards to meet other peoples desires for you.

NICE! Vulcans are a heck of a fun ride! Enjoy! Just don't forget to wear protective gear. Sweat is temporary skin loss is for life.

This is why I love my friends at the DZ. None of them any any one at any DZ would ever suggest anyone friend or other "settling". After all if you aren't happy and are not with someone who makes you want to wake up every morning and make them a cup of tea or a pot of coffee.....why live? And it's not about looks, it's about the total package. Who wants to be stick with a partner who doesn't in a way make them happy.

i get the same very large steaming pile of monkey crap from my married friends and some of my family. My favorite line thus far has been "Shah you should really lower your standards, so she has a kid or three or isn't the two piece bikini kind of girl, you are 34 maybe you should maybe rethink of what you want in your life." As what I say? I tell them either thank you or just tell them point blank to go pound salt. It's your life, you should never "lower your standards" just because others have. I know I'm not going to.

You friend me and look what happens! What next you are going to start buying dance and trance music? Every year I had one, read one book per month....which never works. This year? 1) Smile more. I really need to do that. 2) Downsize from a 260 to a 210 ( I weigh 180)

Thus why my friend stated money is an means to an end and not a means in it self. So money won't buy you love, but it will put you in a really good place so that maybe love can find you. And that could be the love of the world, of adventure or....other. But you know you can get lucky. I was. I did. I can say all i want about my x wife but one thing I will say is that she was never a money hungry girl and was very happy just getting a little gift when I came back home from one of my business trips. But I think she was the exception to the rule. Sadly over the past year of dating and looking around....I have to say one of the best things I ever did was furthering my education so as to get a better job and maybe make some more cash because I don't think I will be lucky twice. But you know, as sad as it sounds from the view of the guy with being under the pressure of either looking rather good (which I don't think I do) or making sufficient money to look good.....I have to say I'm glad I'm a guy in this exchange for I have two options. Look good or make good money. Sadly no matter how well off a woman is, we guys well.....let's just say you can't push rope. And in an odd way time works in the favor of your average guy. We make more we become more solvent and look better on paper. Sadly on average, the same can't be said about how time treats women.

I had to write a paper early in my graduate education as to why I wanted an MBA. I almost wrote something very similar. Something on the level of "I want to be make enough monty to live the life of Barney Stinson" my mentor after reading it said perhaps I should reconsider my "reasoning for being enrolled. My friends thought it was a good giggle and sadly in a very sad way.....well.....you are right. Such is life, as a friend once said....money isn't an end to it self rather it is a means to an end . And that end could be getting a rather attractive life partner to think you are worth the time or.....living a life that is worth the time.

I was smart enough not to have kids. But it will be more than that in the end. I'm looking at another $10k to remove her name off the loans. As a well to do older gentlemen I met once at a roulette table once told me, "Marriage is a suckers bet for men, at best you break even at worst you loose your faith in humanity. And only a sucker would take that bet." Should have listened to the guy. From the looks of his watch and the very attractive 25 yo size 00 Russian chick at his side, I think he had figured life out.

I don't know...I was jumping a 280 and then a 260 and my chunky but is 190lbs. And given enough hang on and pull I could get both of those fat birds to carve. You can give it a shot if you like, it worked for me but it took me hanging off one of the front risers and really leaning to one side to get it to work at speed. Now slow deep brakes there you can "fly" with your ass. But that being said, your landing looked better than most of mine! You looked like you were having fun!

A friend asked me the other month what going through a divorce felt like. I said "Imagine being asleep, and all of a sudden a cinderblock is dropped on your face and after you are done screaming bloody murder trying to figure out why the hell someone dropped a cider block on your face someone gives you a bill for $5k." Sadly I have to agree with the OP. Dating has been interesting but there is no way in hell I will ever get married again. Them bitches be nuts! Between their baby fever "MUST HAVE KIDS NOW!" to the carbon fever "MUST HAVE ROCK NOW!" Yeah thanks but no thanks!

"Shah money isn't an ends to it self, it is a means to an end. And what ends you get will be well worth the means by which you got there...." Look there is no difference between this girl in this picture or the 6 or so ladies in the last Yoga studio i visited where all of them were sporting rocks just a bit smaller than my Alti. I'm sure the loved the guy.....but I'm sure they love him a little more after he placed a $20k ring on her finger. Now again, before I get screamed at and called all kinds of names. This statement holds water with the "average" person. You may be smart enough to be outside of the norm. In which case more power to you. But we are talking about "average" social norms.

well as a total n00b with all of 10 real pack jobs to his name, I have to say material control is a major issue for new guys. Since we are jumping things that are about twice the size of what most of you seem to jump material control is very different for us than guys who have thousands of jumps. And I have to say compared to the propack this psycho pack provides a level of material control that takes a season or two to develop. But that being said one major issue, unlike the usual propack this Psycho pack does mean that the n00b needs to pay great attention to their pilot chute. More than once I noticed that after packing I had to recheck my pilot chute to make sure it was cocked.

You know you are lived when.....yor parents get you nothing that fits and nothing that is your style and they get your birthday wrong........but fear not my next door neighbor who I've only known for about a few months really got me something nice.

NYC unless you could get huge money ($50mill +) would be a very difficult sell. But Hoboken and Newark with their proximity to the city and mass trasport would do rather well. The general population in those two cities is younger and the medium income is significantly higher than most of the US. IF (and that is a huge freaking IF) you could get a plot of land that looks on to the city and finance a build of a single 4m closed system tunnel that has a view of NYC, as in you can fly your tourist head off while looking at the evening lights of NYC, and if you could diversify your income with say a 200 person capacity bar on the roof....and a large van running in and out of NYC bringing in tourist into and out of the city for their times......well at that point write your own check. Think about it, you are a tourist, hell you are a freaking local making $100k a year (which is what the average person makes in that part of NJ) and you had a choice, go to your local bar for your birthday with you 10 closes friends OR fly for 3 minutes for $60 (not including tip!) and see this! http://www.awesomephotographyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/NYC_at_Night_with_The_Empire_State_Building_Shining_Bright_Green_on_Tax_Day_09-04-15.jpg And then join your friends on the roof at the 777 bar for a Dirty Sky Martini watching the big screens and seeing who was flying? $$$$$$$ Could it be done? Sure, the price of land in NJ is at an all time low. The recent economic slow down had made it hard to fund large scale apartment projects. How much would it cost? Who knows? All said and done maybe $20mill? But I'm told that there are two complete 3m systems sitting in storage which will never be used sitting some where on the docks of Newark. And if you can get approval under a community improvement project sighting you are creating jobs and what not......and the fact that there is a lot of money floating around? It could be done. And it could be very profitable. It would just take one hell of a dedicated project manager and a professional crew of guys and gals on the staff. We are talking uniforms and some serious accounting. But it could be done and you could be in the black in say.....under 5 years. There is disposable income, there is the general population, there are tourists and there are a good number of skydivers.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! That was easy! Look I'm not expert by any stretch of the imagination but I am a total n00b. And well as a n00b, this method of packing was not only easy but repeatable. The folding/ rolling gives the n00b way more material control than the usual two S folds. I was able to pack up my 210 Triathlon with out any mistakes repeatedly and with confidence over commercial breaks!

Congrats and I'm sorry to hear that. My youngest brother just turned 21, I'm 34, a few months back. It was so odd having that not so little dork buying me drinks at the local bar. And I'm sorry to hear about the divorce. No matter how you cut it they suck. Wish you the best.

So I'm on this pilgrimage to find myself a new Yoga studio to call home. Nothing wrong with the one I've been going to for the past 4 years but there is just too many memories there of my X and well....since I was divorced via text message while sitting in the parking lot waiting for class to begin....I just think the place has bad juju. Any how! Long story short so I'm looking for a new place to practice and thus far I have visited 2 different studios. And let me tell you the bling is in effect! Holy mother of god! The last place i went to, very well done, very interesting instructor and the view isn't nice....all women in their early to mid 30's all in great shape and all civilized. And my god....I think of of them has a rock as big as a babies head! I mean talk about advertising your price! And of all things in a freaking Yoga class! WOW! Really! 9 months ago my current and former admins took me out to lunch and asked me I would ever get married again. Then I said yes sure why not.....today after all I have seen no way.....no way in hell! Not that I don't want to but odds of finding a girl who isn't that sure of her price....good luck! Again I speak of averages not out lyres. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

forgo all the presents and just hang with your friends

A men! If you guys ever have the chance to visit a diamond factory check it out. If you saw how much came in and how few actually get used to make bligy stuff and how much get used to make tools...you will giggle your ass off! And look, when we examine or discuss culture we are looking at "averages". If we based our conversations on outliers it would be impossible to discuss a culture. So sadly yes on average, most women look at these commercials who fall for it. Thus why I said I was really lucky with my x wife and your boyfriend is very lucky with you.
