Is your SO a Skydiver or Whuffo?

[IMGR2 0]

Seeking opinions. I am in a dilemma. I am six months out of a relationship with a skydiver. I can't seem to figure out if I want to date another skydiver or not. We both jump at the same dz and it feels awkward for me. I want to date someone that I can spend most of my time with which would include skydiving but now I question that, just for the reason that if it doesn't work out with the whuffo then atleast I won't have to run into her at the dz. Everyones thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Do I have to have an SO to vote?

Just follow your heart. If you meet someone that you click with, and she happens to jump, then great. If she doesn't, that's fine, too. Just follow your heart.

well if you find someone that isnt a skydiver you can always convince them to try it... i'm lucky, my bf is all for gettin his license this summer so i'm excited, he realized that it was a big part of my life and he wants to get involved,

The SO doesn't jump and while it can cause a little friction at times it's good to have something that I do away from her that is purely for me. I call it me time.

All I got to say is goooooood luuuuuck!!!! choose wisely, otherwise when the breakup comes it becomes very tense at the dz ....... the fun goes out of everything there.....and if you are like me, you move across the state and get another home dz, but its never quite the same.......

Since I don't have a SO currently I will comment on my last 2. Which were both skydivers. The first I started skydiving with and the second I met on the DZ.

I almost don't want to date whuffos in the summer cause I don't feel the need to explain why I spend every weekend at the DZ and not with my city friends or Camping or something else.

Then you need to get a job at the dz so you have a good excuse and alibi.

Good Idea! My Coach ! rating will be done at the end of the month and I am about half done my instructors training so I will have the alibi all lined up.

then I may need to explain the need to travel south in the wintere...

Four and a half years together. About 2 years ago he and I decided to skip the Mexican vacation and get him into and me back into skydiving. Now we jump at least two weekends a month in good weather and he's become an active base jumper as well.

It's a nice thing to do with someone you love.

My SO has made 2 tandems and has enjoyed both of them very much so; however she does not want to peruse skydiving beyond tandems and maybe some day a few AFF jumps just for the accomplishment of it. It’s cool though, she’s met some people at the DZ and thus does not get so bored when I’m up, and she does wants to make more tandems, just when ever the time and money is right. Were going out of town soon and I’m going to hit up some DZ’S, she has expressed interest in making another tandem because it’s been a while (she definitely has a very mild bug) and just jumping at different locations (scenery, the coast) has her kind of excited. She listens to my stories, watches my videos and knows quite a bit about gear. Don’t let this fool you though she often hurls “you love skydiving more then me”, “if only I was your rig I could get your full attention”. All in all it works well, hehe just today she reminded me to set my clock foreword on Saturday (I had no idea it was that time again) and she immediately noticed my face light up and said “yes yes Neil one more hour of jumping light”.

This is such a major part of my life I cannot imagine not having my SO share it with me.

my SO is on the cusp so to speak.. she made two jumps about 9 years ago with her ex, then one more with me when i did my first a year and a half ago. this year, i talked her into pff, so i'll make a skydiver out of her yet!

My SO happens to be none other than the lovely FallinWoman. she is grounded due to illness...BUT...she's still a skydiver. we like to do more than be "just" skydivers though. we enjoy other things and that helps life so much for us. today we have the 5$ challenge scheduled....should be fun.

My SO is a whuffo but bless his heart, he knows how much it means to me. Some days when I don't even plan on going to the DZ he'll just look at me and tell me to get my ass to the airport. Otherwise I'll just be staring at the sky all day wishing I was there. Just make sure she knows how much this means to you and then if it doesn't work out you can always come up to SA and jump with us!

My SO is a WHUFFO!!! I threw him out (of a plane) one time and now he insists on wearing a closing pin necklace. I've tried to explain to him that he's not qualified for it, but he refuses to listen.

My wife does not jump, but before we got married I told her "If you ask me to stop jumping you are asking me to leave!"

It works great I leave for the DZ on Saturday AM and come back Sunday night. She has lots of relaxing time away from me.

Ok Rat, I will abstain from commenting on a public forum. If you want my opinion, call.

We are both skydivers. We met two 1/2 years ago just after I graduated AFF. I know there have been arguments over jumping w/ your S.O. but I am 100% all for it in my case. We LOVE jumping together, and I have learned so much from him. I am very fortunate to have my own personal trainer on every jump.

We try to jump every weekend and he does video at the DZ as well as competes in swooping. We wouldn't ever see each other if we didn't enjoy doing some of the same things, especially something like skydiving.
