It is very poetic, and I have to give it to you; you have a talent for writing.----------"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he doesn't exist!"

AiRpollUtiOn 0 #29 June 10, 2002 I can tell you one thing, chicks that skydive shouldn't be your target goup. Lived together with one, nasty break up, on speaking terms again...Even did an RW2 with her this weekend.The girl you're looking for can be a whuffo as well, if only she accepts the fact that having a relationship with you implies being alone all weekend (or waiting at the DZ all day for that single minute between landing and packing/briefing/going up again) , and if she accepts the FACT that you'll never have the money nor you will ever feel like spending your money lying around on a tropical beach for 2 weeks roasting like a thanksgiving turkey with all that blue sky over your head.To go even further: maybe a whuffo-chick would be even better, that way one of you has money for unexpected things (like relines and stuff...)My girlfriend doesn't have to be at the DZ every saturday/sunday, if she's there by the time I go to my caravan it's allrighty with me!!! Will jump for beer, bs AiRpollUtiOn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #30 June 10, 2002 Opps.. you got it slightly wrong there Jess...Actual situation:Jessica: "I'm going to spend all my money on skydiving."Your Boyfriend: "I've already spent all my money jumping... I need to get a loan to jump more"Jessica: "I want to go to the next Tunnel Camp"Your boyfriend: "Ok... you hit the tunnel, I'll hit the DZ's in FL"Jessica: "I want to take off work 5 days for WFFC"Your boyfriend: I want to take off work 10 days for WFFC"See.... the truth hurts sometimes If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will....

Jessica 0 #31 June 10, 2002 QuoteJessica: "I want to take off work 5 days for WFFC"Your boyfriend: I want to take off work 10 days for WFFC" That's why I'm flying in somewhere close to Rantoul...so you can get your happy ass back there quick after I have to go home. I think what we have here is proof that skydivers dating skydivers rocks the casbah.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jasmin 0 #33 June 11, 2002 Well you've already read my view on what W.I.F.E. seems to stand for for so many men! (For those who're uninitiated, have a read of my posts). I think its the same as women who go to university.Its very easy for people who're married, or who have been seeing each other for a long time, to get compacent and comfortable, and so they stop growing.When their wife starts doing something that changes the dynamics of their relationship, many can't handle it because they don't want to change.That said, unless a whuffo has a serious weekend obsession it just doesn't work. It may take a few weeks, it may take a few years, but it will happen!

Hmm, it's hard to tell from up on this skychick pedestal, but that looks an awful lot like a scowl. Cease.All right, here's my theory: in relationships where both start as whuffos, but one becomes a skydiver, friction is inevitable. However. Men are less likely to want to deal with orneriness and unpredictability in their womenfolk. It causes fighting and strife. Which leads to divorce.But if a man starts disappearing on the weekend, well, that's not so unusual. How many men the world over spend their weekends and their money on the golf course, or shooting animals, or whatever.I think the gender disparity comes from the fact that women don't tend to HAVE all-encompassing hobbies. And it can kill a man's ego and sense of stability not to have a majority of his woman's attention.That's what I think.Here's to ornery, unpredictable women!
