I guess I won't be finding a girlfriend any time soon!

Clicky

Damn. Me either I guess...

Yeah but BASE will get you through times of no Ovarians better than Ovarians will get you through times of no BASE.

and vice versa with man parts...

OMG, this is hilarious!

I wish someone would pass this on to the guys who think being a big fish in a little pond is going to get them laid!!

If I read the article right, that is exactly what will get them laid.....

From the article: "But researcher William Farthing said women prefer high-status males to risk-takers."

I don't agree with this, a lot of high-status guys/gales takes plenty of risks
to stay "in the lead" and keeping the "high-status"....brainsurgeons, corporateleaders etc, they put their neck on the line all the time, just not physically......
I think this researcher better do his homework one more time......

So don't give up so easily pBASEtobe! :)

Dun worry , soon self abuse will become a way of life. A life punctuated with brief moments of glory, featuring a box of kleenex and castrol gtx.(the high performance lubricant) Plus you got buy at least 5l at time.

I think the reporter was referring to "physical" risks as opposed to professional risks. Very rarely do people get killed during a corporate takeover.

I just jump to impress myself

Hm...
According to this article i'm not a women

Dont give up Russell. Women are just looking for a stable guy.

So just dump stable.

or, um, get a bunch of horses...

Actually, I think you and the reporter probably agree.
The very next sentence seems to suggest that possibility:

...second that!
There's a big difference between "the majority of women[/men]" and those you might actually be interested in

 

Damn Russel, I could have told you that ages ago. With my luck I might as well join a monestary, but I'd probably get kicked out within the first hour.

HA HA HA what a great shot...

Ofcourse the girls wouldnt say so,its against their nature...

dont forget:
BASEjumpers are the top of the foodchain,no matter if your a chick or a guy,you can get laid

Ivan,were do you hide all them girls? i seems to rember that your an big "fish"

You obveously need to rent more action flicks

Women generally don't want f*ck crazy people. ;)
Actually, I absolutely don't tell women I BASE. I prefer the word 'parachuting.' It's so much more socially acceptable.

Chutes and Ladders, huh?

SOB style...

Try this website, guys. www.imaginarygirlfriends.com/info.php. It should help.

I particularly like the fact that if you break up with your imaginary girlfriend, she will send you a "perfumed long sobby letter begging you to take her back".

MY GOD MEN ARE PATHETIC!!!!!

I can explain it to you
Then women meet the really cool crazy guy her thoughs are like this: "He's a totally cool one...sexy... i'm certain, it's obviously, any girl immediatelly will jump to his bed! E-V-E-R-Y!...But I'm not like others... I'm a special one. I won't join to that list of "he-had-sex-with"!"
and every girl think that way about him!

So what we'll finelly get?
Girls don't want f**k crazy people.
That's what you said.

That's right, girls don't f**k crazy people. Guys do, because girls are crazy by definition

bsbd!

Yuri.

No, being a big fish in a little pond probably isn't going to get you laid....but if you're a big fish in the ocean, you just might stand a chance!

Hey!!! Mine went nothing like that at all...

Check it!

400ft of freefall!

(No comments about the head-down body position... it's that, or whiplash! )

None of mine have either!

nice pic... ur hot

Leroy, that's the perfect post for the gist of this thread. You can't even see her face, but to us, any girl that jumps off of shit is hot! Not that Jasmin isn't hot, I've never met her, but jumping off of something makes it all that much better... barefoot even!

To girls: Men who jump off of shit are just crazy lunatics who can't hold a job long enough to buy them stuff.

To men: Girls who jump of of shit are hot!

I was once talking to a friend and telling him that's it's probably about time for my girlfriend to start wandering looking for another guy who's more exciting. He said, "But you jump off of stuff with parachutes! That's not exciting?"

I said, "It's exciting to guys. Girls want a different kind of excitment. Excitment to them is coming home from work and finding out their bags are packed because you're going to spontaneously wisk them off to a secluded bungalow at a five-star resort in Cabo where they'll find chocolates and diamond rings on the bed and a man named Jose waiting to give them a full body massage. Meanwhile, your wallet is empty and you're scanning the horizon looking for something to jump off of."

Lou

finally, someone see's further than just the surface of my post.

Thank's

PS... with a bod like that... she's gotta be hot...

 Excitment to them is coming home from work and finding out their bags are packed because you're going to spontaneously wisk them off to a secluded bungalow at a five-star resort in Cabo where they'll find chocolates and diamond rings on the bed and a man named Jose waiting to give them a full body massage.
Lou-----------------------------------------------------


I hate to say it but I have never thought of doing that. Mind if I steel that idea???

Hey now, that's not true for ALL girls... I'm thinking if I were to come home, to find my backpack packed because I'm going to get spontaneously wisked off to a secluded cliff in Norway, camp out in a tent, where I'd find a brand new rig or two on my pillow, would be just great.
Who the hell needs diamonds... what a waste of $$

Now as the Cabo trip does sound exotic and I would have zero complaints, a new Phoenix fly suit along with a Norway trip with a private helicopter can be much more romantic After all, if my man cared about me he would be concerned about me separating the maximum distance away from the walls. Otherwise, our love could be severed like me if I can't track away from the cliffs properly. <--- friend's hot tip on things to say to improve a relationship

You Bet man, You SOBs play a mean game!! But I think I got lots of points, even if i needed more ladders than planned!


Oh yeah, I tried something like that with my 3rd wife. I came into an inheritance, like about 80,000 dollars, back some time ago and she came home from work. I said, "Go pack your bags, I just got a bunch of money from Aunt Jinx and I am set to party." She said, well, should I pack for a warm climate or a colder one?" I said, "I don't care as long as you are gone by the time the pizza gets here."

No, wait, that wasn't the same.

Hm... a while ago one of my friends made me very excited -- he presented a nice set of protection to me -- elbow pads, knee pads and cute helmet

My ex-bf made me very excited -- he said "Could you film me please while I'll been doing some aerials... You can do it good. You can use my cam and helmet."

I'm always exciting of another jumper with whom we're dare to spend some romantic days... near some terminal walls...

Other jumpers... oh... I can talk about it for a long time...

To assume things I've got in my mind -- basejumpers are hell of exciting guys... and gals.

At a long ago Bridge Day a group of us guys are watching Hanna launch a floater off the rail. After she opened someone said as a matter of fact and to no one in particular, "Have you ever met a female BASE jumper you didn't like?" No one replied, but everyone is smiling . . .

BASE jumping "does" get you women.

It got us Hanna, Amy, Anne, Marta, Karin, Karen, and all the rest. And we are all richer from having made their acquaintance . . .

BASE 194

Lika, I got the same present last year ...made me happier than any diamond would!

I'm looking forward to meet you at some terminal wall (e.g. Italy or Norway) - I'm sure will have enough material to talk over!

Mmmm.. check out the surf in the background.. mmm (off to Bali in 6 weeks time).. mmm..

Yeah, what Brits said!

And what I want to know is what 100 people did they interview? It obviously wasn't any of us!

Dork whuffos anyway, pretty stupid story but really cool thread.

C'ya!
K

atleast shortly enough to get laid

Yep...I probably wouldn't even be attracted to a guy or girl that didn't jump...ok, or climb, or something "risky'. It takes a certain type of character to get off on that stuff, and those are the kind of people that captivate me.

BASE will get you laid, even if it's a sponge bath by a pretty nurse.

By the way girls, have you met Russel? He's a hottie!

Peace,
K

 

I love that woman.

well i must admit that my gf didnt even got her skydive licens before she desided to stop(about same time as i broke my leg..hmm ),anyway she still phonecrews me and let me use her car(and gas)to get jumps in...
has been like that for nearly 3 years now.. he he

I'm no BASE-god, but you can't share a house with a BASE jumper like Aussie Jimmy and not do a few jumps!

Just some funny photo-mix Chicks in BASE

http://www.livejournal.com/...s/natuser/34402.html

Hey now - I think i can say for fact that you're stretching the truth there. Unless your kink is people who embody the "risky" behavior of hooking up with BASE jumpers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEXY GAL!!!!

Ha-ha... "Short chicks in red"
http://www.livejournal.com/.../168978.html?#cutid1

From this point of view, I would think they were 11 years old!

Who the hell needs diamonds... what a waste of $$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is very true...buy me some jumps, pack for me a few times and a little massage....that will get you the girls!!!! Keep looking for a chick it will happen trust me good skydiving guys are hard enough to find can't imagine what you are goin through....

But its an easy way to lose one!!!!!!!

Do you think so? Interesting...tell me why...please!

Ha ha, funny!!!!! Get it. . . .. . . . . Ah forget it, I'll stick with my day job.

But since you are serious, I was specifically referring to the common situation whereby a relationship between a male BASE jumper and female non jumper evolves to a level where a greater expectation of commitment has developed. Often, the female partner becomes so emotionally dependant on her male partner (and visa versa), that she develops an underlying fear of cessation of said relationship. She then creates an expectation of total self preservation which may includes such needs as risk minimisation, increasing time commitments, etc. Often the male partner is forced to make a decision between his personal fulfillment needs and the expectaions of his partner. This may lead to either withdrawal from all activities that may compromise his partners fears (such as BASE jumping) or termination of the relationship. Hence, my comment.

No, it was not referring to a chick bouncing or something silly like that.

Stay Safe
Have Fun
Good Luck

and chill out

All the more reason for jumpers to date other jumpers...at least we understand...

blue skies

If only it was that simple. How about being forced to remain single since the ratio of men to women in this sport favors the fairer sex.

Oh but it is that simple...go to a new DZ and find a little cutie...Trust me there are plenty of us that are single, and are so damn cool we jump out of airplanes, off bridges/towers, balloons, helicopters....

Airplanes?

No career in couples counseling for you either. Sheesh! Tom. You're usually brilliant.

Y'know, we all know that it is human nature to be somehow...better...at the beginning of a relationship. Everyone does it, but some do it...more. Still, the signs are always there, if one is not so besotted as to ignore them completely. The woman who made her ex-boyfriend/husband quit bowling because it took too much time that should have been devoted to her/the family is no different than the woman who cries danger about BASE, skydiving, iceboating, you name it. It's not about the risk of the activity, it's about control.

The guy a woman falls in love with comprises all that he does and all that he is--not just certain parts. And unlike his really weird personal habits or strange ideas about the world which never come out until it's way too late, the activities he chooses are right out there in front from the beginning. The change from acceptance to objection is about having grown more confident about one's power to force another into line, not about loving someone.

I know non-skydiving wives who pack for their husbands--and one who even accompanied her husband, cheering all the way, to his first Bridge Day. I know a non-skydiving husband who periodically goes to the dz for the day with his wife. Sure they worry some, but I don't think any more so than the wife whose husband drives in commuter traffic every day.

We protect our children because they are not cognizant of danger, and that is, indeed, loving behavior. As soon as you start treating your lover like a child, though, you need to take a look at yourself and ask yourself why you need that kind of power. And if someone is trying to control you, you need to realize that it will never end with the first thing you give up, because it's not about the activity per se, but about the ability to control what you do and when you do it.

</end lecture> Sorry. This is just one of the last really raw nerves I have.

rl

<rant on again> I am really and truly sorry for being a dead horse beater, and I am not jumping on you, just on the generally accepted assumption that underlies your totally innocent comment.

It has nothing to do with understanding BASE or whatever activity it happens to be. It is about understanding that if you love someone, you don't try to take from them the things that make them happy--even if it means that one day one of those things might take them from you.

You own one life and you control one life--your own. Any other lives entrusted to you are for loving, nurturing, sharing, enjoying, but it is never for you to determine the road those lives travel. It is only for you to be grateful that for at least a time, you were able to share the road.

Beautiful.

Ditto.

I have been completely negligent in not falling in love with you before, Rhonda.

Damn, I love brainy chicks...

You accept people for who they are when you fall for them. If they smoke when you fell in love, you accepted their smoke; nagging wont hack it. And on up the scale to less unimportant factors.

Thank you, Rhonda, for your post. Just my deepest respect.
You made me thinking of your words the entire evening...
How to keep it real is a different question.

The answer to which is this:

You tell the truth, even when it sucks. You face the truth even when it is so painful, you think it will kill you. Small fibs intended to spare feelings tend to turn into huge lies that hurt worse and do more damage than one tiny truth. Worse yet, a truth told after all the lies is never really trusted.

The damage this does is often insurmountable. At the least, it accounts for a lot of yelling and tears and wasted time.

How to keep it real is not complicated, Lika, but it is the hardest of all things to do. And most of us are bad at it.

rl

So true. You start doing this, and after a while you begin to realize that you're less stressed, you sleep better, you're more efficient, you're kinder to the people around you, and they respect your opinion more because they know you'd also tell them if it wasn't nice.

Rhonda for president!

Meanwhile, I'll go back to the bonfire.

You don't have to date another jumper to be ahppy, you just have to date someone who's as much into their hobby and interests as you are. Deosnt' matter if its scuba, rock-climbing, horse-riding, whatever.

As long as you're both occupied enough and don't mind doing your own thing over the w/e's, you tend to get by fine....

Is that an offer???

My dear friend, you have assumed that skychick was only talking hetero. There's lots of spunky blokes out there!!!!

It was just an observation of other people. I don't necessarily think like that.

I would have 2000 BASE jumps now if I didn't have a wife and two adorable little kids.

It was not so much a sacrifice as a change in commitment. And it is my choice.

One thing certainly happens. As you Progress from single to married to children, the level of pressure from your partner and family increases wrt to your involvement in activities which are perceived as risky.

p.s. I can't do marriage counselling anyway. I have not been divorced yet. Isn't that on of the prerequisites?

You're such an ass-kisser Dennis.

I know your m.o. You Navy boys are all the same. A girl in every port, right? Soften them up and then move in for the kill. Good luck.

My m.o. is every port on every girl...


Ms Kirk is as full of shit as an Indian toilet. I doubt she even knows any BASE jumpers.

I can testify that due to BASE and BASE alone, I have seen more ass than Charmin. Chicks dig guys with large marbles and scars.

The whole emotional thing is purely secondary..ie "fuck, I'm happy to be alive after that 180...let's get it on..."

None of you have me fooled.

You've been locked up with the dogs too long, m'love.

I don't think it's me who's constipated. ;) And Tom did mention in another thread he thought you're going to 'splode.

Next time Dennis gets to DeLand, we'll have a beer in your honor. Then, if it pleases you to send pictures of the large marbles and scars, we'll endeavor to line up some ports for you.

Hugs n orifices,
rl

Now there's a nugget.

Whew. For a minute there I didnt think Rhonda realized I had asked her out. Now Im hooked for a beer in Florida...plus some really good...um...conversation.

Poor Skinflint. Those nude girl photos NOT showing up in E-mails anymore? No???

Next time I get through Skincinnati there is a mandatory jump coming, Jase, currency or not. Excuses which dont work: my wife said I cant go. Excuses which work: my wife said I cant go.

How sweet!

I, however, have never asked a chick out without her realizing it. We gotta hook up soon brother. You need some help.

I'll take you to a titty bar and show you what a womans breasts look like.

Did you get left on guard duty when the boat came home?

A flick is long overdue...next time you're north on I65 we'll talk...about why you're still a virgin.


PS I've heard RLK only falls for REAL men. You may wanna work out...not just your right arm, too.

careful skin... ya might impress the mole people again....

I thought you told me you've never asked a chick out--you know, they just kinda swarm around like angry bees and haul you off?


Just take off your bra, dear.


<sigh> Someone once said to me, "You have weird friends." I suppose that's generally true, but you are the capstone of my career.

We're way off topic now, and you've only just gotten out of jail. Please go mangle another thread, before Tom feels compelled to revoke your parole.

These have been two very boring weeks on this board--and I'd prefer not to live through two more like them anytime too soon.

rl

Yes, yes skinny,

I imagine there is not a single girl youve asked out who didnt know it...the check out girl at the pie shop, the orthodonists receptionist, half the women at Jenny Craig's weight loss, the technician at the electrolysis clinic, the wig fitter at the Hair Club for men, or even Tom Aiello. A girl always knows it when she has to get a restraining order after all. Calling the police on a peeping tom does require more than her breasts...

Making fun of my new girlfriend is a mistake for two reasons. One, she's smarter than you. And two, if your mom finds out youre using her computer again, you'll go without dessert. But that might be a good thing....

ps. Thanks for the PM. Um...No. I wont hold your hand for a quarter...
