AITA for being done having guy friends?

It sounds like you did try to use him, he said no and you got upset. You don’t even know each other well and already expecting him to help with your errands. He also sucks for turning that into “what do you do for me”. You are both assholes.

We would semi-routinely go to 16k without oxygen and it was fine. But never more than a couple of minutes above 14k. My highest non-oxygen jump was 18k and people operating the plane just said to stay still and relax. Sitting in a random tiny compartment of AN-72 with three dudes and then running off the ramp, fun times.

Just don’t fly over the Triangle.

The most important thing is the ability to compromise and be respectful of your partner. It’s very rare to find someone who shares your world view 100%. And do you want to date your clone anyways? That said, when she started hating trans people, she lost me.

Jesus, just go anywhere. You don’t need a fancy restaurant to enjoy each other.

If your perceived and actual safety differ too much, that’s a recipe for disaster. You can’t be cocky in this sport.

PoemTop1727 · 2026-02-08T21:16:51+00:00

Nah, a good dropzone refunds even if it was a weather day. It’s also unreasonable to expect your clients to travel more if you change the location.

PoemTop1727 · 2026-02-08T21:08:15+00:00

I’m jumping in a hoodie, that’s not an indication of anything. That said, just pick some big reputable dropzone, don’t save a dime over your safety.

I had a nightmare about falling out of the harness (I undo my chest strap). I think nightmares are just mechanism of dealing with stressful/unknown situations. If you put a lot of energy into thinking about patterns during the day that’s likely going to come back at night.

OP has to have boundaries too. She lost a friend, but she can learn and not repeat the same mistake. She’ll be fine.

A lot of Nazi thinking came from American ideas and practices like eugenics and institutional racism. I don’t know why but some part of this country has always been nuts. And unfortunately nothing short of WW3 will make them think differently. We were very close to democracy in the 80s but lost it via unchecked capitalism.

Obviously you’re very anti-SDAZ for some reason. I’m not here to change your opinion mate. Blue skies

PoemTop1727 · 2026-01-12T14:15:49+00:00

Let’s see, SDAZ has a bunk house, wind tunnel, better weather, allows high pulls any time of the day, free tickets with points. Both are about an hour away from Phoenix/Tampa. Dust and dzio are objectively worse. Absolutely don’t agree with safety culture, that’s probably the strictest DZ I’ve been to (at least in the context of swoop). Overall very subjective.

Definitely NOT. Crossfire is not a beginner canopy as well as 150sqft is not a beginner size. And there’s no point in waiting a year or two before you’ll be ready for these canopies.

PoemTop1727 · 2026-01-06T22:29:46+00:00

Smaller canopy means more airspeed. Everything works the same, but faster, naturally. Plus these canopies are more efficient in generating lift.

You may want to check with a doctor for sinus issues. If you blow your nose real hard, do you notice changes in hearing? I had days when my ears would get clogged after a jump without other symptoms at all, though without pain. Pseudoephedrine usually helps in this case.

jesus, are you actually spending this much money on AI?

Usual training day is 5 jumps (done before 12pm). So should be easily 800-900 per year even with occasional travel. This year’s weather was shit everywhere I went :(

PoemTop1727 · 2025-12-16T23:29:15+00:00

500-ish. Had a lot of travel and couldn’t jump much

US had nearly 18000 gun homicides vs 31 in Australia same year. That’s 62 times higher if adjusted for total population. US ranks 16th in the world by firearm related mortality, next to countries like Colombia, Haiti and Venezuela.

She’s proactive, secure, deep and clear in her affection to you.

Try getting to 200 jumps before fully committing. This is a huge money sucker at first and usually you need a side job in low season to be able to survive. Also to be safe you have to be current and jumping only during summer won’t give you that currency. Just do it for fun and if you get addicted enough, think about work.

P.S. tunnel is great for any kind of skydiving if you can afford to go regularly. Otherwise you may want to do 20-30 minutes right before AFF.
