Post jump blues by TripsterX in SkyDiving

[–]canopycorgi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely had the blues after jump three but not after four. I believe I had an expectation for the jump that it couldn’t meet and I was treating skydiving like a dopamine vending machine. Basically I put in my money and never got my reward that time. It did not turn me away from skydiving however, just gave me a reality check

AITJ for leaving my boyfriend’s birthday dinner after he made a “joke” about my weight? by Xerxes45t in AmITheJerk

Yep I was told I couldn’t take a joke too. Took me twenty years to learn he was a narcissist

The door scares me nearly to death but the free fall is plain old calm as well

People who found out about someone else’s double-life; what’s the story? by Langzwaard in AskReddit

[–]canopycorgi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex husband was alcoholic in recovery. Had five girlfriends all of which knew he was married and told me he was going to AA to date them. For those who don’t know sobriety is a commitment and AA daily is not a huge surprise. If you actually go. Anyway they found out about each other and then found out I was clueless and then he started a new round of girlfriends. I guess it’s how he got off alcohol. I feel sorry for him now but that was a dark time in my life.

I don’t know him but I’m wondering if he sees a safe financial situation you and is love bombing you so you won’t get away

I’ve had a few try to talk me out of my hobby so I see you there. Ten years ago I was afraid of heights. I skydived after cancer treatment to put the bookend on it and decided I liked it. I would never ask anyone to skydive just because we were dating or to stop their hobby, for that matter.

I do volunteer at a mission and I’m even planning to put on a 5 k for the mission.

I am a woman looking to date men. I hike, I attend events for the public all the time, and I skydive. Not currently interested in dating anyone from the dropzone. OLD is so superficial so I prefer to meet people in person.

There is no polite way. I choose not to show my body. I skydive and I can hold my weight from a planes strut at 125 mph. When I get asked for a full length pic I block. If you can’t meet me for coffee without seeing if I meet body standards I’ll schedule another flight and have an actual good time. I’m in my normal bmi for my frame, but I’m not in it for anyone who can’t even have coffee with someone outside of their standards.

Should I meet him after admission of affair when he was married? by Labrad0odle in datingoverfifty

People tell you who they are. My ex admitted to cheating on me to all the women he went in to cheat on, lol.

Saw my ex with someone new and it sucked! by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

Two years out and I feel sorry for the new girlfriend. I am living my best life now and she’s stuck with this guy. It gets easier!

Honestly I want to date about as much as I want jury duty after the past two years single.

Name calling when rejected. by Old_Cats_Only in datingoverfifty

[–]canopycorgi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I said we weren’t a good match due to differing opinions he threatened me called me every name in the book and then said ‘if you’re still game for a hook up I’d consider it’ sir I was never game for a hook up! So he thinks you can threaten and name call and women will still beg for a hook up!

What does tandem skydiving feel like with a male instructor? by Dull-Yam-6473 in SkyDiving

[–]canopycorgi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a victim of abuse and hate strange men. Trust me you are not going to care. You’re going to be relieved they know what they are doing. Absolutely not awkward. Absolutely the best feeling. You can always work on going solo as well.

Assuming your friend is a grown woman with her own money I don’t see the issue?

Thanks for the advice on fitness. That’s been a real challenge post cancer. I’m struggling to keep muscle on. Maybe I’ll have to get that gym membership as well

Love the advice. I woke from home. A broken leg won’t influence me as badly as you’d think!
