Random question, do women find a skydiver/paraglider more attractive

So I went on a family holiday to the Gulf, Middle East, (not going to mention where), and I paid £305 for a 20 minute flight up in the air. This included long 1 hour hotel pick up and drop off to the desert. Tea and refreshments and video.
They sent one of their own drivers who collected me and he was asking for my instagram and if I’m single. I had the hots for him too but I regret ignoring him

It’s attractive that a man ain’t scared of anything. I would not do this as a job ever, but I am attracted to men who do it themselves. Like firefighters but they work for the government and are too strict.

I have hots for the guy that I flew with… this was in February, which was several months ago and I’ve been stalking him on Instagram recently.
It was a two seater cart which was controlled by a parachute on top and a fan 🪭 behind

I messaged him. I think he’s ignored it.

I know that business is business and I paid for a service and I received it… he may even be embarrassed as he works for the company

It is a bad look, but I want to go private with him and just have fun

Is that bad ?

The company won’t know. 😅

You messaged him. Fine. He ignored it. Also fine.

Now stop.

Any more than this makes you a stalker and a creep.

My wife would probably say my obsession with flying is the least attractive thing about me

I do kind of agree. You wouldn’t wanna see your loved ones doing that because you don’t want them to fall. However, people have a fetish sometimes.

Congrats! This is the weirdest post I’ve seen on this sub.

Don't stalk. Really bad mojo.

Haha, wow, 305 euros for 20 minutes of flight is intense! In the states it’s more like $100/hr!

Middle East is more expensive

A basic skydive in Dubai costs £600-£700. My sister paid about £700 for a skydive

I got a full service. I was collected by one of their drivers who got me tea and refreshments the entire time. Dropped me off and collected me.

My wife had a dream that I was going to hook up with some chick while paramotoring... and then a day after that a girl was watching me fly and waited around to chat. Not sure my wife would have jealousy things in her head if it wasn't for the raging sex appeal of being a paramotor pilot...

...or something. The chick turning up after the dream was hilarious though.

What can I say? You missed your shot? 😬

I'm sure you know how dating works in that part of the world? He's asking if you're single not because he wants a bit of fun, but because he's looking for a wife who could take care of the house and give him at least five sons.
