 #1 |
Ok, lets hear your reasons 
ill start
When you are flying and fighting a thermal and say "lets go you son of a b****" they don't assume you are talking to them
swapping is completely acceptable just to "try something different"
if you whack it at the finish you are liable to get a standing ovation from your friends
when you are busy its ok to bag it and throw it in the garage for weeks on end

It is socially acceptable to brag about a long solo with your rigid.

And conversely a speed run is also something that can win you bragging rights!

She spreads 'em whenever I want (her wings that is)
She doesn't complain about going on hang gliding vacations
She actually likes it when I buy new gear
She *can* be replaced!
She doesn't mind sharing me with other gliders

| Cuz with flying, the louder the noise, the faster I am climbing. |

You have to master solo before you can go tandem....

It's every woman's fantasy. I can keep it for as long as I like. Seek immediate medical attention after 4 hours of being up ?
I think not

| I think women prefer flying to hanging out with men because in hang gliding, columns of rising hot air are a *good* thing. |

Both you and your wing always finish at the same time.

You can check out other 'gliders' without being accused of anything.

I prefer taking good care of the glider i have so i will not need to trade it in .
of coarse the way i fly my glider would probably want to trade me in for a newer pilot
