SJC2008 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 A few girls ago, the one I was crushing on bad and posted about didn't want to go on any rides (except the ferris wheel) at this place we were at and also there was a tank with small sharks and sting rays and she didn't try to touch any of them. Mind you little kids were and those rides weren't rull scale six flag rides either. Anyway, I had another date with a woman at a place very similiar and she didn't want to ride the roller coaster nor did she try to touch any of the stingrays. It's very safe, they are so used to people they come up to the wall and look for food and you can touch them. Not going on rides and not doing something as simple as that seems to be a turn off for me and I'm thinking "WTF are you for real, sheesh", I'm almost to where I feel like making it a deal breaker as dumb as it sounds but I won't becasue how often are you gonna go on rides and pet fish lol but do yall see what I'm getting at??
MrCastle Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I'm not too big on rollercoasters myself so that wouldn't bother me. If we're talking about someone who isn't adventurous in general, yeah that can be a little bit of a turn off. If she doesn't want to pet fish, take her somewhere else where you can pet her fish 1
Author SJC2008 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't call my self adventerous, he'll there are some roller coasters I wouldn't get on. I don't know if prissy is the right word but like I said it's very safe and of course there are hand washing stations. Little kids do it all day long. They swim right up to the wall and there heads are even a few inches out of the water so if you can't even touch one for a split second it just tells me you have a stick up your ass.

Balzac Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Fear hmmmm, dated two women who had motion sickness issues on certain rides.
madjac74 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin, was killed by a sting ray! That would be enough to give anyone second thoughts! I was at an aquarium where they let you touch horseshoe crabs. I refused...I have expensive jewelry on my wrists and don't need to dip it in water and also I just dont feel the need or desire to touch stupid fish or crabs. I certainly wouldn't hold it against anyone who got some sort of joy out of it unless they had a "holier than thou" attitude like you get with these girls.
Els Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 If someone's choice of activities in a freakin' theme park are such a huge deal to you, and someone who has different preferences from yourself automatically has a 'stick up their ass', I absolutely do think that the two of you aren't compatible. Then again, I suppose we're all entitled to our dealbreakers, as quirky as they are. Someone writing like the OP does would send me off the deep end, fast. 1

It's not an "automatic" because of their preferences and they aren't deal breakers a la the LOL at the end if the post. Mabye I need a country girl who aint afraid to get her hands wet.
FitChick Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I can't swim and because of that have a fear of the water, so I don't date men who like to sail and spend time at the beach. Problem solved!
veggirl Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I understand why this would be a turn off for some people. It's just kind of a buzzkill to take someone somewhere and they won't PARTICIPATE. It's just...okay debbie downer. Thanks for coming anyway? They should have suggested an alternate activity if they weren't interested in the amusement park. It's not like you were randomly walking down the street, saw a rollercoaster and were like "lets go on it!" and they said no. They willingly went to a place where all that OBVIOUSLY is at and then refused to partake in any of the activities. Yes its lame.
Radu Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Maybe they equate femininity with this kind of behaviour on dates ?
Feelin Frisky Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 If a chick is self-aware enough to know that she's phobic about rides and admits it, it's no big deal. But going to an amusement park as a day out together and just being a negative nancy about each ride is a downer. I had that happen and it was on a birthday. What a drag. If she would have looked me in the eye and said she had a thing (phobia) about rides, I wouldn't have been bothered by it nor have kept asking her to join me. I only learned much later that she had this crazy fear. That was a crap birthday filled with conflict over every little thing. As for handling fish, I don't blame anyone who isn't into it.
Quiet Storm Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Little kids do it all day long. They swim right up to the wall and there heads are even a few inches out of the water so if you can't even touch one for a split second it just tells me you have a stick up your ass. Little kids also dig in their butts and eat their boogers. It may not be about safety or fear. She may just not want to touch sting rays. Not everyone is curious about what sea creatures feel like. She could've played along for your benefit, but then she'd be a phony. I don't blame people for not getting on rides, either. My mom got seriously injured on the Scrambler as a child. I've heard about a Six Flags Superman drop ride where a girl had her legs amputated. In Disney some guy died on a train ride. Even I got a really sore neck after riding the Shockwave in Kings Dominion. If you want a companion for amusement parks, she is not it. If you like her despite these shortcomings, find things that you have in common and do those activities. Edited July 27, 2012 by Quiet Storm
Author SJC2008 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Mind you this woman stated in her profile that she is "freaking amazing" and "I still don't know how to put myself into words". It's not the end of the world I was just curious because it's the 2nd time it happened. Mabye I'm starting to realize the type of women I like??
