Aww... dboat village elder, sorry to hear things aren't going well for ya and your girlie. Weigh the pros and cons of the relationship, perhaps? There doesn't seem to be anything that you can do to satisfy her, aside from quit dboat altogether. I hope it NEVER comes to that!!   I don't know about you, but for me, being in dboat for this long, it's in my blood!

i wouldn't go out with someone who didn't understand my three material passions: sports, cars, shopping.  the shopping bit is easy.  its the sports and cars that are hard to cover.

[Lush]

hm.. breaking up just b/c of d-boat? that's too frivolous and severe.  haven't you folks heard of "taking the good w/ the bad?" I"m sure the real issue is time management and not dragonboating.


i forgot who, but someone mentioned that if the g/f or b/f paddled as well that they would understand the need for the extra time commitment? I agree 100% . they would understand (i know for a fact). HOWEVER, that doesn't necessarily mean that he/she has to like the idea of having less time w/ the g/f or b/f.  

i know that i hate being "scheduled" into my b/f's life.  whatever happened to spontaneity???? what if i wanted to see him on a monday nite instead of sat nite? anyways, my remedy? keep yourself busy.  take up pilates, yoga, wine classes, volleyball, WHATEVER. anything to distract yourself.. well... almost anything

dboat village elder - sounds rough, but i know you can get through it (you always do!).  bring the gf out and i'll talk to her     my only advise - don't give up what you love (whatever/whichever that may be).  

how's that for cryptic?

see you at practice in a few hours.

... or maybe not.

Umm. I don't know if the discussion of this topic is finished.. but I'll throw in my personal opinion.

I've had a girlfriend for two year and a half. She's in Japan the whole time. It really gets frustrating when she thinks it takes too much time of me from her because I paddle.

First of all, whenever I paddle, she's sleeping (time zone difference). Second of all, I don't think how paddling affects her at all besides the fact that I slept early before festivals. Obviously, that whole no touchy/sex thing before festivals didn't bother us either cos she's not even around !

There are numerous times where she doesn't understand why I'm so into this and insulted me in many ways. There are so many fights between us just because I have to paddle. And there are times that she purposely wake me up at 3am (especially before a festival) just to p*** me off.

So yeah, I think it's really hard if the other half doesn't understand or like dragonboating... or in my case.. respect me for what I do as a hobby.

So yeah, we broke up.  And I don't think i'll date a non paddler again.

I find new interest in girls with sugoi outfit. And I'll pick that over TNA hoochie outfit anytime.

Sousou, sounds like you and your girlfriend from across seas didn't share enough in common. Perhaps she wasn't a very athletic person? I'm only guessing here.

Athletes usually go well with other athletes. I've dated girly girls before, and they're not for me, but have found happiness with athletic girls.  8)

I'll drink to that!!
