What are fencers at your club like?

[FenceToTheT]

Just wondering. It could be the fencers you don't know or the ones you've already befriended. If none of the choices suit your opinion, state what it is .

[D'Art]

Non-exsistant, mostly

[RoninX]

you need more options, including an "other - please explain" and a "this poll is flawed"


Because, without them... this poll is flawed.

[Go? Fencing?]

Even with such options, the poll would be flawed.

We have all types at my club... well we did. Our snooty guy just left. *shrugs* Nature abhors a vacuum though so sure someone will step up. Of course I doubt they'll be O.K.P (our kind of people). *turns nose up*

[fencingfrog]

we mostly have my psycho violent friends. and other funny types. see the sig for example of things we say. and our main theme : bother me, and you'll find my foil down your throat and my foot up your ***. etc.

[keropie]

I voted.... all four. Because we have some of each

We have people who won't fence unless they think the opponent is 'worth their time,' and at least a few of those people have no idea who is worth their time or understand how far from accomplished they themselves are.

We have a lot of funny people, and probably a couple who are fun-ny in the awkward hand wavy sense of the word.

We have plenty of friendly people (probably the biggest category, though funny is big too).

And there are a few people who, in one way or another, make me feel uncomfortable. Of course, since I'm one of the coaches, I tend to ignore them until it's toe stepping time

Sarcastic mostly, you gotta be able to take a joke....although when it comes down to it they're all great people.

[RITFencing]

Ours are among the most socially accepting people I've ever seen... as long as you don't whine or talk down to them, they love you. It's wonderful.

This happens a lot at the place I fence at .

[JasminaJ]

The people in my club are friendly, kind and supportive. They will do anything for food or candy from me. Good to know.

[larkmaj]

We had this one guy show up a few times who people complained made them feel uncomfortable. Didn't fence much. The friend that brought him was kind of creepy too. For the most part we're very friendly and funny, except for a few foilists and the two mentioned.

all the people i had my clubs were cool apart from this one guy that was a frickin' idiot, i really hated him; he hit hard, knew it, did it on purpose and liked it. he didn't last long thank goodness.. most people i've met at tournaments were equally cool..never really met a prick or snooty fencer..

[Black Jeebus]

It's been my experience that there's always one jackass in every division. One guy that shows up to every tournament, treats people like crap, and complains about everything that goes wrong. When that person leaves or quits fencing it seems like someone else always steps up to fill that position. Fortunately, I'm confident my club would tell me if I ever stepped into that position.

They are very helpful and give insightful advice. They dont look down at you even if they are better then you.

Dude, you're going to ruin my 'bad boy' image.

[pixie]

People at my club are funny and friendly. The club that I fence at would drive snooty fencers nuts.

ok how about I tell them about the time you made Dave do those push ups just cause he said he couldnt do something.

[RITFencing]

No, I made him do pushups because he wasn't listening when I told him time and again not to proanate his wrist when he attacked and yet he still did so. Sometimes words alone don't get through to people.

[ebonylevin]

Friendly, funny but exceedingly weird. Plus a couple of uber scarcastic people. Oh and then there are the morons who don't listen. We don't really have any snooty people, they belong to the other club.
