am i the only one who sees this

[sabrefencer93]

is it just me or do a lot of relationships seem to form at fencing clubs that weren't there before?

[Lady Quindecim]

I tend to bond more with some of my fencing equipment at home than at club. Other equipment - the relationship is indeed more club-centric. But for me, anyway, it has always been that way.

Like, my relationships with my epee and glove are formed and strengthened more at home. But I cherish the support my chest protector gives me at club. Wouldn't fence without it.

But that is just me.

LQ, Great to "see" you back here. I hope you are doing well. If I am having a bad day I tell my weapon of the day it is sleeping in the garage tonight. But I had brain surgery.

I have seen some relationships blossom at clubs, I think the shared interest draws them together.

Hi-ya, Pops =^_^=
More seriously/to the point:
I just do not see "romantic" relationships at the club. Consensus is, people cannot fence people they are dating.
But non-romantic relationships... Yes, I trust these people more than anyone else I know, but again, it seems like it has always been that way in the few years I have been fencing.

ive noticed quite a few romantic relationship at my club, and some of them dont even fence, i swear they just go there to flirt, i was getting into a relationship with my partner, but i called it off afraid that it would affect our fencing if anything bad were to happen.

You can date somebody who fences a different weapon, no?

[Nolano]

Well technically yes. But you're an epeeist. You don't want to date "down".

[larkascending]

Generally true, but I happen to have met an exceptionally wonderful foilist ^_^

Okay, but to do that, you would need a relationship with a lot of sex.

(Hey, I know you are an exception to the rule, and I don't mean anything personal, or belittling to your relationship with Nusy. Just making a joke How is it going, by the way?)

[Warrior Princess]

There are definitely a lot of romantic relationships at clubs (I like to call it "fencecest").

[Musicfencer]

I am best friends with the people I am fencing with, and my boyfriend has recently started fencing. Because he likes it....

So far so good, though people asked us if we were brother and sister.

True. I saw it today. Adam & Alyssa (sp?) were fencing. #fail.

You live in Kentucky?

Hmm... perhaps you have a point.

(Hey, I know you are an exception to the rule, and I don't mean anything personal, or belittling to your relationship with Nusy.

Absolutely. I just found it funny. Nothing deeper...

Just making a joke How is it going, by the way?)

Good. Work, work, work. But hey, that just means the debt gets payed off faster and we can get closer to a house.

[sabrefencer93]

i like the sound of fencest! haha, but i was guilty of it, before it got broken off, now im trying not to let it interfere with my weapons, good news about fencing relationships, if it diesnt mwork out it makes you wish you were somewhere where you could hit the other with 3 feet of steel doesn't it? Im not sure i could date someone of a different weapon, i would be to superior to them, i wouldn't want to date down :P kidding of course.

UNH Fencing Club has had, as of this past weekend, 15 fencing marriages. So yeah, I think it happens.

thats so cool, well from my understanding people who are really passionate for their fencing it really is a big part of their lives. I know it is a huge part of mine and i need someone who would support that

Pish and tosh!

And just think of the sparks when they meet on the strip after they've broken up!

Well technically yes. But you're an epeeist. You don't want to date "down".

Not actually possible for them to do that, you know.

[sabrefencer93]

I can imagine whoever was hurt in the relationship would greatly improve their fencing. Im about at that stage right now.

Ah, must not have been enough sex.
