My girlfriend is about to jump head long into roller derby. I know how much time it takes because a buddy of mine is a ref and he dated one of the other girls in the league for some time.

Today my girlfriend sent me an e-mail called, "So you want to date a derby girl?"

1. Men cannot compete with derby, you will always be sloppy seconds! Derby will always have her first.
2. She will never have “plans” with you. She will only have plans with derby and will only hang out when convenient. Your “plans” will be dropped for anything derby.
3. You are there to work out any frustrations. Derby leagues get into spats sometimes. Lucky for you there is a lot of frustration in roller derby.
4. Do not start talking about trying to take a vacation with her. She will immediately go into panic mode and start to think you are trying to take derby practice away from her. Vacation is only permissable in cities with other roller derbies. In such instances, you must entertain yourself as they skate. Go hide in the corner of the bar with the other derby widows, while the girls party and stay up all night talking derby with the new friends she made.
5. Don’t try to be the “manager”; do not try to get involved with derby business, that is only for the roller girl.
6. Don’t ask her teamates for relationship advise.
7. Don’t complain because your ( insert holiday here) date gets canceled because a bout has been scheduled. Holidays are no longer yours, even Valentines Day.
8. It’s not mandatory that you are at every bout.
9. Do not get jealous when your rollergirl talks to groupies. They are the ones buying tickets, beer, and merchandise, not you, so let them have there time. And remember, you get to go home with her!
10. Babies don’t make roller girls quit derby.
11. No the league doesn’t want you to travel with them.
12. Don’t make the following introduction, ” Hi I’m _____ and my roller girl is ______”
13. Don’t follow her around at bouts like a puppy, she is taking care of business. Find your own crowd.
12. Don’t go to league practice, and its normal to have them more than once a week.
13. Don’t stand in front of your rollergirl while she is skating, looking at her like she’s the greatest skater in the world. She’s liable to take you out.
14. Do not change your favorite team based on the type of rollergirl you date. Going from team to team just shows your not your own individual.
15. When she calls you when she is out on the road, don’t complain about when she is coming home. Consider yourself lucky that she even called you instead of spending the quarter on food or gas.
16. Never say anything negative about your roller girls league if you can’t say it to her. It will always come back to bite you in the ***.
17. If your dating a roller girl that wears a short skirt… she works it on the track. So, not only you will be able to see her Victorias Secrets.
18. Never cause a fight before your roller girl plays a bout. Relationship problems can be dealt with after the bout.
19. If they have a bout out of town, don’t drive just so you and your roller girl can have “alone time” or want to “talk”.
20. You cannot drink on your roller girls tab, buy your own!
21. Keep the derby seperate from your everyday life. That’s your roller girls passion, find your own.

Some of this is specific to me, my girlfriend, my club and my friends, but I thought most of you here could appreciate this:

1. Women cannot compete with Jeeps, you will always be sloppy seconds! Jeeps will always have him first.
2. He will never have "plans" with you. He will only have plans with Jeeps and will only hang out when convenient. Your "plans" will be dropped for anything Jeep.
3. You are there to work out any frustrations. Jeep owners run into problem sometimes. Lucky for you there is a lot of satisfaction in fixing Jeeps.
4. Do not start talking about trying to take a vacation with him. He will immediately go into panic mode and start to think you are trying to take Jeep meet ups and trail rides away from him. Vacation is only permissible in cities with good trails. In such instances, you must entertain yourself as they drive through the woods. Go hide in the back seat with the other Jeep widows, while the guy gets stuck and stays up all night talking Jeeps with the new friends he made.
5. Don't try to be the "manager"; do not try to get involved with Jeep business, that is only for the Jeep guy.
6. Don't ask his club members for relationship advice.
7. Don't complain because your (insert holiday here) date gets canceled because a trail ride has been scheduled. Holidays are no longer yours, even Valentines Day.
8. It's not mandatory that you are at Jeep event.
9. Do not get jealous when your Jeep guy talks to groupies. They are the ones selling him parts, beer, and off-road park entrances, not you, so let them have their time. And remember, you get to go home with him!
10. Derbies don't make Jeep guys quit Jeeps.
11. The Jeep club would actually love you to travel with them.
12. Don't make the following introduction, " Hi I'm _____ and my Jeep guy is ______"
13. Don't follow him around at trail rides like a puppy, he is taking care of business. Mary Lou and Mary are there. You know them!
12. You don't have to go to Keagans, and its normal for him to go there once a month.
13. Don't stand in front of your Jeep guy while he is hill climbing, looking at him like he's the greatest driver in the world. He's liable to take you out.
14. Do not change your favorite model of Jeep based on the type of guy you date. Going from model to model just shows your not your own individual.
15. When he calls you when he is out on the road, don't complain about when he is coming home. Consider yourself lucky that he even called you instead of spending the quarter on parts or gas.
16. Never say anything negative about your roller girls league if you can't say it to his. It will always come back to bite you in the ***.
17. If you're dating a Jeep guy that wears dirty clothes, it's to make roadside repairs. So, not only you will be able to see him greasy with the hood up.
18. Never cause a fight before your Jeep guy goes to a trail ride. Relationship problems can be dealt with after the event.
19. If they have a trail ride out of town, don't drive just so you and your Jeep guy can have "alone time" or want to "talk".
20. You can drink on your Jeep guys tab, but you might have to drive home!
21. Keep the Jeeps separate from your everyday life. That's your Jeep guy's passion, find your own, like roller derby or something.

There is a dilemma.

lol, that is a dilemma. I would imagine that you understand the Jeep comes first (or with you at the same time).

That's why the list is in plain text and not PDF - edit it to suit your own situation.
