ruminations

some more thoughts i've had on the dating topic...

being in this industry makes the possibility of meeting anyone exceedingly more difficult, from the lack of social time, to the problems with trying to start and maintain a relationship in little, infrequent, spurts (no pun intended ) so i guess that just double dams us poor saps in the airlines that are single.....

not to mention trying to explain the bizarro-ness of living life as an 121 pilot, schedules, reserve, time off, etc.... thought the online thing might be easier for this instance, but it wasn't, at least for me, but then....i'm just a freak

Hi all,

A little more advice...do not ever date anyone from work, especially from a small crew base.

You may be gods gift to women or men, but if your relationship goes sour, for whatever reason, you will think the lightspeed barrier has been broken with how fast the news travels.

The whole airline will know your life story and personal information with probably a not-too-great spin on it.

If you wan't to date within the industry, do it with someone from ANOTHER airline. Besides, if it works out, you double your travel benefits.

Best,
Nu

Re: eharmony malarkey

here's the 'feedback' from eharmony on me, obviously a form letter, but amusing none the less, i'm gonna retake it and lie about the religious stuff and see what happens then...

Everyone gets this
Give it a day, then you will get matches
I got 6 in first 48 hrs

The responses have been many and you are able to be extremely selective. Never thought AC was any good until I went here. The key is picture..


I can't even compare the other sites to this one... I do not think one could be dissapointed. PM me and I will send you some "responses".

uhm....didn't seem that great to me...

dude, i did a generic search and on that site in all of the us, theres only 13 women between 20-30 with no kids, using basic physical numbers of 4'11"-6' and 80#-180# which are pretty broad ranges for only 13 results...maybe i'm configuring the search wrong (which btw is a pretty bad setup for searching, no state selection, or radii for zips), i dunno...

Dash8,


The only thing you need to put in the search feature is male seeking female, you will get many more responses with the pictures. Do not limit yourself to just the US, "tap into" Canada.!!!

.......do not ever date anyone from work, especially from a small crew base........

NuGuy,

Sounds like you have had personal experience in this area. Did you try to keep your interests confidential or did you open it to general knowledge?

Some companies frown on inner office dating. Others prefer discretion warning against conflicts detracting from productivity.

What do you feel is the down side to company gossip regarding in-house dating?

Entertainment Industry:
Military:

Dash8,


I tried to copy and paste the links of those pictures/profiles to this board but for some reason that site is set up in a way that it will not allow me to do that. Just type in male searching for female, leave all other fields blank and these all will then come up. I think they are on or around page 3 or 4. I think you may enjoy.

I dunno where you guys are getting your info on over-36 women, but lemme clue ya in, brothers ....

I turned 40 this year and after a marriage or three and more live-in, long-term relationships than I care to recount, I decided to join Match.com and just be totally up front because I was dating a lot, but no one really 'stuck out' in any meaningful way. They were all nice ladies, and still great friends, but no one I'd take home to meet my kids except as a friend. On Match I said that I was educated and had a career, but was not rich, that I was not a 'player' nor a bad-boy, but had a past, blah, blah, blah. I also included a couple recent pictures. The seven women I met and dated (two for a while [Edit:removed 'now' haven't dated but one person since March]) reflected my general experience with women over the last few years as I've gotten older:

1) There are still PLENTY of gold-diggers out there my age
2) Many women STILL don't have a clue what they want at 40
3) Many women have a VERY skewed idea of what 'curvy' means
4) ALL women think ALL men are a work-in-process and can be changed, despite his age

Sorry to disappoint.

I've always dug older women, and I still do, but in the last few years I have dated a 21-year-old all the way to a 52-year-old (who was freaking STUNNING ) and I am open to different races, etc. I too figured that a woman in her 40s ought to be independant, realistic about life, and generally squared away by then. Not always so ...

EDIT ... I'm newly single today as of an hour ago and now I REALLY stand by Numbers 2 and 4. I can't $%&*ing win.

Dear Kathy[ResumeWriter] and Stephanie[ravengirl],

It happened again. I need a woman's perspective. The woman of my dreams walked into the library [I spend afternoons in a public library and evening in a medical library]. I looked up to see someone I have never seen before except in my day dreams; 5'10", light brown hair, hazel eyes, dressed in black and white solids, casual slacks and blouse, thin with a coordinated awkwardness about her, very long legs and a pixie hair cut [which is a bit short for me but I was willing to compromise when everything else was so right].

I saw her and I froze. My eyes got so wide I do believe they were bugging out slightly. She must have known I was attracted to her by the way I jerked to good posture and leaned immediately to her attention. But, I could not think of what to say. It was all so sudden.

This always happens. If I wasn't attracted I could chatter on like a monkey. But when I see someone I like my mind goes blank. What is wrong with me and what would you do if you were this 9.99 out of 10. Of course I know absolutely nothing about her and now I might never see her again [as usual].

She went about her business on the computer and left. I tried to follow her for a short distance hoping for an opportunity to exchange pleasantries that would create time for a more solid foot hold. But the opportunity never developed.

I know there is no picture of me onLine to formulate an opinion. But I have observed that everyone in aviation is well above an 8 on a 10 scale. That leaves any solid attraction to intrinsic values that can be obtain only by personal interaction or through a personal profile. All of which takes a certain amount of time to collect.

Does this happen to all men? And why do women not initiate contact? Do you have any "stop and pay attention" openers that you feel comfortable with?

Same thing happens to me, can't just converse with new females in a semi social setting
dunno where you work, but everyone in aviation is an 8 or higher??
you've never seen me or some of the people i work with, lol

aileron, cubegirl, nik, resume, raven, aviatrix, and any others who's names i couldn't think of....

why is item 4 in minhs list true? what is it about women that they just can't leave well enough alone? i've often wondered about that, as i'm sure most of them other men here have done, any thoughts?

I don't know what lol or j/k is but I do know what stalker is and it's not stalking just because you are traveling in the same direction. [meat head] I do have a story about that though, I was dating a nurse........ I'll tell you about it when the topic turns to uncontrolable behavior.

You are right I have never seen you or your company staff, How bad can you look? You can't answer that either. You have to have someone else who has seen you answer.

Corporate clients don't want to have gargoyles at the controls.

 

[Dash8]

they're standard net acronyms

lol = laugh out loud
j/k = just kidding

well if your in a frac/corporate outfit then they can afford to be pickier about appearances than the airlines, who with their 'deep pockets' would be easy targets for someone looking for a frivoulous lawsuit about only hiring 'the pretty people'

as for myself, eh, i could be better, but i don't think i'm a troll or anything like that

Dash8,
Thanks, I didn't know about acronyms.

There use to be a lot of complaints about "pretty people" getting all the modeling contracts, high end sales positions and public relations. There were "show horses" and "work horses." Much of that has changed but pretty people still need a place to work and many of them show up in aviation.

It is not necessarily a compliment needing to be rectified by a lawsuit. It is an observation coming from the eye of the beholder.

And I am not sure I should trust your esthetic judgements concerning your own biographic imagery.

 

[Snakum]

Do you have any "stop and pay attention" openers that you feel comfortable with?

Try this ...

Walk by slowly while reading a non-descript printout, and softly say "God, I can't believe how much I've been paying in taxes since I hit six figures per year." and look at her with a slightly vulnerable smile.


Or try this ...

Stomp forcefully up to her while she's reading, pull the book from her hand and loudly say "Yo b!tch! How 'bouts a hummer?"


Or you could just tell her you're a pilot. I hear chicks really dig pilots. Well ... that's what I heard.

Lemme know how it works for ya.
