Pilot = Women are impressed???

[JumpCaptain]

They told us at Embry-Riddle not to worry about woman, since we will never need one.

:laugh:

I don't have to tell women I'm a pilot, they can tell by my company ID when I hit the bars. They're always impressed until I get drunk and stumble into them and spill my drink on their shirt. It sure is hard to see in those dark and smoky bars with my aviators on.

 

[GVFlyer]

When a guy tries to impress me with the whole "I'm a pilot" routine, I find it hilarious because I'm also a pilot and I know half of the fluff you just told me was BS. I usually don't tell people right away...I say I'm in the high speed pressurized aluminum tubing industry and then let them dribble on about being a pilot.

Evil woman, but cute screen name.

One time I forgot my I.D. in a bar and whipped out my TWO certificates. Yes that right! TWO whole licences (commercial and CFI)...................
Can't really remember anything after that except being forcefully removed from the building.

My wife gets turned on by my uniform. Like I have said, I am a FO (3 stripes) in a C172! Has nothing to do with being a pilot though. It could be a cop, fireman, marine, whatever uniform and she'd get all frisky.

I've had impressed reactions when I tell people I'm a pilot. I've gotten out of a speeding ticket because I was in uniform and "on my way to get my flight on time." I won a custody case over my daughter; my lawyer told me courts generally look at some professions as indicative of "stability, responsibilty and maturity". Bank loan officers, apartment rental managers, etc. seem duly impressed and pleased of my "risk factor".But I've NEVER been laid or gotten to 2nd base because I'm a pilot! (In other words, pulling out the "pilot card" never made an ounce of difference).

 

[GVFlyer]

The reactions that I get from females fall into four general categories, and this is after them having to ask me what I do--I'll always tell someone, but only if they ask first. I'm modest.

Anyway, the categories are:

1. Being sociopathicly attracted because they think that pilots are risk takers and womanizers.
2. Being impressed because they see that it's unique, complex, and interesting work.
3. Apathy; ambivalence.
4. Avoiding me because they think that I'm a risk taker and/or a womanizer.

Ideally, I look for reaction #2. (Read I'm extremely unlikely to reciprocate interest unless I get reaction #2.)

Good analysis. You can always work the bad boy angle. "That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous."

honestly, you can get more action by telling them you are a roofer. It has worked for me on a coulpe of occasions. I played the pilot card when I was a student pilot and it didn't work and I felt like a wanna-be so I didn't use that one again.

 

[RichardRambone]

I tell them I'm a manager at the Geek Squad. Works everytime.

Do you have a cool uniform? Chicks dig a man in uniform and every girls crazy "'bout a sharp dressed man".


Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit,black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain' missin'not a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Why is that? Are people sick of the wanna be "Riddle" pilots? Or just the enormous amount of air traffic?
just wondering never hung out around that area

They're know as Riddle Diddles locally. I'd call myself a sewer shoveler trainee
before I'd ID myself as a pilot in Daytona.

Just tell them you are a pilot. It is stupid to come up with all that crap like "I'm in transportation" and the pressurized tube thing. It is stupid. Why don't you just say what your profession is? Are you embarassed? This goes for everyone. What is the big deal about just saying you are a pilot?

If you were a doctor, or a lawyer, or a teacher, or a network engineer, you wouldn't beat around the bush.

Hey gkrangers....uh..it's supposed to be funny....

 

[UndauntedFlyer]

Ladies seem impressed for a few minutes, maybe an hour, and then it ends.

My whole career has been a waste because of this.

Hey gkrangers....uh..it's supposed to be funny....

Umm, I think that's the point, it's not, really. I'm a bit skeptical that the scene always plays out quite like you say. Even the freshest newbies have all heard (or used) the line : "I'm in high speed aluminum tubing" (yuk yuk yuk snort)

 

[Lead Sled]

This sounds about right...

Dear Abby:
I'm faced with a major moral dilema. I'm engaged to be married soon and I haven't been totally up-front with my fiance. I come from a highly dysfunctional family - my father is on death row for killing a priest during a robbery attempt. My mother is a crack addicted prosititute. My older brother is in prison on drug and child pornography charges and my sister is in a mental hospital after attempting to kill her family. If all that wasn't enough, my younger brother just became an airline pilot. My question to you is should I tell my fiance about my brother the airline pilot?

Signed,

You know what...the pilot occupation is the last thing I ever tell a woman (or anybody for that matter) and only if asked. Really...who cares...its just a job and doesn't have anything to do with life. Better to talk to a woman and find out what makes her tick; exploring every little nuance of her psyche and then hopefully...explore her body.
