Good call Doug, all I got to say is one pilot is like the next, exactly what Doug said, but I did like that Playboy survey thing, also meens I'm doin somethin wrong, other than talking about aviation WAY too much.

I'm taking foreign language classes and I've lost track of the number of times we've had to pick a partner in class and ask one another "what do you do during the day?", or "what do you like to do?", or "what are your hobbies?".
During one such exercise, I told one girl (in german) "I go to the airport in my spare time because I'm a pilot". She just started laughing at me and then said "yeah, we should all just make up silly fantasies when we have to do this, right?".
I just said "uhhhh, yeah" and went with the usual "watch TV, sleep, and go to the movies" responses. The more I think about it the more I realize that a girl is just going to consider you incredibly dorky/nerdy if you mention "being a pilot" within the first week or two of dating them. I make it a general policy not to utter the words "airport, airplane, or pilot" unless specifcally asked about it. I know my girlfriend friggin hates it when I make her test me on my meorization of emergency procedure checklists
