"Pilots have girlfriends in every city they go to."

This is what I hear from just about every girl I've been out with the second after they find out I'm a pilot. Now, maybe I'm doing this all wrong but with my average overnight being somewhere around 16 hours. Where the heck do women get the idea that I'm spending a good portion of that time not asleep and out on the town or more likely in some dive bar near the airport Hilton? Is this idea coming from the golden days when there were better/longer overnights? Do I just have zero game? Are women being insecure maniacs? The whole idea just seems like a logistical nightmare and not even worth it to me. Anyway, maybe I'm not the only one that hears this. Anyone else?

You are not, and I partially think it is. Ironically, the majority of the "friction" in my prior relationship on this topic came not from the geography, but the number of young, attractive and available women I tended to fly with, which was an accident on being on an airplane nobody wanted to fly. And I agree, it would be (is) a logistical nightmare.

(Strange, isn't it, that we would be trusted with their lives when they ride on an airliner, but presumably not to be faithful?)
 
The common perception of pilots is that we are a rowdy bunch of womanizing alcoholics.

I've met some pilots who certainly fit that description and I don't fault them for it, as it is their god-given right to live their life as they see fit... But the overwhelming majority that I've come across are normal joes who just fly an airplane and are usually eager to get back home to their friends and family.

Fixed.
 
I can neither confirm nor deny. But uhhh, I've heard this "rumor" as well. If it was true the guy would probably be smiling allllllll the time ;)

As a married man, I'd only say that if you're single you don't have a girlfriend in every city, you're wasting an amazing opportunity.

That, or fooling around with some of the prettier FAs.

Not sure if I missed the sarcasm. But I have to disagree. I easily equate F/A's and nurses in the same category. Meaning that they can go bat shizzz crazy at the speed of Drake. 0-100.

At work I often see a lot of nurse/psych tech, nurse/doctor relationships. They always end up pretty bad. Not all but like a heaping majority of nurses at least in the psychiatric field. Not sure about medical. are bat shizz crazy. And have severe emotional issues, and in most cases on the same meds as the patients. I understand that it's easy to date where you work because you see the person day in and day out. But nurses and F/A/'s kinda have the reputation/stereotype of being crazy, clingy, man hating, co-dependent, cat ranchers.

I say see and avoid.

Example: A nurse at work was having an affair with one of the psychiatrist. She was poking holes in the condoms, at least according to the rumors. She got pregnant, he left his wife for her, she was crazy. And she started emotionally blackmailing him at first to leave his wife. Then when he did, she kept blackmailing him emotionally saying if he didn't do this or that, she's abort their baby, or hurt herself. It basically turned out that she was a gold digging, manipulative borderline. The psychiatrist had to ultimately seek an order of protection, social services got involved for the child's sake, and she ultimately ended up getting fired for stalking him.

How many of us haven't heard the same stories about flight attendants. Probably an exception to the rule, or an extreme example but I say see and avoid.
