Do chicks really dig pilots?

Stinky Cockpit · Post by **Stinky Cockpit** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 12:02 am

This is right up there with the "Meaning Of Life" I know.....
The only chicks that I have seen, that think flying is cool have been chick pilots. Which are cool in their own right (for too many reasons to list)
I really think that the ground bound ones don't care. They don't "get it." When the predictable question comes up "what do you do?" I usually just say that I am a garbage man. The conversation ends shortly there after..
Time to phone the mythbusters!

Son, there are only two types of girls interested in pilots.

-one is lookin' for another landing on her runway, and the surface condition is 'cheesey'

-the other is miss-informed and looking for rich daddy

In my experience, the worth while ones don't care. Besides, don't you want them to love you for you?

In my experience chicks dig pilots they are all over it. But they don’t want a guy flying a 172 or working up north. They want the biz jet guy with a uniform to match.

So if it’s at the bar tell her that’s what you do.
If it’s a meaningful girl make the 172 sound cool.

I used to be a garbage man. Chicks definately don't dig that.

Your job is what you do. Your job is not who you are.

A colleague once told me:

"guys get into flying to impress the chicks.....

and women get into flying to impress their daddies"

So my question is: Why do homosexuals get into flying?

Ok, from a female point of view, yes and no. I'm a pilot, and i've dated pilots, and i know a lot of other female pilots who dated or are married to pilots, but not because i or they were specifically looking for a pilot. Spending most of your time in a flight school, hanging out with other students who happen to be mostly male, it's just natural that relationships might form. I guess the appeal is being able to talk to someone who is interested in the same things.

Usually, you can tell who's in it for the image (big turn off) and who's in it because they really love it.

In my not so humble opinion there are two types of pilots:

Those who got into aviation to bolster their pathetic selfesteem which resulted from getting too many wedgies in Jr. High. These folks then watch Top Gun about 200 times and think "Wow, if I learn to fly a 172, I'll be just like Mav, and I'll be able to bang Kelly McGill's siloutte to really bad 80's music". These pilots then go run out and buy Rayban's which are way to large for their teesy little head (which is so misshapen that it is likely the root cause of the Jr. High wedgies).

These types of pilots really want to believe that women dig pilots.

Then there are people who got into flying because they enjoy flying. These people realize that their over-all lack of education, limited career options, and subsistance pay-cheques basically limit any chance of landing a trophy wife. So, rather than buying Raybans, they develop charm and a personallity. They very likely find a nice woman and she very likely doesn't care what the person does for a living.

Group 1 tend to be forever single, and possibly turn gay.

Group 2 tend to get married and have a well-rounded life.

With chicks, it's cock, talk or wallet.

If you've got a big one of them, you can get a chick. If you have two of the three- better odds. If you have all three, you have no problem. Flying isn't really part of the equation.

I'm single.

So... heres my question.

Do guys dig chick pilots? lol

w squared · Post by **w squared** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:26 am

Yes, pilots dig chicks. Even a few chick pilots dig chicks (and god bless 'em for it)

Oh wait...what's the question?

I think ISTP is right.

"Cock" includes the entire physical attractiveness part. Six pack abs, tight ass, all that. Even if you're deficient in the other two areas, being pretty will get you laid.

"Talk"...I've seen it at work. I knew a guy that could strike up a natural seeming conversation with just about any woman. He used that gift to become a filthy, dirty, lucky, he-slut. He spent so much time chasing (and catching) tail that it interfered with his job.

"Wallet" You don't need to have a pile of insisght to know that the guys with lotsa bling end up with "arm candy". As long as the women are happy with being gold-diggers, and the guys are happy paying for sex, that's cool with me. To each their own. You can't really be too judgemental about it, since from an evolution point of view, women have been "programmed" to find a mate more attractive if he's a good provider for potential offspring. Men on the other hand have been programmed to seek out women that are physically suited to bearing and rearing healthy, strong children.

Oh wait...I just pointed out that the men hitched up with the skinny, silicone implanted trophy wives are acting in a way that is counter to evolutionary success. Hmmm...maybe they're not quite as smart as their bankrolls would indicate.

If you're lucky enough to find yourself a great girl that loves you for you, and doesn't need a mate that's a wallet with legs, then hang onto her. If you haven't found her yet, then keep looking. I've been lucky, so maybe you will too.

Man I dont know what everyone on here is talking about. I got into flying because I love it not for the chicks (just to be clear). But whenever I tell a girl that Im a pilot their eyes light up and they sit a little closer. This is consistant too it happens often. Maybe they just think that pilots make alot of money I dont know.

In my opinion girls love pilots and girls love uniforms.

So, this would be an example of the first of my two types of pilots. Unless the female in question is his Labrador Retreiver.

How do you know if a pilot is in a bar?

Don't worry he will tell you!

Kilo-Kilo · Post by **Kilo-Kilo** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:19 am

Some chicks like adventurous, sometimes romantic, men. And flying seems adventurous to some while at the same time maintaining the romance that has existed in books and movies.

A good first date is take a girl flying somewhere for lunch. It doesn't have the pressure of an evening date and can demonstrate how professional you are and how you are treated with a common respect by others on the airfield. But that's it. Chicks may like flying and saying their boyfriend is a pilot, but they do not like talking about airplanes, ATC, CARS, the time some guy waterskied his J3, or standing around on the ramp cooling her heels while you ramble on about this stuff with some oldtimer you barely know who you would swear lives at the airport in his beat-up Tri-pacer.

I dig chick pilots!

SYT_YYZ · Post by **SYT_YYZ** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 2:26 pm

ok ok ok....

at 19... i work in terminal 3 out of pearson... so (duh) around a lot of pilots.

yes. women like pilots...

the same way they like

cops, firefighters, and doctors....

why?

to be honest.. i think it is nothing to do with the uniform (ok i lie) but ... i think its becuase they are all positions that people socially think are respectable......

when a girl isnt trying to piss her parents off with the bad ass she is dating..... she is trying to impress them with her "great find"...
although, im not getting into flying for the pilots, i am getting into it becuase i picked up a training manual and havent yet been able to put it down. -- although its kinda cool knowing i am going to be the hot pilot chick too -- but NOT why im doing it all....

i mean common...
a) 50 thousand in great flight training
b) 5 thousand in a great boob job

........... need i say more?

so in finally i think it comes down to a "respectable title" ...

That is the most bang-on description of pilots ever written. I'm going to print that out and frame it for my office.

You need to read more closely, I said that I got into flying because I love it. It has nothing to do with improving my self-esteem or thinking I’m Maverick. Also I am not the type of guy that runs around telling people I’m a pilot in an attempt to pick up. If they ask I tell and in my opinion that usually helps impress them.

You seem pretty adamant about girls not being into pilots maybe girls just aren’t impressed with you and it has nothing to do with you profession
Good try though

No, I read quite well. The missing element here is your sense of humour.

Yeah, my chief problem is the company I keep.

cpt sweet'n juicy,

Yeah, I found that pretty interesting also. I know of a few occasions where girls got into flying because their fathers were airline pilots. It seemed to me that by becoming a pilot, they were able to compete with their siblings (who were not pilots) and perhaps garner some extra attention and special treatment from their fathers. Afterall, the only man that really matters in a woman's life is her father (I've been told, by my wife, this is how it is).

And on a side note, these women have turned out to be pretty damn good pilots....i wonder if it is genetic.

Of course I got into flying for the chicks

..... if it was for the money that would make me a real loser

I got into flying, because I wanted to get paid to have fun. We'll see how it turns out in a few years.
