I flew for a pax carrier for a couple of years until I was furloughed, and I have to admit I was not particularly comfortable with the FA aspect of it. There were all types. I can see having some paranoia about hanging out with some of them. However, I've never felt uncomfortable having a meal or a drink with a fellow crewmember. Ever. I distinctly enjoy just dealing with boxes and flying instead of pax and FA's. Even the occasional sea lion crapping and rolling in it (letting off an ungodly smell) is something I can live with.
