Hate to break it to everyone but this is all women everywhere, not just FAs. I learned this lesson the hard way a long time ago and vowed to keep them all at arms length from that point forward. To quote Joshua in the movie War Games....

The only winning move is not to play.

I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence

As a female pilot, I can tell you that you male pilots should have no trouble meeting someone outside of work, especially dressed in your uniform. I wish the uniform had magical hotness abilities for us women, but sadly, it does not.

Noted, thank you!

I've always thought it looks weird if I wear a pilot uniform to Whole Foods.

That comes naturally for women

I’ve heard this from several pilots and I will follow this advice. A few of them even said that FAs are dangerous. One said that sometimes FAs will intentionally try to get pregnant by a pilot, because she knows his salary and benefits, and she doesn’t want to be a FA forever. Have you all heard things similar to this?

That’s not just FAs. There are a special breed of women that will do this just as there are a special breed of men that will get a woman pregnant and not pay child support or generally be in that innocent child’s life.

Now every FA is different on a personal level, has different motivations, competencies, levels of intelligence, morals, etc, but the lowest bar an FA needs is what, a high school diploma? That leaves a very wide array of people you could be working with and they aren't going to be Rhodes Scholars. So if just 1% of FAs are the worst type of people, borderline criminal, and they see you, with a six-figure income at your stepping stone job, do you not think they'll try to take advantage of that? Whether that's getting knocked up, blackmail, or the old school pressure-you-into-marriage-after-6-months then bait-and-switch? Plus, don't forget that you work together, so there's an implication that they may try to sabotage you professionally, ranging from spreading rumors to filing complaints against you, that at a minimum, will air your dirty laundry to management. Now let's throw in some variables; what if the FA gets jealous, what if someone else who wanted to bang the FA gets jealous, what if you didn't know the FA was dating someone else in the company or that the FA was married, etc, etc. People love to talk and the rumor mill is lot smaller outside of work.

As far as avoiding women in general, that just sounds awful. Just find someone who is financially stable, get a prenup and be very leery of someone who finds a prenup "insulting," and date for a long time before getting married. It's easy to keep up an act for a year or two, but longer than that and you'll really see who they are. Marriage is either a lifetime or half your stuff, so what's the rush? You can wait a couple years

So, just like pilots then.
