I have found that female friends are far more likely to:

a) Turn up in the first place

b) Enjoy the experience

Ever since I got my licence, most of my male friends asked to come along for a flight at some point, but the majority of of them called with excuses at the last minute.

The girls however were completely different - all of 'em turned up, all thoroughly enjoyed the flight (even the nervous ones) and some of them have come back a second or even third time - 'When are we going to go flying again?'

I find this a little strange - without wishing to generalise, my experience has always been that women tend to be a little more risk-averse than men, but in this respect the roles have completely reversed

Anyone else experienced this?
