Take it from me, girls look on pilots as 'work in progress' - they have money tied up in aeroplanes that can easily be converted into shoes or holidays.
Although it is useful to know that our men are fully occupied on an airfield, and not mankying about with other women, we would prefer them to give up this unnatural activity!!
Lucy - I was having the problem of how to describe my gf's feelings towards flying, that is until you summed it up perfectly! I took her flying, and although she did enjoy the experience, it just wasn't the same as going up to her and saying "Here is a thousand quid to go and spend on shoes" to which I am sure her delights would have been far greater!
Conclusion - be single and "tout the totty" at the airfield
