Taking a girl you're already romantically involved with flying in a puddlejumper or somesuch, and using the "I'm a pilot" line in a club are leagues apart.
I have to admit - I for one never like to bring up the subject myself. If I was to see another guy bring up the subject "Hey I am a pilot"...... (bragging to55er)
Even when someone brings it up in conversation, I tend to change the subject (forget the talking baby, come and see my hangar)
