Male f/a's, forgetaboutit?

Howdy,

After many years of commercial airlinework i wanted to give corporate aviation a shot.
However, i am no blonde Ukranian bombshell or French feline, i am a 6'2 37 year old guy....weird huh!

I find it extremely difficult or impossible to get a foot in the corporate door, even when there are job openings posted on company websites.
It seems that there just aren't any male f/a's around at all!

I have alot of relevant hospitality experience, both as f/a and as supervisor for a major european airline, know my languages etc.etc.
Regardless of the current climate but purely based on my gender, where would i be having the best chance to get even considered?
(US is out of the question because i don't have a green card, other than that i am pretty flexible)

I hope to get some serious pointers from folks that currently work in this business, all info is very welcome!

Thanx
