What is it about being a pilot that attracts women?

[Rab1901]

According to Tinder, pilots are the most swiped right on. I know it's Tinder, and I know not all women find this attractive, but I can believe it.

For those of you who don't know, a right-swipe is a like.

Only simple minded girls would do that swiping business with a pilot and you know why?

Because being a pilot is one of the worst job you can have. You are not paid millions. This is totally wrong because in order to earn a high wage, you need to have thousand upon thousand of flying hours and that means that you will be somewhere between 45 and 60 years of age.

Also, a pilot's license is only valid for 6 months and if you fail your biannual tests, you lose your license and you are simply put, a non-flying pilot with no income and not much experience in any other job than flying.

Also, you are exposed to health hazards every time you fly and yes you have a reputation of being a cheater. Very nice job indeed.

Because women are hypergamous

That doesn't explain it. Pilots aren't the most well paid career.

According to Glassdoor, pilots earn $140,000 a year, which is a very good salar y. Doctors obviously beat them (by the way, I study medicine), the average salary of a doctor is 270 thousand a year. However, in some countries, pilots earn more than doctors. In fact, in my country, pilots earn twice as much as a doctor. This is because aeronautics is monopolized by wealthy families, the career is very expensive, and it's not funded by the government. On the other hand, thanks to public education, medical school has been de-monopolized, so many poor people are graduating from medical school for free, which drives down salaries.

Furthermore, in my country, there is universal public healthcare, which allows the poor to access expensive treatments without paying much money. This means that doctors' salaries are set by the government rather than by supply and demand, which drives down doctors' salaries.

Really? There are so many other careers that make more money
