To assume all male air-stewards are gay?

[Malaleche]

a woman told me her son was training to be an air steward and I immediatey thought 'her son's gay'. Am i being completely whatever?

yes. And not all male hairderessers are gay either.

But they seem gay

They seem attentive. Most men aren't attentive.

hmm, but they have all these little mannerisms and make little faces at each other when working the drinks trolley...

I rememeber one who was really gay and really funny - he was doing the emergency procedures thingy that no-one ever watches and it was hysterical - he said 'and here's the whistle (on the life jacket) to attract the attention of passing sailors' the whole plane was rotfl

Yes you are

You should fly Continental in the south of the US and you would see no attentivenes whatsoever.

Yes, you are. My FIL was an air steward and he most certainly is not gay, on his 3rd wife already!

An old boyfriend worked as an air steward for BA and served George Michael his dinner. George dropped a potato in his lap and asked my friend if he would like to retreive it for him! He declined!

I am so of your ex boyfriend!

well BIl is a pilot

they are a lot apprently but it depends out of which ariport

all of the ones I have seen have worn foundation

case proved

at the airline my DH works for there is one that isnt
apparently he has a great time shagging all the air hostesses that arent shaging pilots

no you're not - would be my first thought too

my ex boyfriend came out shortly after we split up - the signs were all there - he bleached his hair, buffed his nails and wanted to become an air steward [gg smacks forehead at her naivety age 18] - an ambition he has indeed realised.

A bit of an assumption really. What about train stewards? Or are trains more phallic than planes? .

The train steward on Me Too (Raymond) is, I think!.

I used to be a hostie, and I'd say at my airline, 7 or 8 out of 10 Stewards were gay, so the odds are your assumption is correct, Malaleche

right, thanks everyone, looks like i might be more right than wrong about this then

I saw one air steward pinch another air steward's bum once. Doesn't mean he was gay of course, but did make me presume.

I can never decide if they are gay or it's the job that makes them look camp. The last time I went to get my hair cut there was one exactly like sean from coro. Even did the mannerisms, I was trying so hard to keep a straight face.

I'm sure they can't all be gay but I know where you're coming from, Malaleche. I'm a bit slow on the uptake about these things so it didn't really register with me as such until I remarked to teenage dd1 that all the stewards seemed to be such nice boys. She looked at me and rolling her eyes said 'Mutti, you're soooo naive.'
