Why are there more attractive women at airports and hospitals?

    and by hospitals I mean nurses and doctors not patients. Been in hospital for a week and you'd swear that human resource secretly lists good looks as their criteria. can't just attribute it to youth as a fair amount are 30-50

    Same with the airport when I travelled to LAX. Much more tall hot women than you see day to day.

    Is it wealth, youth, simply more women in one place or something else?

    It's just that you need to get out more and broaden your horizons.

    I'd be sacked from a height if I was to say who I am and what I do for a living, but yeah it is a recruitment policy thing.

    A mate of mine works for an American fund crowd. He was sent to Poland to help set up a new office over there n was told to recruit 100 locals. He took on 90 odd women, all hot. Sure, why wouldn't ya!!

    I had a cracker of a nurse looking after me when I was in my early twenties, I swore she was coming on to me, she kept giving me cheeky grins, and kept giving me the eye.

    One night, while she was getting me ready for bed I asked her for a kiss, but she said no.

    Not one to give up easy I asked her for a kiss again, reassuring her that the curtain was closed, and no one would see us...

    Alas, her answer was still no:mad:

    I gave it one last shot, ramped the charm factor up to eleven, told her she was looking more beautiful than ever on that particular evening, and told her that one kiss from her would really make me the happiest man in the hospital.

    But alas, once again she gave me a fairly definitive NO.



    Followed with "I shouldn't even be **** you!"

    That’s the type of joke a dirty old man would tell at his niece’s 21st birthday party. If I wanted Jim Davidson style humour I’d look for it on YouTube.

    Jesus.

    Maybe I should have used more toilet humour in it M'lord? A hundred different ways to describe doing a poo perhaps?

    Tis just a joke M'lord, quite an old one M'lord. Heard it years ago.

    'Do you love me, do you love me, do you lov....'

    'Of course I do, amin I riding you'.

    *Maybe you had to be there. :)

    I think it's just that in both places men are a bit more aware of their mortality hence their perceptions are enhanced.

    Cos the social welfare offices are full of ugly nurses and doctors that cant get jobs despite shortages?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭Zorya


    It's just that everyone is confined and moving slower so you can get a better look at them. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 582 ✭✭✭Hobosan


    It's because the most attractive people are constantly coming and going.

    I assume that person works for an airline, not the HSE.

    There's no doubt but that airlines (well, maybe not Ryanair or EasyJet, but the major Arab and American Airlines) won't consider hiring women, in particular, who aren't attractive.

    I know someone who always wanted to be cabin crew but was told point blank to have her acne scarring treated before reapplying.

    And we all like watching well dressed women in tight skirts and heels crossing their legs while trying to sell us Priority Boarding

    Is this really reflective of customer expectations, or are we dealing here with shallow w@nkbags?

    lol are you having a laugh?? Hopefully you don't mean secondary school teachers.

    Sure there's a good few in the bunch but most are just...meh. But it's about the academics not looks :D

    Well a lot of flight hostesses and airport staff seem to be better looking than average but I cant say I noticed this in hospitals

    I don't know, I would suspect that a lot of customers are shallow wankbags.

    I know more than one cafe/bar owner who only hires attractive staff, and I must admit, I would be drawn to go places where I fancy the staff a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Tinder at the Airport is where you get the best talent. I always had my swipes saved up for such occasion. A lot of flight attendants on show.
