Catman:

Nothing sexist about preferring to be seated next to an attractive member of the opposite sex, or I guess if you prefer an attractive member of the same sex.

I'm even looking forward to meeting an attractive women flying the same itinerary, those companion upgrades might come in useful

As for window seats. I still request them, especially when flying into LGA, coming from the south and west you almost always get a great view of New York. Nothing like flying up the east river at 4000 feet on a cloudless night, the bridges, the statue of libery, the empire state building. It's a one of kind view.
