Hmmm, maybe we should sort the roll call list into those who are partnered and those who are single...

FT Dating is a good idea! I do need a bf who will appreciate these sort of things. But yeah most of my friends think I am crazy to do a MR to Europe with 3/4 hours turn around time! It doesn't help that I am in my mid 20s and most my friends are in the same age range. But what the hell, I love it!
I guess when you find a bf and if he fancies you enough, maybe he'd start to appreciate it like you do? hahahah one can only dream!

One problem with dating a fellow FTer, however, would be that not only must you actually like this person, but that your alliances must be complementary. Issues with interalliance dating could be significant. I mean, i could NEVER date a Skyteam elite. Ewww. Just the thought of it...Oneworld or Star all the way!

I have to deal with a totally different beast. My bf thinks most of all of this is crazy. But then again he expects to be up front all the time. One of our biggest tests ever was last year going to MG in Sydney and I was in business and he was in F. There was something seriously wrong in the universe.

I can't imagine where you're shopping for gay men who don't love First Class!
As for obsessing about FlyerTalk, that's probably something best to save for a later date lest one come off as a psycho.
FT Dating? Good luck with the TalkBoard on that one! You're more than welcome to propose it to them, though.

I've seen a few guys who I suspect might be gay, but don't really have the guts to approach them.
Back in July I was in the LH FCT in FRA waiting for a flight to New York and this young European guy around my age with lots of "priority tags" of various airlines (he seems to enjoy collecting them) on his carry-on bag sitting in the chair beside me asked if I was going to Shanghai (just because I look asian). The conversation continued for about 10 seconds and he said that he's going to Shanghai and has a company there and goes often. Too bad I ran out of topics and the conversation didn't really continue. After a short while, his FCT PA came over and told him his flight is ready for boarding and whether he had his medicine (earlier he went to the bar area to retrieve some kind of small bag with supposedly had his medicine in it).To this day, I wonder if he is a FTer (I have strong suspicions he might be). Maybe if this "medicine guy" with lots of priority tags is reading this threa, PM me :-)
I should have "came out" as a FTer!

FT dating ^ Planes, flying in F, listening to ATC or hanging out at airports.
I just made EXP on AA. I have met very few FT's anywhere but I know it's time! Oh and yes I am single.

I've been happily partnered since pre-FT days. My other half doesn't really get my fascination with FT, but does appreciate some of the benefits of me hanging out on here...including spending a week in Khao Lak in an Ocean Front Pool Villa for a total of about $100 on the great Ugandan Schilling rate mistake that Starwood made last year at this time.

I recently met an FA, and our conversation about planes, passengers, and destinations never ended. I forgot to ask him if he is a member of FT!

Was out tonight, Posh in NYC. Nice neighborhood bar. Met someone who started asking me about flying?! Totally random. What are the odds? His mom was a pilot for United! Small world. Of course, after 1.5 hours of chatting, he discloses his 23 year-old boyfriend. I swear......

I can just see a new abbreviation of what guys are into starting to appear on manhunt, gaydar and other sites like that ... FT, etc.
