I'm a flight attendant — marrying us is a ‘bad idea' and not as sexy as you think
Although the idea of landing a hot flight attendant as your husband or wife might sound enticing, an expert of the friendly skies is issuing a word-to-the-wise against getting hitched to folks in her field.
'I hate to be the one to burst your bubble. But I owe it to you to be honest,' Sil, a flight attendant and first responder, captioned a trending Instagram clip titled: '5 Reasons dating/marrying a flight attendant-first responder is a bad idea.'
5 Sil, a flight attendant and first responder, shared five top reasons why daters should think twice before getting romantically involved with cabin crew members.

'The old sexist stereotype about flight attendants is simply not true,' she wrote, dismantling longstanding fantasies of malleable, mile-high hotties who live solely to fulfill the needs of others.
'There are some traits that flight attendant – first responders have that don't exactly make us the [ideal] partner.'
And her rundown of their less-than-ideal ways might have a few potential suitors looking for the emergency exits.
Sil's list is gaining viral acclaim just days after Cierra Mistt, a commercial and charter flight attendant, revealed that flight attendants and pilots routinely have sex in the cockpit during long hauls.
5 Sil's warning closely trials a separate social media snippet, which virally exposed the once-secret sexual habits of flight attendants and pilots.

'No. 1,' began Sil, 'We don't exactly wear our hearts on our sleeves. We are good at empathizing, but our first responder life has taught us to keep our emotions under wraps.'
'No matter how hurt, angry, disappointed or sad we are, you'll rarely see us cry or show much of any emotion but being happy,' she continued. 'If you see anything else, you're lucky. We don't share our feelings easily.'
Secondly, Sil said, 'We can put a smile on our face through anything. We know how to pull it together no matter how much we are falling apart. It makes us hard to read.'
5 The Skyway know-it-all says flight attendants aren't ones to constantly check in with their partners.

The in-flight insider went on to reveal that she and her coworkers aren't clingers.
'We are fiercely independent/self-reliant,' Sil noted as the third reason getting in a relationship with her ilk is ill-advised.
'The old adage, 'The only one you can depend on is yourself,' comes into play a lot,' she explained.
'This also means we have zero problem doing things by ourselves. We won't wait for you. Don't wanna get on board, it's ok. You do you & we'll do us.'
5 Sil warned that most members of her profession fiercely enjoy their freedom.

And when it comes to keeping in constant communication, a flight attendant's inamorato can forget it.
'Definitely do not expect us to call you numerous times a day giving you updates about who we're with & what we're doing,' Sil asserted. 'Might sound appealing, but most people can't handle that amount of independence.'
The free-spirit's fourth red flag is all about the thrill of takeoff.
'We will jump at an opportunity for an adventure. Give us flight [benefits] & we're off! That might mean with you, friends or on our own!.'
Last, but certainly not least, Sil forewarned wannabe lovebirds that flight attendants often have a plethora of pals — guys and gals — all over the world.
Thus, their partner would have to be mentally and emotionally secure enough to handle the heat.
5 Sil informs prospective partners of flight attendants that their sky-high sweetheart will likely have a slew of friends of the same and opposite sex.

'We make friends wherever we go & have both female & male friends — we are flight attendants because we are able to make people feel at ease,' she said at her fifth and final point.
'We can be charming even when we are enforcing FAA rules. People tend to talk to us easily & we're easygoing enough to not be bothered by 'odd' things about other people'
Still, all hope isn't lost for hopeless romantics who just so happen to work in the clouds. But the key might be marrying a fellow frequent flyer.
Alexander and Kita Valur, both flight attendants for Icelandic airline Play, tied the knot at 30,000 feet on Valentine's Day this February.
'During these two years, we have traveled a lot together, both to France and other countries, as well as within Iceland,' the groom said in a statement shared with The Post by PLAY. 'When we heard about the idea that it was possible to get married on board … we thought, why not? It just fit perfectly with all of our adventures.'
'We love traveling.'

Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert Hough are expecting their first child together. The "Dancing with the Stars" judge and the "So You Think You Can Dance" alum announced they would be parents in a sweet Instagram video posted Tuesday, July 22, seemingly shot in a backyard overlooking Los Angeles. "We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small," the couple captioned the joint Instagram post. The video was set to "So Small," a song from Alexander Jean, the band of Hough's "DWTS" costar and pro dancer Mark Ballas. The video showed the couple embracing, sharing a kiss and Herbert wrapping her arms around Hough as she held an ultrasound photo. A post shared by Hayley Erbert Hough (@ 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' are headed to 'DWTS.' Which two join the dancing competition? The couple received an outpouring of love and support from friends who waltzed their way to the comment section. "Baby Hough is not even ready for Uncle Mark, Auntie BC + Cousin Banksi play dates about to go TOO HARD," Ballas said, while Erbert Hough's best friend and "DWTS" pro Britt Stewart said that "truly no words can match this blessing!!!! Auntie Britt is ready! Love you both so much." The Houghs began dating in 2015 after meeting on "DWTS." Before joining the judge's table, Hough was the show's winningest "DWTS" pro dancer, capturing the coveted Mirrorball Trophy a record-breaking six times in the televised dance competition. They announced their engagement on June 2, 2022, with joint Instagram posts. The couple married in front of family and friends in a redwood forest in Northern California's Monterey County during an August 2023 ceremony.

Stephen Colbert reveals the real hairy reason for 'Late Show' firing
"CBS saw my upper lip, and Boom! Cancelled! Coincidence?" Stephen Colbert said on July 21. There are many legitimate reasons why both Stephen Colbert and the "The Late Show" franchise were cancelled by CBS last week. There's the collapse of TV late-night's business model amid rising costs, declining profits, and shrinking viewership. There's Colbert's unrelenting criticism of a thin-skinned president while CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, seeks to finalize an $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires regulatory approval from the federal government. All of these things could be true. However, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" host floated another eyebrow-raising theory on July 21, that, while made in apparent jest, shouldn't be brushed away like panini crumbs in Movember: This firing was spurred on by his controversial summer mustache. It was "stashe-ism." More: Stephen Colbert is out at CBS. Is all of late-night TV officially doomed? Stephen takes us behind the 'stache to reveal how his vacation look earned him a new nickname. #Colbert #Mustache #Vacation Colbert returned from summer hiatus to "The Late Show" on July 14, sporting what I charitably referred to as an "unfortunate summer mustache." In his first monologue, the host got way too close to the camera while discussing the ongoing facial hair situation on his upper lip, which he referred to as his "salt and pepper cookie pusher." Sure, Colbert also eviscerated Donald Trump and Paramount in the same monologue, causing consternation in corner offices and likely the Oval Office. Yet as we all know, three nights later, a newly shaven Colbert announced the news of "The Late Show" cancellation to a stunned nation. I'm following the mustache trail. I would have kept quiet on my theory until Colbert blew his own whistle on July 21, which he's able to do now that the 'stache has been removed. "I delivered a blistering monologue during which I had the courage to have a mustache," Colbert said. "CBS saw my upper lip, and Boom! Canceled! Coincidence? Oh, I think not. This is worse than fascism. This is 'stache-ism." A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill) Hollywood history is filled with great mustache battles, including Tom Selleck's insistence on keeping his as Franl Reagan, the New York police commissioner on CBS's "Blue Bloods." Selleck and his famous facial hair won that battle. Henry Cavill discussed his "mustache fiasco" on his Instagram in 2017, explaining he was compelled to keep his "Mission: Impossible" villain mustache for "Justice League" reshoots as Superman. The bushy beaut was not right for the Man of Steel, obviously. It was digitally and ineffectively removed from "Justice League," a source of online derision. It needs to be pointed out that Cavill is no longer DC's Superman. Coincidence?
