Shouldn’t matter too much. Women can be lonely too.
(clicking the link, it says something about “reversing genders” which answers the question of whether all of “Bobbie’s” flirtations are going to be with men or women)

There are more than a few straight male flight attendants out there, David, and if you haven’t encountered any, then you haven’t been paying attention.
Music is definitely not Stephen Sondheim’s strength, is it?
Spoken by someone who probably knows little of it! I have been to many of Sondheim’s musicals and found most fascinating musically. I was at the first London production of Company (Elaine Stritch was magnificent), enjoyed it and wished I had known the music better before. It has since become one of my favourite of his works.
