Any other female Uber drivers here?

Slightly long post, but... Good share of female drivers in SF. More driving Uber/Lyft now than there were years ago in the cab industry. Women driving TNCs are not a novelty here. FWIW, I get all the jerks everyone else gets and my experiences are varied and often generic. (I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the guys who claim to be repeatedly offered BJs are blurring fantasy with reality, but I could be wrong.)
Yeah, I get some friendly flirtations from pax, some boundary-crossing conversations, a few a**holes who think they're shocking me with their colorful or "dangerous" conversation. I tend to forget those, I've been doing this too long and they're not worth keeping in my mental filing cabinet. I remember one uptight and insecure woman who hated that her European date engaged in a conversation with me in which she couldn't participate because she didn't know anything about the subject. She started steaming and it looked like she was actually jealous. She slammed the door when they got out and I suspect she gave me one star for my knowledge of the opera houses of Paris and Vienna. (I was monitoring my rating at the time with few rides, all of them perfectly lovely, with the exception of this one.) Maybe she should have taken it out on her date, not me.

LOL this is also what might happen if you pick someone up from a show or event and casually say, "How was the opera/concert/ballgame?" Don't be too intelligent, now!

(OK - I did have a great conversation with a young ex-cop about use of deadly force, racial profiling, events in the news, etc. We sat in my car at his destination for quite a while and even though we were beyond the outskirts of town, I was very pleased just to have had that conversation. We agreed to disagree on a few points, but there was a good exchange of ideas and experiences. To me, this is a benefit of driving in this industry. I love good conversation with interesting people. I've met some very interesting, likeable and/or accomplished experiences. Have counseled people on love affairs and consoled them in their desperation. (Trust your driver like you trust your bartender?) Loved the guy who walked away from his start-up and started a non-profit to teach sustainable farming techniques in rural third world communities, and another who left to start schools and improve literacy in same.

Love the people who didn't come to San Francisco for a job, but because they have always wanted to live here and they love it with all their hearts. Love sharing information about this place with people who are new to the area and want to learn something, not just get drunk and meet their Tinder dates on Valencia Street or bitch about their "teams" at their tech companies. Sorry - this isn't very "female" oriented, I guess my gender doesn't govern my life so much when I'm behind the wheel (or not). Sometimes the good things are nicer to share.
