Great thread. Some interesting reading for sure. I share the same opinions as a lot of women do in regards to military and cops. The military hasn't defended my "freedom" since the war of 1812
Wrong. Forum rules prevent me from calling you out for what you are but I believe they do allow me to say that I have no respect for this position which is taken by cowards and selfish curs who are too busy enjoying the freedom others have defended to even realize that their genes would have been removed from the gene pool had it not been for the very people they disparage.
To be honest I like men who served in the military more than men who went on straight to college and never served. They tend to be more mature and better guys. Men I have dated who were college boys (in particular frat boys)were the worst and often still had that attitude years later.
come with their own challenges, pros or cons? Three types that I can think of off the top of my head are military guys, policemen, and firemen.
I have reached the point where I won't date anyone in the military. Every single guy I've dated in the military has had huge issues with arrogance and anal retentive behavior. That, coupled with the fact that I have no desire to move all over the place has put them in the "don't date" category for me.
You forgot the nice guy category. They exist across all fields of employment. Maybe your question should be why do I gravitate towards A holes? My husband is a retiring policemen and we did hit a rough patch. Not because of his job, but more about him turning into his a hole father I think over coming our parents are the biggest challenge in our lives, not the jobs.
Pretty much my "don't date" categories, I've dated..
My "ideal" relationships, I've dated.
Categories of men I'm intrinsically and sensationally drawn to in the most unfathomable crying out loud til your hearts desires kinda way?
Integrity, leader, spunky, gets me, wierdo, nerdy, a cool Pee Wee.. well rounded, well read. Spiritual on some level, not religious. Compassionate. Flair for culture, travel, food, health, and just about anything yuppy but lives a very simple comfortable life. Authentic.
Whatever his type is, genuine seems to be pretty most accurate!
Maybe your question should be why do I gravitate towards A holes?
I don't. I didn't say they were a-holes either. Anyone who is willing to serve their country is not an a-hole in my book, but the personality traits I've noticed in military guys as a whole are why I don't date them.
Being in the military doesn't absolve someone from being an a-hole anymore than it guarantees someone is an a-hole. Serving your country is great and a good choice for many, but it doesn't really mean you are a good guy/girl or a bad one.
My preference to not date active duty military does not have to do with perceived personality stereotypes, but instead with it being an incompatible lifestyle choice. The military lifestyle is not one that appeals to me, moving-wise, commitment-wise, etc.
