What's your reaction to someone, girl or boy, you realize has that? Sensors, processors, and especially weapons?

To someone who isn't, hasn't been part of the military, that phrase doesn't mean much. But to those who have been, what's your reaction realizing that the person you are talking to IS built like that?

Briefly, analyzing every word being said, every move? Someone who is considering every aspect, every possibility?

What is your next move?

Back to the topic title. I have the full combat suite. Every piece of input is considered. Every item is processed to its meanings, its alternative meanings. Every item is considered against full offensive response.......

.....and the boy or girl realizes this. What is one's next course of action?

I'd put this in the not datable category for me, personally. Even this phrasing is pretty whack.

Okay, let's put simply.

Would you date a woman you realize would have no trouble beating you up, taking you out at a half a mile with a rifle?

I think it's fine, as long as the person is not paranoid, and is capable of building trust at what I consider a normal depth and speed.

IME, people who have paranoid delusions will eventually have them about the person they are dating. So that's a no-fly.

Yes. Or a man

OTOH, I would not date a man (or woman) who only dates people he/she can beat up. If they need to always have the upper hand physically, then they have issues I don't want to deal with.

And of course we are talking could, not would . The physical ability is ok -- the mental desire to is not!

Walking out the door and avoiding all future contact.

Guarded and combative ... Sounds super fun. I think a good-looking man could pull this off, but if you're female I doubt most men would bother.

Yes.
Both answers are fair enough.

But motivated by that question of those without children, can they be happy, I am one of those people and I do have the full combat suite in sensors, processors, and weapons.

So, I have to wonder, in a world that didn't come from such, how do they view "us"?

Well, two sided world, isn't it?
