Why we girls like a military man. He can cook, sew, and make beds, is in good health, and already used to taking orders. I wish I had married a Military man; If so, I may have not gotten a divorce. I would love to have a Retired Military man now. Bah. Don't fall for the stereotypes. My dad was in the army, and he's lazy, rude, irritating, and generally someone you don't want to be around. My mom complains about it all the time to me. FWIW, I can sew, cook, and look good in uniform-and I'm a martial artist. I've thrown around military men like rag dolls in judo class.

I do not favor military men over others...in career military I would not be interested in as I would not be interested in that lifestyle...though the men themselves I have nothing against.

From what I have heard about Military Men..I don't think I would want one. They do look good in uniform but they are to controlling for me! Hmm, never seemed to have that problem with military men. I found civilian men more controling than military men but then again military men are smart enough to know I won't put up with the crap. Unlike civilian men though; they won't run from me.

LOL Mind you the only orders I would give is take off your clothes.

Why do I like military men? Or if I was directing my deeply loved sons/grandsons to pick a military woman; as the case might be? Because by and large my experience with them is as follows. They value life and know how to be active, play, and think life with other's is doable and fun. They have the maturity, responsibility, and determination to stick with things that need to be done even if it takes personal sacrifice. They are loyal, team players, and defenders. They know how to express their opinions and critcal information in a diplomatic, professional, and concise way. Even if they have not been blessed with happy families or secure homes they value that highly and often provide it to wives, children,parents, and siblings with pride. And they hesitate nothing when it comes to shareing in a crisis. They know how to bloom where they are planted and don't have to be dragged out of bed or worry about getting tired, dirty, or even hurt if it means a good job. When allowed they are actively willing to help in the community; not so often saying why, but a why not me. Most have a profound faith that put into action and sweat equity more than retoric or show but when they do it is respectful. While they may or may not have have great health they will patiently and bravely endure nessecary treatment and worry more about function than beauty. And yes while they know how to give and follow orders usually they bestow the rank of spouse and parent the highest honor, support, friendship, and affection. And when they age and die they try to do it for a purpose and with grace and dignity. And sorry as handsome as they look in their uniforms some of their best work is done out of them....:')

I sure wish they hadn't shut the base down here in Calgary. I really do connect with military men and the fact that they have served in close quarters with women; they understand me way better than the average civilian. About the only civilian guys I seem to hit it off with are firefighters, RCMP, and local cops but they are all married; however have made some great friends of these guys.

If I wanted a man,(which I don't) it would be a man who is not pretending to be helpless and can actually take care of himself and does not expect to be served and waited on hand and foot by his wife. A man whose masculinity is not threatened by washing the dishes or cooking a meal or making a bed. As the drill sergeant says: Yo mamma is not here to do this for you. I would want a man who does not expect his wife to be his mamma.

So once we hang up our uniforms and leave the military you have no use for us?

So you gave up all that you learned and no longer know how to make your bed, cook, or follow orders? Or you just decided to hell with all of that training, now you just want a mommy. ? LOL

My father was in the navey, and he still expected my mother and everyone else to wait on him at home. His job was going to work. I get that. But even after he retired.... he was helpless. He totally would not do anything in the house. That was his wife's domain. He did work outside a lot though. There were jobs for men and jobs for the woman. Never the twain shall meet... That was the last generation's way of doing things.

Nope, I like a clean environment and it embarrasses me if the house is not ship shape when friends or strangers arrive. So I do my own housework. I learned to cook and my kids survived it, hehehehe.
