Do Girls Actually Like Military Men?

[MrSpine]

Hello! I'm 17 and about to turn 18 in 3 days. I've been thinking about joining the military and my parents know and they convinced me to do it. I thought about it and made the decision that if I don't like any of my college classes this upcoming quarter at community, I'm joining the military. I have pretty much no clue on what I want to do in life. When I told her my plan, she told me if I did join the military, she told me that I should buy a lot of condoms because supposedly women like military men. I thought it was full of shit and this might only be applied to gold diggers. Not only that, I thought that military men also have civilian clothes, so how do women even know that a man is in the military? Not only that, now I think women now are into Tik tok e-boys and stuff. By the way, I've been single for so long and never had a girlfriend and I've wanted one so bad for a while now. I've tried to slide in girls DM's and usually doesn't work out because they are already in a relationship. If girls do like military men, then I need some tips for me to pick up women.

Yes, women like military men

No, that's a damn lie. Women don't like military men.

Well I will say all women are different but the answer is yes. Be VERY careful there are women who will make you want to kill yourself. They are EVIL vile people who will cheat on you while you’re deployed while living off your benefits. Many times when the dude gets out he has 100 kids with her and she files for divorce. I’ve seen these women get absolutely spanked in court and other times I see this poor man who served his country. Loose everything on top of being slandered by his ex wife. Even to his own family members.

There are people out there who use people. A genuinely good woman would never do this. But not all women are who they seem to be. Many women who are evil are very good at putting on a front. They may seem very charming and sweet. But that’s what narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths do. DO NOT have a lot of sex and marry the first chick you knock up.

Don’t focus on just man whoring around because I promise you the dudes doing it now may seem like they’re having fun. Until they marry one of these women and I promise you. They have a miserable future ahead of them

In my experience. Women who lived through a time of war love them, and the others might not really care. It all depends on where you are as well.

I don't like a person because of their job. My boyfriend happens to be in the military. It was someone that I met that I had a real connection with. It's not something that I Would have intentionally gone for. It is difficult being in a military relationship. They're gone a lot. But you do get used to It. Him and I own a house together. So it makes it a little easier knowing that him and I both lived together. And he's fully committed. I have no doubts that he would ever cheat on me. I have never cheated on anybody in my life and I don't plan to because I have been cheated on In the past and it hurts

women DO like military men. and here are a few reasons why.
1. the aesthetics. hear me out here, women love a man in uniform, it looks good. a uniform says you are strong and powerful and work hard (of course you dont need to be in a field with a uniform to work hard, but traditionally - e. g. police, fire, military - the standard is there). this ties into reason 2 which is:

2. a man who is in the military will be perceived to possess characteristics such as devotion, motivation, discipline, and loyalty. a big thing though is that a military man can offer protection and safety and at a woman’s core (most women at least) she wants to feel secure and like she can lay down her defences around a man. there’s a bit of a desire to have bragging rights in a way as well; to be able to show off your partner who is devoted and hardworking and has an incredible and respectable job.

3. not the best but as you brought up, the money. it’s not a secret that with the risk and work that goes into a job in defence, the pay and benefits will be respectable. I don’t know how common this reason is but it’s still a reason.

and 4. the stereotypical look of a military man. this reason im just adding because i feel like it helps but when a woman thinks of a man in the military, we don’t immediately think of those who do cyber security work or intel or those more behind the scenes jobs, we think of a tall, strong man. maybe a man who is built and well trained. this is of course not all men in the military as anyone can join with the right skills, but stereotypically, that’s what an army man looks like.

i have a friend from high school who joined the army and he picked up “barrack bunnies” almost immediately upon joining the army because that’s what happens I guess. imagine a group of predominantly single men and women stuck together for a couple of years. friendships form and it all blooms from there. I think you will be okay OP, as long as you are diligent and make friends with your colleagues there - something will come of it.
Remember, you are all in the military to work though, so if I were you I wouldn’t go around trying to “pick up” women. allow yourself to make those connections first and see what happens. best of luck in your journey!

Depends on the man. The military by designs breaks you down and builds you back up. You either become better or worse. Defects tend to show...
