Why are military men undateable?

[Anonymous]

I can think of so many reasons why: But I would like to know everyone’s opinion.

I would believe some issues that people may have with army husbands is that;

- Long deployments and to various war zones.
- Possibility of being moved to different bases/location without having the option to say no.
- Maybe not wanting to be with someone who theoretically have to kill someone.
- The military’s negative reputation especially in the US for treatment towards women and hyper masculinity culture.
- Not comfortable with guns or being with someone who uses and owns guns.
- Not wanting to be part of the military significant other lifestyle.
- Seen a lot of reality of military men suffering from PTSD and too afraid that spouse may have it.

lol they are not undateable.

a lot have high paid technical jobs with very good post military employment. Not all are constantly deployed, if they are it’s often on short detachments, Northern Europe the main one at this morning or Cyprus. Due to overall fitness requirements the vast majority have decent bodies, fit n healthy.
Those technical jobs require good qualifications, including degrees and or HNC levels.
Saying they are undateable is a very narrow view of military life and I guess specific to a single country.

There's plenty of people who will date them but personally I don't think it's for me.

I would be uncomfortable with the possibility of him being deployed to a warzone or being gone for long periods of time. Some of them also have PTSD (not that I'm shaming having it but I don't want someone lashing out at me, which can happen).

Plus I hear that many of them cheat

They are gone too much. Women need attention so they will most likely cheat out of "loneliness" and men need sex so highly likely he would cheat too.

I wouldn't say they're a good fit for every woman, but undateable? No. And I had plenty of gfs when I was in the military.

Their careers they put it first. They are very prideful people it’s their way or the highway. They don’t want to be slowed down in anyway. Most are just looking for a good time on their day off very few want to settle down

[patois]

Because they won't give you the time of day. If they never ask you out, you can't date them.

[DrPepper12]

Because they are tired of hierarchy and following order my people that they think are morons all day long. They wanna be the shit when their home.

They can be away from you for long that you can't control your sexual urges and end up cheating
Men cheat too? Yes but not possible in a warzone

They’re dateable if you don’t mind trailer trash drama 🤣
