I'm tired of deleting weird ass hate comments..30 +year old femcel and incels, you guys have no eligibility to talk shit about military lol

[Dbtr99]

False , I love men in the military , I think the reason people are afraid to date people in certain branches is because they’re afraid if a war breaks out or something, there’s always a chance they won’t come back.

[Dbtr99]

thanks for mho☺️

[Apple1996]

False. I'm married to a man in the military. His job doesn't make a difference in our relationship

[Asker]

Did he ever get deployed? And thank him for his service from my side..

[Apple1996]

Yes he's been deployed 6 times

[Daniela1982]

Wow! That's like a Long-Distance Relationship. 😯

[Apple1996]

@Daniela1982 not all of his deployments were long. 3 of them were rapid deployments and 2 he got sent home early cuz I was pregnant 😂

[AI Opinion]

True or false? Ah, the age-old question of the heart! While soldiers are often seen as the epitome of bravery and discipline—qualities many find attractive—the truth is, dating or being in a relationship with a soldier can come with its unique set of challenges. Frequent deployments, uncertainty, and the stress of military life can be tough for partners to handle. It's not about respect; oh, we respect them, alright! It's more about the readiness to engage with a lifestyle full of unpredictability. So, it's not that people don't want them in relationships; it's probably more about concern over whether they can handle the roller coaster ride that comes with it. Remember, love knows no bounds, but it does appreciate a heads up on what's ahead. 😉

I do know that police recruit most of their officers from ex-military. So you might wonder why so many people dislike the police then. Police officers have a very high divorce rate. Also if one beats up their wife it is usually hushed up and covered up. But there are a lot of great cops out there too who make great husband and wives. I personally know a few from going to car shows.

[CheeseMonster]

False. I don't respect soldiers. I'm sure a lot of them are cool, but a lot of them are not. And personally I've only known not-cool ones. I don't respect someone just for serving. That's much too vague and not a good indication of their character.

[strateguy632]

it showed they want to "give" and even the most precious "time" much more than average people give or don't give.

[CheeseMonster]

@strateguy632 or they wanted a scholarship, to get out of debt, or just want that kind of job. Even if they did want to serve, doing a good thing doesn't make you a good person. I work cooking for people at an assisted living facility. I "serve" literally and figuratively the elders of my community. I don't think I'm automatically a good respectable person just because I do a good respectable thing for a living.

[bobby_bush_eater]

At 22 what level of courage of you displayed to not respect someone who will fight for your country? You don't have to like them but you should respect them. These are not the same terms.

[CheeseMonster]

@bobby_bush_eater no, I don't have to respect them. As I said even if someone does something objectively good and respectable, that doesn't make them a good and respectable person. Someone I knew personally served in the military during a war, and he also sexually abused a minor (he's dead now, unrelated). Should i respect him for serving, or not respect him for abusing?

[bobby_bush_eater]

Your pointing out an anecdote to discredit the general point here. Obviously not every person who serves is good but we all went through something to be held at a high standard in the defense of this nation. That crime in reality should warrant a dishonorable discharge in any well led unit.

That one man, of course not. That crime is disgusting but you should respect people who have gone through things that you cannot fathom. Still they might not be a good person. You don't have to like someone to respect them. In general you should respect all service members unless you have a reason otherwise like your anecdote. It's a general statement not a literal rule of every last one of them. Instead you expect people to need to prove themselves to you?

[CheeseMonster]

@bobby_bush_eater i respect good people. Being a soldier isn't enough to make you a good person. That anecdote is to prove that general point. I don't disrespect soldiers, I don't distrust them any more than anyone else, and i don't expect anyone to prove themselves to me. Why should they care whether I respect them or not? I don't care if a stranger respects me or not. I care whether I'm a good person—that's why i respect good people. I admire them. That's what respect is. You can't respect someone you don't, at least in some capacity, like.

[Anonymous]

i guess it's because they're afraid to lose them if they died? attachment issues

like if u marry a soldier and u have kids with him and then he goes off in a battle and then he died and leaves u alone with the kids and the responsibilities?

[I_Am_Loner0405]

Women who have a partner who is in the military who tends to be deployed often she tends to cheat. It’s happened so many times it’s become somewhat of a stereotype I think

[Seinna]

I only respect soldiers that defend their own country. As for whether I'd want to be in a relationship with one... that depends. I wouldn't discriminate because of it, but our worldview might clash.

[dustybiker2]

As displayed behavior in response shows as example. People who serve are wired differently than the average citizen. There is an intense and heavily entitled behavior instilled into people trained to be soldiers. Something that works for soldiers but often strains relationships if not willing to compromise in a two way relationship inside the home. Add in PTSD and it makes divorce rates higher. Soldiers dating soldiers probably have better chances as there is greater understanding.

[Anonymous]

Actually to a lot of women soldiers are the perfect man. He's deployed she can spend his income and f*** around all she wants. I worked just outside a military base and let me tell you this is a VERY common tale. Guy gets deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and if he lives he comes back to find his bank account drained by her and her ran through by all his friends. You know because she needed to be comforted while he was gone. Because it was REALLY hard-on her.🤣

[MemeSupreme]

kinda true bc not everyone wants to wait that long and i think everyone's paranoid of getting cheated on lol

I've heard so many stories of army guys being fuckboys if they're in like japan or some shit or the civilian girl cheating with jody lmao

[IslaTheWitch]

I wouldn't mind to be in the relationship with an active soldier :D

[Anonymous]

I’d have no issue dating a guy in the service. But I’m older now. If I was younger I’d worry about deployment and him being away a lot from a young family. I have a lot of respect for the military though.

[Anonymous]

I never heard this. Most military men I know are married and want to marry fast especially before deployment. But being in the military can not save an undesirable man or incel from being single. If you’re in the military and can’t find a woman it’s definitely a YOU problem. Now stop making stuff up.

[Asker]

Calm down

[Opinion Owner]

Truth hurts? 😂

[Asker]

I heard no truth , just some hate comments lol

[Opinion Owner]

I mean because it’s a dumb question 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Asker]

That's why it got featured I guessed

[Opinion Owner]

It got featured because you got a lot of responses big brain. and if you read through them half of them are saying it’s a silly question too

[Asker]

No it got featured when it just had 2 opinions small brain
And no , half of them are NOT saying it is a silly question
Half of them answer the True or false question as "False" .. doesn't mean they hate the question

[Opinion Owner]

Well I do. And most people don’t know where you got this silly conclusion from because it’s not true.

[Asker]

I didn't make any conclusion, I just asked true or false and most people answered without being silly

[Opinion Owner]

But my question is what made you ask this.. you must have never been in the military or else you wouldn’t have 😂 everyone knows Military have the highest marriage rates

[Asker]

No I am not , I'm planning to.. if what you said in the end is true then it's really a good news , thanks

[bobby_bush_eater]

I'm a vet. I thought it actually made it easier to get dates. Especially when I used to use tinder and bumble

[laly520]

wrong
I can understand it could be a challenge to date a one but not to the point to stop being wanted by women

[sheikalana]

The reason why I wouldn't be in a relationship with them is because they spent too much time away and that wouldn't work for me.

[Fuentes]

Being in the Army never hindered me from women? Tf lol

[genericname85]

lol you should come to germany. here soldiers are shunned and frowned upon xD

[FireFox001]

Oh inexperienced people do. But those who know, would not.

Being a carreer soldier is a lonely job. Very few understand this.

[jahaims]

Opinions aren't true or false. Facts and fallacies are.

[Anonymous]

I’ve had male friends in the Air Force and navy, so as a female - I would not want a spouse in the military.

[AngryCarl]

That's kind of a blanket statement, so it can't be true in every case.

[itsclearlynicholas]

She'd crush me lol 😂😆

[Asker]

You soldier/veteran?

[itsclearlynicholas]

No. I'm not into muscly women. I like petite, short, hot women who are a little round in all the right places and they're biceps are soft yet not flabby. Think my own biceps. I don't have muscles lol yet some women might think they're perfect as they are, and no flab/haha 😆😂 no just bone either. I like a woman who's sort of like, hmmm, I can't think of the right celebrity because few celebrities have big natural tits, 20s, caucasian, on a slim short 5 foot frame or shorter lol 😂😆 ah well. Dimensions dimensions aka measurements measurements hahaha ♀️♀️♀️👀😋

[itsclearlynicholas]

Neither do I like women who are too average or too, uhh pudgy 😬 Cringey

[itsclearlynicholas]

(flabby) 😬

[itsclearlynicholas]

I'm a picky bugger 🤣 ♂️ 👔

[itsclearlynicholas]

Or choosy to the yanks would say lol choosy choosey

[Asker]

Great

[itsclearlynicholas]

[JayBones2469]
