Why do I seem to attract military guys?!

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

What kind of girl is the military guy typically attracted to? Is there a type they usually go after? I ask this because most of the guys (and I do mean the majority) who have been interested in me have been military guys. I dont live anywhere near a base. I'm curious as to why this is?

I know this asks for generalizations, but is there a type military guys are usually attracted to?

chigirl agony auntI didn't mean just a hook-up. Just that they don't have particular tastes that I know of, they just like ALL women. Maybe it'd make more sense if you rephrased the question to: "why don't hip-hoppers like me, I'm a serious and quiet woman". Or "why don't flamenco-dancers like me" or "why don't construction-workers like me? or business-men etc, you get my point.

You don't have a problem attracting military guys because no woman has a problem attracting military guys, they go for just about the first and best they see, in general. Some of them are looking for a hook-up if they are just on a week-off or weekend-off, others are currently not enrolled, but studying and they will have other things than hook-ups to look for, but who knows. I think if you want specific answers you must ask about more specific groups of men.

That said, it could be that wherever these guys are studying is a popular place for military-guys who wants to study, and that you run into them because 50% of the male students are military guys. I don't know.

That's like me asking why I attract foreigners, the only long term relationships I've had have been with foreigners... Some things are just coincidental. But yes, it could still be that military guys attract you, without you knowing they are military guys, if they have worked out more than other men or carry a better attitude etc.

I don't think I'm attracting them because I have a thing for military guys (I don't); I find out they were in the military AFTER they talk to me. And I guess I should say that these guys aren't currently in the military, they are students (in university), but they did serve in the military.

What's been written so far says that military guys are looking for any woman to mess around with, but I don't project that image. I'm quiet, always have a serious look (probably more than I need to). I hope they're not seeing me as just a hookup.

Still a conundrum to me.

Well I hate to generalize men in the military--after all, they do serve our country and I am grateful to them for that.

However, as far as their love life is concerned. A LOT of the time they're young guys that party too much and want to get as much of the va-jay-jay as possible. They are always cheating on their wives or girlfriends and the wives and girlfriends are always cheating on them. It's a big dramatic circle.

I dated a marine once and I thought he was the one that I was going to marry until I found out that he had a cocaine problem and cheated on me. Apparently, that's normal. I thought being in the military meant he had his act together, but that was far from it. But that was just one guy out of the thousands.

They probably just think you're a nice, cute girl and maybe you can become wifey status so they can get more money. I dunno.

jajaja yea i myself am a girl in the military going in and i'm helplessly in love with the wonderful man i'm with and honestly i don't have the problem you do. actually none of them hit on me. Total respect because i show that i'm not interested and make it known. I'm pretty satisfied with my hometown soldier and he's wonderful i hope someday he pops out the question but till then i will be patient and hope for the best i mean he's in a hard position because i'm not gonna be around as much but i do love him and as long as i'm true i'm sure he'll be okay and i'll be okay because i love him.So back to the point i think it's because you let them know you like them and they are off into the world without a woman no sex no nothing most of them so of course when they see women they are just gonna be appreciative most of them are very nice because they appreciate but majority of them are just after tail it's like being out in the real world.

Also want to add that these guys didn't seem bad. At least they haven't seemed like that initially (I didn't pursue any of them to know their aims afterwards)

So ANY woman or anything with a pulse, huh? LOL! I'm kind of the reserved, quite type through. I don't know, I've just been wondering why I'm like a magnet to them.

chigirl agony auntHaha, this will sound the wrong way, but military guys to my awareness like ANY type of woman they can get as there's a shortage of women where they usually are.

Nah, I have no idea why you keep meeting men in the military, maybe you attract them because you yourself are attracted to them? Men can spot who are interested in them, and who they've got a chance at it with, from afar.
