Problem is people copy us, so women don't always believe that I actually AM a soldier.
Also, the women I go after are not the I love the army crowd. They are left leaning humanists, powerful, independent women.
They help me repress what I consider the worst of my military traits. At least the worst ones for living in society. |
I can definitely see how the army image might be a problem for you given your attractions. Sadly, a lot of left-leaning women are just as prone to stereotyping as their right-wing counterparts. Sometimes they are really hard-line in their politics, other times they simply do not know. I admit, at one time I belonged to the latter category, I really had no idea of the wide diversity of people who enter military life. But, a number of years ago I met some really great guys who had been in the army, and they shifted my perceptions considerably. Now I figure that the military is like any other human institution, you have good people and there are those you'd happily toss into a pit full of hungry crocodiles.

I admit I probably wouldn't watch a "modern man" competition, at least not by myself. Guys don't like being belittled, watching men who are stronger faster and smarter then them.
"So your an ex navy seal who now practices child oncology? And you are ruggedly goodlooking with women fawning all over you?"
I'd love that show...
Ratings aren't there. Women are pretty to watch for both genders. I would not be interested in a bathing suit contest.
A ring match however...
Is a man's ability to fight related to his hotness?

lol! This is what I mean though, when we apply the same standards to men in things like this it takes on a ridiculous aspect. The question is, why?
Why should we not judge men by how they look in a speedo while taking a walk on stage, why shouldn't we form opinions on their worth based on their contributions to a community?
Perhaps our rating men for their ability to fight is that old alpha male horn bashing thing combined with women checking for healthy mates???
