    I was contemplating why this is so the other day, any explanations or theories?


    The only thing I can think of is that perhaps it suggests to a woman the guy is orderly or something.

    Nah, i think it has something to do with the good posture and physical shape that generally comes with the uniform.

    That probably sounds like a flippant response but i actually gave it some thought lol, i dated a guy in the army once and he looked damn good in uniform, but he looked good in everything because he was in excellent physical shape

    Police officers aren't always in shape though but I think the uniform thing pertains to them too.

    true story: i once had a girl hit on me because she liked my pizza hut uniform.

    of course, i think she left the bar to vomit shortly afterward.

    I don't have that problem.

    I'm so in love with me, that if I hooked up with a woman that would be like cheating on myself.

    Sorry ladies, I'm taken.

    I was looking for something a bit more explanatory about the general phenomenon, as I don't share that same sentiment about men in uniform that a lot of women and apparently you do. I see uniforms, particularly the ones generally mentioned as a symbol of conformity. I found some info, granted it's from a blogger, but perhaps it provides some further insight...

    I have a job and even do a good amount of physical activity for it, although on occasion, I'll go rogue and won't wear my work shirt. I'm part of a startup company though, it seems like something about the uniform in the context of well established institutions is part of the appeal.

    Maybe it's the stability of these institutions which goes in part with the perception of the 'safety and security' aspect mentioned by Raymond above.

    I am OK with being single forever now. Something in me has broken, and now I'm just kind of numb to it all. But I'm not depressed. I dunno, I've just failed so many times I stopped caring. The worst part is just not having an outlet for sex other than porn, but I guess that's totally a first world problem.

    Having a wife makes dating really hard. LOL
     
  18. I'm thirty-six and I've never been on a date. I don't know...I guess I never needed that confidence boost that a woman can provide. I'm interested in women, so nowadays I'd like to go on a date. I have tinder...just figured out you can just keep sweeping right until you make a match. But I don't know...I'm really looking for somebody special. If I hooked up with just anyone I know I'd be lying to myself and her and I don't want to do that. Pretend she's really special to me when she's not. I know for some guys every girl is a dream...I can understand that. All girls are pretty special, they just aren't all my type I guess. The work I do sucks and I barely make any money. I understand that's what many women want, but I just don't care. I'm not looking for that life of normalcy that most people seem to be after. Just getting a decent job to appease some woman's fantasy...whatever. There are more serious things to think about.

    Relationships are not for everyone. Also, the culture that you've born into may not necessarily suit you.
