Ok. I don't know who said that Alaskan men are Better then anywhere else, because I didn't meet any that worth something. I'm not interested in army guys...

Lady you should show some interest to those army guys. They are away from their loved ones to help protect your life and freedom. I don,t know if you were taught anything in school--but during WW2 ,Alaska had a war on its soil and lost alot on good unselfish men so that you could enjoy your freedom. So please,the next time you see a army,navy,air force,marine,coast guard on any resevre or national guard------please remember---------you wouldn,t have ANYTHING IF IT WASN,T FOR THEM. Please show them some kindness. Thank you

Which means she probably shouldn't spit on them in the streets but it sure as shite doesn't mean she has to screw them, date them, or marry them. Women are not the chattle of the military and are quite free to decide what they do and do not like and even more so in Alaska.

I have never asked someone to like me. Hell, half the time I don't expect them to, esp after acting like an ass. I agree though that woman are not the cattle of the military, but that being said, should all the military members be treated for the acts of the rest? Not everyone is a looking to fornicate anything with a heartbeat!

Well, since you asked : no but your question has nothing to do with what was said. The person doing the original posting said she didn't like military men and she has a right not to. She didn't say it was related to acts they committed or anything else.
Then some guy tells her that she should give them some attention because of the acts that some other military guys did do in the past and etc.
Well, no, she shouldn't. In fact, if she doesn't like military guys, it's just as well for them and her if she doesn't give them attention because they should be with someone who likes them and she should be with someone she likes and all of them have the right to freedom of choice .. regardless of who did what for whom

Well, it's different if she meant she doesn't like Army guys but she might like, say, Airforce guys. But considering how many Airforce guys are in Alaska, I'm assuming she meant military in general.
And the thing is, it could mean she has religious issues with the military or it could mean she only likes long haired guys. Or whatever. But whatever the reason, or however shallow or not, she has the right to choose not to like army guys for the purpose of dating, etc. Which was my point.
A woman saying "I don't like army guys" is a lot like a guy saying "I'm not into redheads" more often than it is "All army guys are baby killers. Look at Viet Nam."
That one dude had a reaction like it was more the other way around, like she was insulting the entire military institution and saying they never did nothing for nobody and kind of implied that she should just put out for them in thankfulness. It was weird.
Of course, some of that may be the differences in "language" between men and women too.

lol I guess, basically What she said could be taken a lot of different ways but it's not necessarily insulting to anyone It's just a stated preference unless she comes back and adds to it by way of explaining what she doesn't like about army guys or why she doesn't like them .
I don't like army guys, as far as dating them. It doesn't mean I look down on them, that I think they never did anything for anyone, or whatever .. there is a certain sort of mentality that goes with being a soldier, especially a good one, and some people don't like it.
Good thing that there are different personality types in the world though, yes? I mean, what if all women only liked soldiers? We'd have no PC's or cars because Hentry Ford and Bill Gates would have gotten their asses shot off over in Bumf***, Egypt or somewhat just trying to get laid! lol

Dating guys in the military has it's own set of realities, especially now days. If all some woman, or respectively, man, is looking for is a dinner companion, or dancing buddy, or a good time for a few rolls in the sheets, then, heck, mosey on over to the Howling Dog and sign up for midnight volleyball.
Usually though, most women, (generalizing here) are looking for a longer term relationship. When you date guys in the military, reality is that they are likely to rotate out at some time. If they stay in the military as a career, tours of duty can mean moving every 1 to 3 years. Not everyone is cut out for that lifestyle. Being a military spouse is tough. Some people don't do well with uprooting themselves, others have difficulty with a spouse being gone for long periods of time.
A big factor, that has got to be addressed is that when you get involved with a military person, they have the very real potential, as part of their job, to be killed. These aren't only specific to military personnel, of course. Long haul truckers are often on the road for a week or two at a time. Commercial fishermen, especially the crab boats, etc, up in Alaska, can be out for 3 or 4 months in dangerous, deadly conditions. Police officers have the potential to face violent situations daily. It takes a special kind of person who can truely understand and appreciate the lifestyles associated with each of these choices.
Another aspect that might draw someone to date those in thes jobs is that they do offer, usually, steady benefits, fairly good money, and often a built in support system. Some people are attracted to that kind of social and financial security. Don't be surprised when that kind of security is underlying your partner's needs in the relationship. Having a "good provider" to the family, again, both male and female, provides a sense of safety in the world.
All in all, different strokes....you know. Just an opinion as to why some people don't want to date military.
