| | Firefighters... Good, bad, or ugly?Page 3 of 7 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) | eno, wether your a banker or a fireman, it doesn't make one f&$*# bit of difference. It's how you treat others around you, and how you make them feel about themselves that make's you attractive to a women. Its necessary to be a little selfish in life, and it sounds like you've been alot selfish aswell as alot loved. I happen to now a number of fireman whom I've met throughout my life who have girlfriends or wives and several children, you can alway's find time for them if you want to! even if your schedual leaves you with an hour or 10min in a day that's enough time to hold the women you love or make damn sure she know's she's appreciated. Its not the job or title you should be concerned about, it's remembering never to take the ones who love you or you love for ganted. Most Women I know myself included love a man who's passionate and driven, there's a tremendous admiration for your profession and I thank god there are men and women like you who care so much about people to risk your lives for us. We were all born bare ass naked and we'll go out the same way, lady's the uniform doesn't make the man, nor should the man alow the uniform to define who he is! or that uniform becomes a crutch or an exuse to hide behind who he or she really is.
eno, focus on and follow your dreams bb, maybe your not ready for a relationship if your all fire through and through. | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 7:15:56 PM | | In my life I've only gotten to know two firemen well. They are retired and working as delivery drivers for the florist I used to work for. We worked together for over 7 yrs. Both of these men are sexy as hell. Why? Both have been married to their respective wives for 30 plus years. They are darling couples to watch. I respect both of these men greatly. If they are examples of what you get if you get invloved with a fireman, if I weren't already involved with a great guy, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 7:22:33 PM | | As for the question regarding whether a fireman would be less faithful to his women than any other man out there. No! Most if not all fireman i've known are loving family men, who have honour and respect their wives and girlfriends. | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 10:10:18 PM | | Well I think ok he's a fireman so are some of the people closest to me in my family. I think that its a dangerous job but who better to have around. So no it is not a turn off. At least for me its not. | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 11:42:03 PM | First impression - yep, HOT. Partly the uniform - gotta admit it. Although I gotta say, I tend to go more for cops and military men.
However, for me it goes deeper than just that. There is something inherently admirable about someone who does a job in service of other peoples' lives. Now I know not all people who are in uniform are motivated by an altruistic desire to be of service (heck, we're humans - and there will always be folks who abuse their power) but I would bet the vast majority are honestly interested in making a difference in their communities and the world.
One of the most important aspects in any relationship is respect. And as knee-jerk as it may seem, I feel an immediate respect for anyone in community service position (which is often represented by a uniform). | |

What is the first thing that creeps into your head when you learn the man who approached you (online in here or in real life) is a firefighter?
First thought that creeps into my head is I want to thank them for doing such a job and give them a hugeeeee hug for the job they are doing.
I feel strongly about this not just because I have worked close with them but because I lived within a few miles of the World Trade Center and I know first hand what those men/women did and went through. My heart still goes out to everyone that responded and I still feel sorry and shed tears over the ones that lost their lives doing what they believed in.
Some have this misconception that men/women use their uniforms in order to gain points with the opposite sex and cheat on their wives/husbands. Understand that nobody is perfect...these men/women are human being and *To err is human*. They are awesome people but they are not gods and they do make mistakes. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 12:41:26 AM | I have never had a chance to date a firefighter, but I do find firefighters very sexy.
There were particular deeds firefighters have done in my life, that they did not have to do as part of their job. These incidences showed me that they are exceptionally caring people by nature. Not many people would go beyond the call of duty and extend themselves, to help someone else. In all cases firefighters have for me. I am one of those women that always waves at the firetrucks.  
I am sure there are players in every profession, I do not think a uniform makes a firefighter exempt from being a cheater. But I would not paint them all with the same brush either. They are heros in my book, and I would love to date a hero anyday. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 2:20:09 AM | The good part of Firefighters that they go into burning buildings, as we're all running out. They work hard to protect lives and buildings, volunteer for many charities, and kids look up to them as a local hero. They drive a big red truck that has lights and sirens.
The Bad & ugly, there's alot of sexual harrassement claims in my city, with environment that is still dominated by men. I know many firefighters that have gotten divorced and can't seperate what they do for a living in their off time.
The sad part of your job, you may not come back home at the end of the day, or die early due to toxicans you're career exposes any person to in the field.
You have the general public that demands only the best, and it takes the right person to fill the position. We admire the people who do this job, but its not a job that the men and women should do, when they longer feel the passion of saving life or property. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 7:53:46 AM | As has ben already said...men in uniform...YUM!!
If I dated a firefighter, I would expect to get someone who is responsible, dependable and loyal...with a bit of a wild side because I think you are all adrenaline junkies at heart! There is nothing like the "Brotherhood" of professions that put your life in danger all the time.
As for the whole danger thing, when it is your time, it is your time. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 9:18:30 AM | Firefighters, policemen, EMTs, etc., are all sexy in my book, not just because of their uniform, but for the job that they do.
I don't know that I could adjust to the long hours required of a fireman if he and I were dating or married. I would definitely have to learn to trust him, and him me. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 11:33:51 AM | ENO, "peeing on fire hydrants by 2100"...funny...as far as the question about firefighters messin around more?..well who friggin knows..I don't even think there are stats for that..I think what it comes down to is whether or not they are ready for a truly stable committed relationship or not...don't think it matters about the occupation, although men in uniform get more attention from women and therefore MAY be more likely to cheat...but basically I think if he/she's gonna cheat, they're gonna cheat.
The uniforms about heart and helping people...and if they cheat and take advantage of the opposite sex b/c of it well shame on them for giving the uniform that image. Not all are like that.

Posted: 2/25/2007 11:37:53 AM | Considering I used to be in EMS, I was a FF junkie. They do have a nasty reputation for being players (I know you probably already knew that), but hey..most look good in uniform and can throw you up over their shoulders... | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 12:34:28 PM | I have to agree with HOTDAYUM!!!!
I try not to judge someone by what they do... although when I was younger I said I'd never date a bartender! LOL
There are redflags with anyone you meet. I did have a fireman contact me that sent pics through IM on Yahoo because he didn't want me to have actual photos of him. He said that fireman can NOT put pics on dating sites. (which was a redflag) and I said I see them all the time. He gave me some blah blah blah story
He seemed funny. I was very interested in meeting him... but realized he sounded very familiar..... MY girlfriend met a guy online and supposedly he was NOT online anymore.
She thought she was in an exclusive relationship......
Unfortunately, this was the same handsome fireman contacting me...... when he was going to be staying in a hotel with her for a romantical night the next evening........
I didn't see this as a fireman I saw this as a man that has issues!!!!! Unfortunately, when I told my friend that I spoke to this guy twice.... a week apart and that it was the same guy... she dumped me!!!!!! | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 2:16:16 PM | fire fighters are really great guys. there is the thing about putting their lives in danger everyday but it's part of life. i was engaged to a firefighter and know quite a few. the understand the danger and work together to help protect themselves and are trained to be safe. The uniform i agree makes them hot but also the way they have about themselves. and every guy can cheat around i don't think fire fighters do it more.
fire fighters are definatly hot and really great guys.
just so people know i may be a bit biased between the fire fighter fioncee, and that i'm working towards becoming a paramedic | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 3:57:04 PM | I'm an EMT, and I work with firemen due to being stationed with them.
I hate the whole 'love a man in uniform' thing....these guys give up time with families, work, and anything they are doing to come and help the public. No matter what the call. They may be installing a smoke detector, shoveling a sidewalk, checking on an elderly neighbor.....or they may be helping to pry an injured person who is trapped in a wrecked car, getting small children out of a burning house.
As for dating one, it takes a person who is as special as the fireman himself. You have to understand the fact that dinner may have to be eaten later, plans to be held off a bit, middle of the night times where you sleep alone...and that sometimes your man or woman will see things he just can't seem to talk about.
Firefighters are amazingly caring people, willing to give up their lives to make sure you keep yours. They have hearts bigger than their trucks, and a level of caring most people aren't lucky enough to see. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 4:50:07 PM | One study I DO know is that whatever the reputation as players or "dawgs" or whathaveyou, a "study" done by "them" indicated that no matter how bad we are thought to be we're still more trusted than politicians. Phew!
I think most importantly, one of the things I think I should point out is that there is work and then there is play. And as long as men and women are ready to climb on board those trucks and go and do whatever it is that needs to be done, that the impression you have- whatever it is- apply to the appropriate side. Is a player less of a firefighter? (man or woman) Does running out on a relationship make him a coward on the job? Does being a player mean he can't be trusted when things get tricky? On the flip side, does the fact that he dedicates his life to the service mean that the same applies off the job? Is that expected?

Posted: 2/25/2007 5:27:04 PM | I'd have to say GOOD all the way.........
Yes, it could be a little scarey if it turned into something long-term (ie marriage) as your job has you putting your life at risk. However, we are all at risk in life on a daily basis.
Being the daughter of a firefighter and knowing my fair share of men (and women) on the job, it wouldn't have me running away in the least.
Congratulations to you Eno, and ALL POF firefighters for making the decision to put your life on the line protecting the rest of us!
Stay safe!!  | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 6:13:31 PM | Eno... off-topic... just read the story on your profile... *LMAO* I'm "Lady LaughsALot" by the way...
Have you ever considered being a writer? Are you a writer? Can I look forward to a novel from you at some point in the future!
Best wishes! | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 1:08:09 AM | Hi prettygreen- Yes, I do have a background in literary consulting and ghostwriting. I still work in that capacity every now and then but only with really good projects I see promise in. Right now I'm just polishing off a children's book... About an old fire truck of course!
Back when I was ghostwriting as a sole living I would work on things I wasn't too impressed with just for the money. That really sucked away a lot of my passion for writing. Needless to say when a person actually wants to pay you money to write a book about them you're dealing with a class of arrogance most of us only ever hear about.
Glad you enjoyed the story! I enjoyed it as well!

Posted: 2/26/2007 6:57:06 AM | its not the job and its not the uniform its the man inside that...
now i like a man in uniform i also like a guy that does such a manly job but....
that does not mean that i am going to swoon at every fireman that comes my way,there are some hot firemen i have seen and some not so hot in my opinion and if i am not attracted to you even the uniform is not going to change that.
but it can be very much a turn on...that uniform is somthing else ; )
but they cant wear it all the time can they?...hmmm or can they "evil grin"
