hi im just wondering if anyone can tell me why most women dont like to chat with squaddies when they dont even take the time to get to know them. Its really annoying being painted with the same brush as every other squaddie. so maybe the uniform is the same but the people are always different, if anyone can enlighten me please go ahead.

Dont know what to tell you, in the US the uniform makes us more attractive, atleast thats my reaction seeing that women never came up to me, and now when I wear the uniform out, they hit on me left and right, I guess different societies have different views of the military?

My experience with the brittish military (army) was not a good one. All they ever wanted to do was fight, with there own people,you guys would go out in groups and fight anyone that looked the wrong way,that was a few years ago. But on saying that I also worked with some very professional airforce personnel over there. So I can imagine the reputation that follows you around,I know you are all not bad.

Well i agree with young Thomas here. Being a squaddie can make your love life a bit shit especially if you have to live in another country ie Germany. You come home and no girl wants to know you if you say you're a squaddie. Soo you just avoid the subject!

Disagree with the other geezer though, we dont all want to fight! We are highly professional. The best Army in the world!

if you don't want people to judge u based on your uniform, how about try posting some different pics? Obviously you must like the attention you are getting by posting those pics!!
Haven't you learned that the majority of women think a guy in a uniform is sexy? And, if you are finding women that you say "don't even take the time...", well, why would u even care? They are obviously not worth knowing either, if they are that shallow.

If you guys have a reputation that precedes you, not much you can do about it. But maybe you should consider that women realize if you are in the service, you will be away a lot. They could be thinking, why bother, he won't ever be home. Which is a understandable, especially at your age. Give it some time and either the you and the girls will mature, or you'll get out of the service....either way, it'll get easier.

women have a thing for guys in uniforms in general. It's the whole "ultra manly" "macho" image that guys in uniform have going on.... first impressions are ever-lasting!

I've never had issues talking with Squaddies, always find they have plenty to say for themselves, are cheeky and good for a laugh! I speak to a lot of guys like you that get really fed up with it, it's just small mindedness, see if all squaddies are the same, does that mean all nurses are, all shopworkers are etc etc

Chin up, if they don't wanna speak then they ain't worth talking to!

Uniforms are hot. But there is the issue of if you're active duty and what that entails. It's a serious thing to consider.
