Hello, I'd usually start by introducing myself with my name but im not going to do that today... but I'll tell you the rest of my lifes story. Or t least part of it. I'm currently a young woman in my 20's and pushing myself through college. I have had my fair share of ex boyfriends, passionate high school sex , and all of that other drama that comes with high school relationships. The first boyfriend Ive had since i got out of high school was my ex boyfriends best friend. to be honest i didnt feel guilty about dating his best friend because the ex was a douche anyways. but this new relationship i had was fun.... until i noticed how much weed he smoked. i hated it. he would be high at every date we had. every time i tried to watch a movie with him... he would sleep because he was too high. i started to hate the smell of weed.. the way people look when they smoked it. so i broke up with him and i found this military guy. he was great and he was the first guy ive ever met who didnt smoke weed because he was in the military of course! so that guy and i didnt work out for whatever reason. then after we broke up i found myself only seeking military men. thats it. i refuse to date any one else. is that normal?

    It's normal, I guess. I've dated people in the military, and civilians. The military- in general- pushes a certain value set and attracts a certain type of person. A lot of people in the military value certain things, like responsibility and timeliness and traditional family values (I can't say whether that's pushed on them, or whether the military attracts that type of person).

    Anyways, if you look towards the military, you will find a lot of good men, people with discipline and integrity and values, and people that are willing to make sacrifices.

    Having said that, you should be aware that the military attracts a lot of people that aren't mentally stable. The whole training process is supposed to weed this out, but sometimes it doesn't. There are people in the military that are overly competitive, violent, racist, etc. there are also people in the military that suffer psychological disorders as a result of combat that can make them violent or cause substance abuse.

    All I'm trying to say is this: do not idealize people just because they are in the military. Some are amazing men who deserve admiration; some are not; they are all human. You have to look out for the same types of problems you would with a regular boyfriend. Being military doesn't necessarily make someone a better person; sometimes it makes someone into a horrible person.

    I've dated a few military guys or ex-military and they were ok. Some better than others. And being in the military doesn't stop them all from smoking weed.

    I would never date a military man. They're part of the problem.
