I have a thing for women with authority. I believe in equality in relationships. A chick who is too passive, who never takes charge of a situation and who waits for me to make all the decisions makes me feel more like a parent than a boyfriend. I’ve never had a serious relationship with a military girlfriend or gone out with a police officer or anything like that, but I’ve always had the idea sitting in the back of my mind. I know military dating isn’t for everyone, particularly because of the long periods of physical separation due to overseas missions, but soldiers have somehow managed to balance work with their personal lives for years.

Back to my main point though, I think anyone searching for military singles has got to be someone who looks for a partner they can respect. I find this very appealing. For me, there’s nothing more unattractive than a gal who acts like a princess. You know the type. She sees herself as a commodity, an expensive one at that. She thinks that just because she’s got a vagina and a pair of breasts that guys will do anything for her, buy anything for her. Worst of all, this royal attitude prevents her from ever lifting a finger for anyone else, let alone herself. A relationship is work, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not slavery.

If these princesses succeed in finding their Prince Charming, I’ll be the first to wish them all the best. However, I’m nobody’s personal servant. Again, I don’t want to mislead you into thinking that I’m a totally selfish prick. Far from it. When I fall for a woman, I’ll do pretty much anything for her, but if she isn’t into me in the same way, I lose interest pretty quick. I guess the thing that draws me to authoritative ladies is that with power comes responsibility. I consider the fact that they take their careers seriously I good indication that they’ll take a relationship seriously, too. Which leaves one question: where are the hot military babes?
