Girls would you date a royal marine commando

What you date someone whos trained to kill? Who is Mentally and physically constantly tested and hard to break, someone who has completed 32 weeks of 1 of the hardest military training in the world? Whos been trained to hold his emotions and carry out orders his been given even if it involed killing someone?

What you still date / stay with them even though they could not be around for 6months in a war zone and may not come home?

I know people sometimes degrade soldiers but girls would you not date some because of there job?

My god a soldier would turn me on. :hubba:

Not so sure about the 6 months apart though, that's difficult to deal with.

No I wouldn't marry a royal marine commando. I want to understand my hudband, and I want him to understand me. I wouldn't be able to understand someone who is trained to kill. As is my job, I hope to save lives. I want regular sex and I want to know there's a very good chance they'll come home safe everynight. I hate missing people and I hate worrying about people.

I'm sorry we can't marry.

I wouldn't, not because they're "killing machines" but because I don't like guys that are in the army/marines/blahh in the dating sense.

Likewise, haha.

I think it'd be awful, knowing the guy you love is on the other side of the world being shot at and fighting 24/7. It'd be hard, you'd worry about if you'd ever see him again, I don't know. It's something I really do admire, but not seeing someone you love everyday and knowing they're in such danger everyday would hurt so much.

woww! i see no problem with dating a royal marine commando, shows they are brave & strong & can look after u :smile:

i would find it really hard 2 b with someone while they were gone 4 6 months & i'd be outta my mind with worry
so i dnt think i could handle them goin way all the time but if they stayed over here 4 quite a while i see no problem with it...
it may be that im just weird but id imagine it 2 b a really adventurous relationship :biggrin:

hahaa!

Perhaps its just my experience but ive met a couple of ex-marines in the past and they were very arrogant not very nice people. I dont know whether thats because thats just the kind of people they always were or due to their experiences, training or things they had done and seen, but based on that no I wouldnt. Like I said thats a generaliseation based on 2 people though and of course it depends on the individual.

Ultimatly however the likelyhood is that id not be comfortable or happy dating someone with that mentality or the ability to get into the frame of mind as to where they could kill someone for their job. Id also not be happy knowing they were going off into a warzone, I couldnt build a life with someone- kids for example knowing they were putting themselves into that situation.

I couldn't on the principle of consistency, and that only. I have a lot of respect for them anywayy, and that is very important to me.

The fact they're trained to kill wouldn't bother me. Like Louise said above though, I think some can be a bit cocky (a couple of lads I went to school with are in the marines now) but that it down to the person, I severely doubt all marines are like that.

The short answer being no it wouldn't bother me.

Yes, most definitely. Aside from the fact soldiers turn me on, I had 2 uncles who used to be in marines, got other relatives in the army and so I'm used to the fact loved ones are away and fighting.

I don't think I'd have a serious relationship with anybody serving in the armed forces. Not because of the trained-to-kill thing necessarily but I wouldn't cope well with living apart for months at a time and knowing that they were in a war zone. I also think that being in the armed forces, especially serving in an active war zone can have quite serious repercussions on the mental health of a lot of servicemen (and women) and I think it would be very difficult to help somebody overcome the fact they might have killed somebody, or watched their friend die in conflict etc. It would probably be even harder if they were a Marine as you definitely have to have a certain type of personality or mindset to go in to it, let alone what the experience can do to you, so I don't think I could settle with someone who was. I've utmost respect for the people who can though.

On the other hand, a short term thing... yes, as long as they were good looking and in uniform :wink:

Actually, I was 'involved' with a guy that was training to be a Marine. And one of my closest male friends is training to be a marine. So...generally, I strongly approve of Marines; they're buff, emotionally robust, interesting and extremely attractive. The being away for extended periods of time is a bit off putting, but if I was really into the guy, and if I trusted him not to cheat (and if he trusted me not to cheat), then it wouldn't stop me from wanting to be with him.
In short - Marines = ding ding ding!
