| Military Groupies | Login/Join |
| Member |
I now know they exist. I have seen "An Officer and a Gentleman" and my parents met at a dance on base but I really didn't imagine that there were actually women who hung out at bars with the sole intent of finding a military man. What do you do when you encounter a woman that seems to be hunting for a uniform? I overheard a conversation between women coordinating this weekend to find themselves military men. I wanted to ask if they sought military men because they perceived them as making a lot of money, or if they were enamored with the uniform, or-- heaven forbid-- wanting to play the martyred, stoic military wife awaiting the return of her soldier. Have you ever encountered the military groupie? Do you believe they are harmless? | ||

Nothing wrong with having groupies but don't you find it uncomfortable knowing that a woman has zeroed in on you because of your uniform? It just strikes me that if the only thing that attracted her to you is your uniform then you have a really shallow relationship? Heaven forbid but what if the husband is injured and returns home and discharged, will she leave him because he no longer is in the military? | |||

Relationship? LOL I guess you could call it that!  | |||

I've ''heard'' about these females more than I have met them. I don't know why they would be scouting military men out at this time, for obvious reasons. The women I knew, and myself(before marriage) just happened to be surrounded by military guys,so the odds of dating them were greater. Maybe they watch too many movies and think this life is a glam life or something, who knows?! "It is the weak who are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong" -- Leo Roskin | |||

Very true and happens all the time. I waited a long time to marry the woman I married and she wanted me to get out. | |||

I must admit that DH's uniform does have a special appeal for me- but that may be because it's the only thing that fits him decently. Seriously, servicemembers have a reputation for being responsible and loyal, and the PT may help things along a bit. When I consulted a friend of mine about DH's proposal, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard he was a servicemember, and told me that character-wise, he was a cert. How I met him doesn't really come into the equation- he read my articles and hunted me down. | |||

I've been accused of being a groupie many times. I don't see it that way. Who in their right mind would want to marry a man who is always gone and always in danger? But now that I've found my soulmate and he happens to be just that, what can I do but love him and be proud of him. My fascination is with all things military. I've grew up playing army with the boys, watching war movies, hearing war stories...it's always been my passion. I feel much the same about football, but don't going looking to marry a football player. Now having said that, I hold the utmost respect for the men...AND women who serve. There are a few things in my life I regret. Not serving is my biggest regret. So call me a groupie if you want. Doesn't bother me. I know who I am."Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you". - Dennis - 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail'. | |||

Considering the generous divorce split along with commissary & medical privileges and the short amount of investment time needed plus you have some young men that are away from home for the first time and for the groupie she knows that there will be frequent deployments, (so she can still have fun on the side), and a fairly nice insurance benefit. Not really all that bad, for her. | |||

tab chasers are great as long as you do not give them your last name. (or your real first one for that matter.) If you need to brag about it, you're probably lying. | |||

The problem with military groupies is that you might meet a soldier you know coming out as you're going in. Or, like in one case that happened to me, her husband came back a month early from TDY as a "surprise." You can bet your azz it was!! | |||

It sometimes works out though..... Pardon me for being a bit indelicate.... But a young E-2 in my command met one groupie while she was being the filling in a two sailor sandwich.  She must have been his first, because he decided he was in love and going to marry her. Everyone tried to talk him out of it, but he did it anyway. Last I heard, they had 3 kids, and she was treating him like a King. Go Figure..... I guess each has to follow their OWN heart......

Out in some parts of California it's not the husband they want so much as someone with steady income to blame their baby on. (see PBS' "Carrier") | |||

You'll see that everywhere, as you'll see women looking for someone with a steady job who knows his rear from his elbow. | |||

There are a lot of wannabe men who are more notorious groupies than women are. At least the women are honest about it. | |||

A lot of marriages exist because of the groupies - and so do a lot of divorces. A man in the military is clean when in uniform and has a professional carriage. Confidence is unbelievably sexy. That the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard have great tailors doesn't hurt the cause helps, too. Some of us grew up in a time when men went into the military and the rest headed north to Canada. But I don't think my generation of women were "groupies." I married a soldier but I met him in civilian attire. Dressed, undressed, uniformed, in civies - he was hot!!! It was one heck of a ride for 25 years. But I was NEVER a groupie - much less a military one. I fully expected that I would grow up and marry a professional - as in doctor or attorney. That didn't happen and I doubt that it's going to happen now. Wouldn't go back to the 25 years left behind but don't regret them one bit either.  So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. - Green Day | |||

Yes, our generation did have groupies in this country, but they were after hippies, not soldiers. A lot of guys only went to protest rallies and such to get laid. They were social events and an opportunity to meet groupies far more than they were political statements. | |||

Absolutely ... If you are going to San Francisco, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you are going to San Francisco, You're gonna meet some gentle people there For those who come to San Francisco, Summertime will be a love-in there In the streets of San Francisco Gentle people with flowers in their hair NOT of a military groupie generation ... Didn't meet the ex- in San Francisco though either kit . So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. - Green Day | |||

Size is relevant to a lot of factors - so is how much depth is needed. I am told that it only takes 1-1/2" to drown a person under correct circumstances - now that is darn shallow. So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. - Green Day | |||

Yeah, but how much use is a 1 1/2 inch pecker? | ||

One would have to ask John Wayne Bobbitt to get an honest answer, I suppose. So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life. - Green Day | |||

I wonder how many I think that the people with the shortest peckers are probably the people who can't help but point out that, "anybody who did anything that he didn't have the looks or confidence to pull off", must have a short pecker. | |||
