I have a perfect excuse to get fireman to wave at me as my son the minute he sees a fire engine frantically waves and of course as he is little they wave back. I personally love a man in uniform and I know of lot of others do to, why is this do you think? Men you can join in too and it is common knowledge that some like nurses uniforms etc so not just a question for the ladies here. Ellie :D

I've wondered about that too. I think about the firemen, policemen, military men, and I think my first guess would be that we crave security, and men in those positions sure give the illusion of it, even though we don't know them from Adam. That is just my theory, but I'm glad someone else besides me can admit they love a man in uniform!

Hi AmbiePam, Can't quite put my finger on it but yes there is definitely something about a man in a uniform. Perhaps it is the hero bit, protectiveness they appear to provide, but I sure like them whatever it is. LOL. Ellie :D

I honestly don't know what it is about a man in uniform, but it stirs something in me and leaves me wanting more! I used to live in S. Florida and during Memorial Day Weekend, there would be Fleet Week, when the armed services would host their annual air and sea show. It was also the time when a lot of the Navy ships would dock and the area would be crawling with sailors in their cute little uniforms. While it's not quite the same as a fireman or a paramedic, there is just something about a man in a uniform that does it for me and so many other women. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's something, huh? :D

You guys are going to have me following every man in a military uniform I see. I wonder if they'll arrest me for stalking, or just drooling, which is not an attrative feature, but hard not to do if you're staring at a man in uniform.

LOL Drooling may not be the most attractive thing to do in front of men in uniform, but when the hormones take over, what can you do? Yesterday afternoon, I went out with my step-mother to do some shopping. Quite a few cars were pulled over because of car trouble, and I will say that the Lexington, KY police officers respond very well to stranded motorists. I kept asking my step-mother why WE couldn't have car trouble, just so I could admire those officers in uniform?!? LOL She just shook her head at me and laughed. Drooling isn't attractive, but DARN those men in uniform!

It is strange, perhaps it is the hero type thing and us women wanted to rescued in some way by them, I really don't know, but a uniform does it for me every time. I work at a marine camp so I see many a uniform daily. I wonder why I chose a job there eh! LOL. Ellie :D

There is something in Fireman. They are always good looking guys with great body. 8 out of 10 look very good and can work as models as well... In fact, many do double jobs.

Oh I agree with you here they are just so hunky, I suppose because they have to be so physically fit but it is true the majority are all good lookers also. I don't mind my son waving at all as it gets me a wave too LOL. Ellie :D

Uniforms are alright but for me it's always been a guy in a cowboy hat! I love the stetsons and the way men look in them. Then there's a guy in a kilt...another handsome site...If I can find myself a kilt wearing Scot that is willing to wear a cowboy hat I just might rethink my never again ideas! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I think, it's the chivalry or courteousness that the men in uniform possess. Women are always charmed by this kinda gesture from men. And the men in uniform never cease to display it.

I really don't understand this phenomenon because it's not ALL men in uniform. It's the guy with the gleam in his eye and the set of his shoulders and the way he stands and walks. It's allure and attraction and lots of things really...if he's got a nice smile as well ...I'm in lurve!

Hi MsTickle, Oh yes the guy with the gleam in his eye is a dfinate must too, in fact thinking about it the way anyone presents themselves is important, if they ooze confidence they attract. I still love a man in uniform though LOL. Thanks for sharing. Ellie :D

It might be true that some men like nurses in uniform but not this boy-o. I'd rather be in uniform, any uniform and have moms like you wave at me. I would wave at the little cute little kids but keep an eye out for the pretty mamas. Would you wave at me in a Salvation Army uniform? Hmm..

Well, Ellie, I think it's something about the air of power and dominance which emanates from a man and woman in uniform. The very idea of a uniform in its original military format was to exude confidence and intimidate an enemy. I think women police officers are very sexy and look forward to being arrested if you can arrange it for me?
@ellie333 (21016)
24 Jun 08
Hi Michael, Well I'm not the enemy so I just think they are sext to me LOL. I can't imagine you being naughty enough to ever be arrested by a female officer Michael so you'll just have to imagine being eh! I hope you had a lovely holiday and have come back refeshed. Ellie :D

As a police officer of several years, I can't see what attracts you ladies to one of the most uncomfortable outfits to wear. I wonder if it's something to do with being brought up to respect positions of authority. As one gets older this can turn into crushes on people like teachers etc. Clearly uniforms make some of the establishment stand out. Could be a throwback to our teenage days. Heck, who cares, i'll continue to enjoy the adoration and attention lol

Oh yes if I were you I would adore the adoration too! I think it is perhaps that they are usually far more physically fit as the job is usally one that requires fitness and also the proective hero type person that people look up to. I know it works for me seeing a man in unform. Thanks for sharing your perspective on this one and keep enjoying the adoration even if it is in an uncomfortable uniform eh! Ellie :D

I love a man in uniform also. they look so ruggely sophisticated and macho. My husband used to be in the Army for 17 years before we met. I never got to see him in uniform but I have seen the pictures. I love a man in uniform because they look very handsome in most scenarios.

Hi Steph, A uniform does add to the attractiveness of a man I think thats for sure. Oh thats a shame that you never got to see him actually in his uniform other than in pictures, but you got to marry him wow, lucky you. Ellie :D

I think it's the sense of responsibility that comes hand in hand with wearing a uniform. People who wear it seem more responsible and ideal compared to those who are in normal clothes. I for one actually prefer a guy is a suit and tie. Guys who are dressed this way make me swoon because the attire connotes power and authority. :) I never noticed how guys like nurses' uniforms but now that you mention it, it may be true!

Hi Mimico, I think guys like a woman in uniform too, policewomen and nurses but I made a mistake in header by asking ladies only to share so we just won't know now I guess. Yes a man in a suit is just as attractive too. Thanks for sharing. Ellie :D

I start to melt whenever I see a guy in a uniform. I think a lot of it comes from the fact that guys in uniforms are usually in better shape then average and more responsible then most. Police, Firemen and military all have some kind of physicle training to go through so you know they are in better shape then most people are. A lot of them get paid better then average too! That sure doesnt hurt. Cheers, Tianna
