a few of my friends from college had been to iraq and/or afghanistan and they were never alone. im going to afghanistan as soon as possible. so far being here has been a waste of time for me. will that change when i get back if im not K.I.A.?

I can't answer that -- outside of being married for awhile, I have no combat experience.

I CAN tell you not to become a writer though. Women apparently don't want to get involved with writers!

Good luck over there, stay safe, and come back!

Personally? It turns me on.

Change your setting to "Intimate encounter" and score tonight

Expecting too much too soon maybe?

Nothing is a for sure thing to getting one a date and to look for the quick fix is really a waste of time.

Work on yourself, be the best person you can be to all humans and one of those humans will turn out to be more than just a friend one day.

That is the best advice I can give.

I know being in Iraq or in any war for that matter would make me less likely to pursue a relationship with a man just because of the damage it does to people to have to go through it.

Also those humans who are gunho for war and can't wait to go are definitely not my type of human for friendship or anything else.

i tried that once on another site and all i got from it was kicked out. anyway i havnt been to afghanistan yet.

dude, just suck it up and pay for a hooker

What combat is going to do to you is give you a whole different way of looking at things. Good or bad it's up to you. Good luck.

Young man, I have been in three wars...Viet Nam, Gulf 1 and 2, and Afganistan.......That will not change your status of being alone, but it will change you.

unless you make it to Olongapo or Phukett

a Thai full body massage might change you

And there's a street in Bangkok that will make a whole new man out of ya.

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

Wow, can't say I'd want to go to afghanistan to get laid!! There's a couple booty sites I know that you can go to if all you want is to get lucky!!

Men are attracted to uniforms too. A woman is sexy in a military uniform.

Now to the question: combat experience? depends on who you date!

Best advice i can give is try dating locally.

Uniforms tend to accentuate the hips, giving the impression of a bigger butt, very sexy.

Yup. Still turns me on.
