Wardrobe Wire is doing a series on husband hunting. We are breaking it down daily by the type of man you desire. We will advise you on what to wear, anticipate, and where to go in search of your Mr.Wonderful. If you are interested in landing a billionaire, professional athlete, movie star, CEO, politician, or artist, click here.
So, you want to land a Military Man? If you're anything like us, you're attracted to men who carry guns and roll around in mud wearing camouflage. Who doesn’t love a man in uniform?
You have to be a REALLY strong and independent woman to be with this guy. He can be deployed for up to a year at a time. You might have to raise kids as a single mom during this time. There is also the fear of him never coming back. Wardrobe Wire chooses not to focus on that thought, though! Let's focus on landing you an Officer (preferably a highly decorated 4 Star General, but baby steps, my little grasshoppers)!
The wife of a Marine told us that she was wearing jeans with holes and a baseball cap when she first caught the eye of her soldier. Oddly enough, another woman we know said the same thing! This woman actually met her Marine at a baseball game. FYI, he is now a Lt. Colonel.
If you want to meet a military man, you should go to the closest, most laid-back bar within a 25 mile radius of any base (this was advice given to us from an actual Marine). Buy him an alcoholic beverage, and soon you will be caressing his perfectly toned body.
If you have any friends that are married to a man in the military, kindly ask them to set you up on a date. Try attending events like fleet week (remember that episode from “Sex and the City”). Also, try to volunteer for activities on base. Also, GET THIS: there are even online dating websites such as www.militarydate.com that will set you up with your highly decorated man in uniform! Fun!
Look feminine and flirty when hunting for a man in the Armed Forces. He is around stinky, dirty, camouflage clothed, testosterone filled, and hairy men all the time. He wants to enjoy the touch, softness, and scent of a woman. Put on a dress with lace panties underneath. Let him admire your legs, and make his imagination run wild. If your “twins” are your best asset, wear something low cut. All that aside, he wants a woman that is going to be strong, supportive, and positive in order for him to marry her. So, the best asset you can bring is a good attitude, big smile, and some shiny, soft lips for him to kiss. Check out our gallery for outfit ideas!
