Re: Matchmaking Thread (Round Two)
Firemen are beautiful people too.... I happened to be married to one of those hunks as he was a volunteer fireman who was also a Police officer I love men in uniforms there is nothing wrong with them.. There are no fireman pictures posted, why are we jumping on someone just because they were mentioned?
I guess I just don't understand....
Sorry to hop back onto the serious train for just a minute... My first/high school boyfriend became an EMT and volunteer firefighter.
I never saw him as a gorgeous hunk of meat, but rather, as someone who was out risking his life to save the lives of others. That really hit home to me when his partner was called onto a case in which two college-age students were killed and my boyfriend took me to the store where they were killed when it re-opened. He pointed out the bloodstains the owners had been unable to wash out of the carpet because they were in such a hurry to get the store up and running again, as if nothing had happened.
I had a candid conversation with him once about whether people usually die with their eyes open or closed, like in the movies.
He would have said he was just a regular guy who felt a strong calling to serve the public. He had really wanted to serve in the military but was rejected, so to him, this was the next best thing. I don't think it's a matter of not having fun or picking on anyone...
It's just a matter of showing respect to real people who are putting their own lives on the line for the sake of others.
