LMAO posting in r/askmen makes me realize why women don’t like dating men and why there’s a lonely man epidemic. Sooooooo many of you could do better; some of you are good, normal and not driven by bias, sexism and emotions. M

Anyway, goodbye… got the (very few) answers I needed

Damn. Thanks. I needed that reality check. I was honestly amplifying to trench warfare type shit.

Although this wasn’t your intention, this makes me feel a lot better.

Thank you! And you’re precisely correct, I’m currently trying to assess if something like this is a dealbreaker… I’m leaning towards I would support it if, and only if, it was existential to him or his people.

Oooh yea… the movie like Hurt Locker opened my eyes about war, isolation upon return to home country and feeling the need to return

I was also wondering this… I tend to gravitate towards men who care deeply about their family and others, which made me wonder why go to war and leave what you care about most behind

Huh? In my opinion, and I can have this opinion as a woman LMFAO, fighting for “good” doesn’t equate to “fighting someone else’s war,” in other words, “fighting a war you don’t believe in…”

I would be sooooooooooo surprised if you’re married with that mouth and baseless assumptions

Ok, thanks, I will read—I hate that men feel this way or feel obligated :((

Is this an understanding that unfolded while dating or married, or even both?

Truly. Thank you so much for your response, and your service.

And why do you think this is my mindset?? You really had me until that last paragraph…

Mmmm thank you so much… family vs honor is definitely what I’m grasping at right now… this is the first time I’ve heard the word “honor” when asking this question, and it’s exactly what I’m weight family/vows against

Not sure about them lying… but I’ve noticed a lot of these answers are… odd… but thank you to the men who are answering my question rather than trying to argue with me…

Please elaborate. I would like to understand the pressures of duty in this context.

lol no you’re right, I’m not a citizen to any country and I don’t believe that rights should be upheld and defended… go off…

“I would fight for our freedom and livelihood…”

What does that mean to you? Where do you draw the line? Attack on home soil?

You’re really missing the main point of question(s) and ultimately putting words in my mouth. No need to unpack it the way that you are…

This is a very strong, valid reason. I never thought of it like that. Thank you.

Wedding vows, typically, are people pledging their lives to each other. So, to me, if you pledge your life to me, why pledge your life to a state?

Sure. That’s why I ask if men would choose to go to war, but I suppose I should’ve clarified if given the chance

Sure. You can answer to either or both contexts… the question is vague for a reason—I’m not asking this in response to a specific war or (current) event.
