Men In Uniform

[superbadgirl]

So, yesterday on the way to the bus stop, I walked past some sort of medical emergency. I think poor homeless Harry fell down and hit his head or something. Those details are hazy. What's not hazy, though, is the fact that three of the four firemen on the scene were hot. And the one that wasn't hot wasn't ugly by any means.

Is it the uniform that makes guys hot, or do hot guys just go for jobs that require uniforms and therefore amp up their hotness level? Or are they just average looking guys and it's the uniform itself that's so freaking hot?

It's my belief that uniforms up the sexiness notion by a factor of 2, perhaps 3 depending on the type of uniform.

[superbadgirl]

I wonder why that is. It's true for me...

What is, a fetish?

[superbadgirl]

Is it really a fetish? Yeah, I suppose it is, even if it appears to be a fairly common one. This is so bad - I remember when the bloke in #318 died and I rode up the elevator with the ME guy (in uniform), I was tempted to do more than just look. Talk about inappropriate.

I cooled myself off by remembering how in that very elevator, another man in uniform calmly told me he'd love to jump me. Uniform was that of a pest control guy, and, not surprisingly, unappealing. Guess it doesn't always work. ;)

Factor 3 if it has velcro fasteners.
O:)

Easy access: always a plus.

Next time you see a hot guy in a uniform, kindly ask him to take it off so you can report the results back to us.

Oh, snap! Why didn't I think of that? That way, I'd not only determine it about firemen, but then I'd get the chance to ogle the cops as they dragged me away. ;)

Maybe I should just trip, fall and sprain my ankle on a busy street and test the theory that way.

Man, I'd be so busy at the War Museum doing that, I wouldn't get my job done! *giggles*

Y'know, when we had the observation for the ending of the Korean War back in July and the vets were out in their uniforms, even though they're old guys now, they still had that... je ne said quoi! Hotness... elder hotness?

[superbadgirl]

I like little old men anyway. Put one in a uniform, I'd probably explode from the cute.

Oh, it was cute bordering on HAWT with a few. One guy, who's an absolutely sweetheart... just picture a taller Jack with a babyface and a lovely smile. I think he was 18 when he went to Korea.

The uniforms really add something, it's true.

[superbadgirl]

It's ridiculous, really. There haven't been any emergencies at the low-income place across the street lately. I, uh, spend way too much time peeping through my blinds at the hottie firemen. ;)

With dress blues and so on, it makes sense: those uniforms are designed to look smart, so they make the people in them look great. (I think wearing uniforms works on women, from what I've observed, too.)

But fireman uniforms are just dumpy and practical. I have no idea why it seems to look good.

But it does seem to me a lot of these guys are actually just better than average looking.

Navy polyester (it's probably cotton, though - can't imagine firefighters wearing a material that's likely to melt onto their skin) doesn't really do it for me on its own...

It must be a job requirement or something. ;)

Maybe the real reason gays aren't allowed in the military is then they'd realize everybody alreay IN the military is gay, which would explain their interest in expertly costuming good-looking men. :D

Maybe firemen are just "hot".

Oh, that was so bad I'm just going to throw tomatoes at myself.

I'm going with a combination of factors:

1. They're required to be fit, so nice!
2. They wear tight t-shirts under the uniform (see point 1.)
3. They're trained to interact with the public.
4. The uniform inspires trust (and lust)

win/win!

When seanchaidh and I were in Ottawa last year, there was a fire alarm. We stood in the lobby and watched this very cute, baby-faced fireman. He was definitely eye candy.

[superbadgirl]

That is a nice list. All points are valid. I especially like the last.
