My dad was a firefighter for 30 years. I spent a lot of time at stations and around firefighters. Here are some things I noticed:
- Most are outgoing and confident
- As stated younger ones stay in good shape
- Good sense of humor
- Great stories/storytellers
For the most part firefighters/military are gonna be masculine take-no bullshit guys to begin with, that's what it takes to do those jobs. Women want to be protected, and that profession projects that. However, most of the firefighters were married?!?

This is my profession. Merc is right. For the most part the young guys are going to be confident guys, they bullshit all day with the guys they work with, and they will have good stories. And a lot of the younger guys coming on are going to be in shape although standards will probably drop lower to aid in women getting on. I'm not saying that women aren't capable of doing the job, but not every woman is capable of doing the job. Having a cool job is just like money or good looks, you can scrape by on it, but if your game is shit your results are going to be shit.
When most people think of cops they think of speeding tickets. When you think of firefighters you think of fighting fire or providing first aid to someone. Everybody likes firefighters.
With all that being said, there is an above average divorce rate among firefighters. If the national average is 50% I believe it is 60% among firefighters. I don't know what it is in the military, but I am sure it is equally tough. I currently have a FF buddy that isn't speaking to me because I flat out told him he was an idiot for proposing to a girl after dating her for 6 months. I mean the odds alone of it not working that fast and in this line of work against half his salary and pension incredible.

RE: Firemen and Game
Because they are bad ass mofos (usually) and save peoples lives. Not that hard to figure out why, they literally have to go through fire and sacrifice their lives for others-protector/provider to a T. Plus imagine being able to tell those stories to a chick...
Her-'So I work in a office...and do paperwork...boss people around....hang out on my computer and do stuff with pinterest in my free time...blah blah blah'
Him-....'Well....on the downtime I just hang out with the guys in the house...but..when we get the call, we have to suit up immediately, head out in the truck with sirens blazing....this one time I had to save a girl while her house was literally falling down around me....and then give cpr to her father after I threw him over shoulder and carried him out of the house.....the look in his eyes when he came too (came back to consciousness) and I reunited him with his daughter...they were crying and just held each other for a minute straight...then he shook my hand and thanked me (or said he'd always be grateful...) ....its the best feeling in the world and beats NOTHING else in this world that I have EVER felt, I live for those moments....blah blah'
-Plus you can easily take that story into life/death, and how much that makes you think about a BUNCH of things you could wax philosophical about-let alone about being ballsy, taking chances, being passionate about what you really care about-etc. All of which are good attractive switches to hit with a girl, let alone make em feeeeel bueno.
-Those are some BAD ASS real stories that women would KILL for. Beats guys doing office job bs stories ANY day of the week. Thats why they are good.
