Well, I DO love a man in uniform…

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

This post is inspired by this post by the lovely Andi of My Beautiful Adventures. Her (very) handsome Argentinian fiance was once a man of uniform- a member of the Argentinian army whose job it was to protect the president of Argentina!

So I have another confession: It would seem that I have a soft spot for men in uniform. Especially foreign men in uniform.

I’m not too sure why. I’m not too sure why a man in professional costume evokes such feeling in me and stirs my soul. Could it be that I like authority? That they make me feel safe, somehow? Could it be that men in uniform are often so very serious and passionate about their jobs?

Whatever the reason, this like of men in uniform typically manifests in me chatting them up (and eventually getting my photo snapped with them). Apparently, as evidenced by my photos, this occurs regardless of time, place, and potential language barriers…

I present to you the following exhibits:


CANADA. This photo was taken in my home and native land, Canada, on a girls’ road-trip to the capital, Ottawa. I mean, a Mountie AND a cutie in a big, fuzzy, black hat?! My friends and I couldn’t resist!


MEXICO. On a trip with a girlfriend to Mexico City, I just HAD to snap these photos.

POLAND. Let’s be clear. I don’t speak a lick of Polish. And these guys’ English was pretty poor. I have no idea what these army guys were doing in the main square of Krakow, Poland on a sunny afternoon mid-week. I don’t know why they had an American flag attached to their truck (cuz, you know, this is, like, Poland). I think they may not have been real army guys, but actors pretending to be army dudes, but I was intrigued by their fatigues just the same (tee hee!). Hence the pics.

On the same day, I had the immense pleasure of meeting these “Policja”(who were actually real policemen):

ARGENTINA. In Buenos Aires I saw this guy (outside of the Casa Rosada, no less!). After this pic was taken, he laughed at my accent in Spanish (muy mexicano!) and made me talk to his other police friend on his walkie talkie:


SWEDEN. In Stockholm, I was too embarrassed to ask for a pic, so I had Liebling sneak and take this one:

MEXICO part 2. Well, I guess this is stretching the concept a teeeny bit. But these Mariachi guys are so cute! And I like the fact that, at 5 foot 3 and a half, I am just as tall as they are.

Hmmm…I think we see a pattern, no? I think it’s pretty clear that I like men in uniform. But what about you, fair maidens?! Do you fancy men in uniform? Why or why not? And why do you think that some women adore men in professional dress?

  • Hahahaha, I'm laughing SO hard, love it! I have some awesome pics of me around the world with men in uniform as well. I definitely think it's sexy that they can protect, or at least we think they can. 😉

  • I tried to get a picture with a police officer in Germany and he was not having it. You must have that special charm and great smile that gets them to take a pic and ignore the man robbing the jewelry store on the corner-ha!

  • omg I love how you just pop yourself into each photo with the guys in uniform! So funny and awesome pics!

    I love a man in uniform too…so much so that I married one 😉 (and he dresses up to guard the President of France..not too shabby!)

  • lol, these pics are so funny and cute! Lots like I'm gonna have to step my game up and take more pics with cops. I've always been kinda hesitant because I thought they wouldn't want to, but I guess now I'm going to try harder!

  • MMM don't we all, love those photos. There's just something about a uniform LOL.

  • For one thing uniforms are immaculately kept and usually are well fitting. Not slobby like the usual guys.

  • I don't think I ever really thought of men in uniforms as hot or not but I do get your "thing" for authority. I like that in small, tiny doses though. However, I had a great smile and chuckle at your photos. Honestly, you are so hilarious and fun. I wish I had courage like you to get pictures like that. I am usually very embarrassed and feel intimidated.

  • these are awesome! you're hilarious. i'm intrigued by men in uniform too but have not yet grown the cajones to engage in an impromptu photo-op. ho hum…

  • @Andi: Agreed!

    @Lei: Really?! What a stick in the mud! Thanks for the compliment, but I think that maybe I've just had good luck in the past. 🙂

    @Crystal: Not too shabby at all!! 😉

    @Ugomma: I totally think you should!

    @Flaming_star: There is, isn't there!

    @Rhona: You should try! It always makes for a good travel story… 🙂

    @Bloguette: Uniform dudes are hot and thus merit a photo-op in my eyes… Thanks for stopping by, and I LOVE that you used the word "cajones"… LOL!

  • This one is good! Get therapy fast! Just joking! I realised after flipping thru a ton of pics recently that I have loads where I'm jumping! It's like my trademark or something. Loving this post of yours!

  • LMAO! ROFL! You are so shameless! 😀

    I like the French army guys, I have to admit. 😉 Kinda scary, but hot.

  • @Opal: Maybe I do need a little help… Guess I shouldn't admit that I used to have a tiny fetish for mascots as well?? 😉 You know what? I do have a few jumping photos- I need to dig those ones up and do a post!

    @Viajera: I know! One day I'm going to get myself in trouble… 🙂
