I’m wondering how many posters are veterans, peacetime or combat. Regardless of country. If combat, please mention theatre, if so inclined.

"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Are you a Military Veteran?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hi Fruitbat,
Yeah the Brits treat their Servicemen like Shvit,and they are as good as any in the World....I became related to an American Korean War Veteran,Poor Old Bvugger got Parkinsons,the US used to Fly him once a month from Woolongong NSW,to Hawai for Hospital treatment,very impressive.
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

The poll is meant to discriminate between those who saw combat and those who did not. To me, being in a FOB qualifies as combat, even if you were a cook, aka Fobbit. Were you in harm's way—a drone driver in a refrigerated van in Arizona—dropping GBUs is not a combat vet.

This is an interesting response, the only thing that comes to mind is it’s the result of thinking that there’s a subtext that says one thing is more valuable than the other.
This thread is not meant to be exclusionary in any way, it is an informal social science exercise I’m conducting to understand the military background of the few folks on the board who’ve served, commonality in their thought processes and world view.
I don’t mean to leave any members out of the thread, but it is limited to those who served in the military. In peacetime or in a military conflict theatre where they were subject to the effects of military combat.
