If so, list the 3 types of uniform you like best, in order from most to least. Anything constituting a “uniform” counts; hell, if you have a fetish for maintenance men or the guy working the slush machine at Dairy Queen just because of the uniform, spill it here. I find men in uniform very sexy. My preferences: 1: Military fatigues 2: Police 3: Ninja I think I really realized my preference for military uniforms when I was playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and found the character of Ocelot super hot. 😃 ---

Men in uniform and especially men who know every weapon ever made and how to use it well get me steamy in the drawers. There’s a poster on this forum called something like ‘Stranger on a Train’ or something who’s always talking about weapons. I literally drool over the fantasy I’ve created for that guy in my mind. Top uniform preferences: 1. Marine fatigues. 2. Fighter pilot (ala Tom Cruise in Top Gun). 3. Cops Something about believing I have to do everything they tell me to do…erm, gotta run. 😉 ---

Oh god yes! DeHusband was in the Air Force when we were dating. The blue uniform… not so much. But **Fatigues**! With all those buttons? Yeah, baby. Followed by Dress Uniform (Any branch but mostly Marine) I think it’s the gloves. ---

> [@Amazon Floozy Goddess](#): > > 3: Ninja For some reason, this absolutely killed me. I’m still giggling. I’ve never been a uniform gal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the uniform is _never_ hot, but it just doesn’t do it for me most of the time. I don’t seek the uniform out, but the day I happened to stop at a 7-11 next to a National Guard mustering site (or whatever they’re called), I certainly wasn’t complaining. ---

Mercy yes. My husband was in the Army and every now and then I make him put on his BDUs just so I can ogle. So hot. He also worked in hospitals and has a lot of scrubs/lab coats around the house. He wears the scrubs to lounge around in, and I think those are incredibly sexy looking as well. My favorites: 1. Military BDUs (And I also love Marine Dress Blues.) 2. Scrubs/Lab Coat 3… Police - (My sister just married a police officer, he certainly does look handsome in his uniform, but he kind of cooled my lust for them, since I now associate him with the uniform.) ---

Fuck yes. 1. Hello, everybody . . . _firefighters_? ROWR. 2. Fatigues. Camo fatigues. Oooh, yeah. 3. Okay, this is stretching a bit, but, really, the crowing glory of any uniform is a regulation buzzcut. Mmmm hmmm. ---

Hmmm…chicken or egg thing with me…fatigues became incrediblely erotic to me. Right after I met (and…met, shall we say) a guy who wore fatigues to work. He was sexy. Therefore every soilder I came across…errr…who I met…errr…no not like that…painted myself into a corner haven’t I? …had a certain frisson…But then i was dissapointed when I realized it wasn’t HIM And those boots are kind of sexy. ---

hey - a UPS uniform on the right guy - yummy for me it’s not what they’re wearing but how they carry themselves. Clean, pressed, confident - that’s what does it for me. Let me amend that - men in 3-piece suits or tuxedos melt me everytime. ---

Yes, yes, yes. Oh my Og yes. 1. Marine dress blues, and there’s probably something deeply twisted about me especially liking the blood stripe & the gloves. Hmmm, the gloves. 😃 2. Navy blue crackerjacks 3. White crackerjacks. I like high and tights, buzzcuts not so much. ---

If I find the man attractive to begin with, a military uniform is _definitely_ hot. I even get very happy when certain actors play military members on shows that I watch (like Christian Slater’s turn on _West Wing_, and Ben Browder’s addition to _Stargate SG-1_ … though not even the sight of Benjamin Bratt in uniform could hold my interest in _E-Ring_). If the guy doesn’t do anything for me, though, the uniform has no effect. I’ve never been a “uniform slut,” unlike some girls I knew in high school/college: we would hang out in Annapolis, and they’d go after the first middie (US Naval Academy midshipman) they saw. :rolleyes: Unlike many of the pro-uniform respondants in this thread, I don’t particularly care for BDUs. They just don’t do anything for me. I once worked as a civilian in an Army housing office with an attractive AF sergeant, and he loved the rare times he was allowed to come to work in BDUs … I was always a little disappointed on those days. 😉 I also don’t have any preference among the branches: the turn-on is as much about what the uniform represents as the look itself. Other uniforms (fire, police, etc.) can look good, but aren’t much better than a nice suit or a tux. ---

Never really thought about which ones are hottest, but yes, a thousand times yes! Military and firefighter and UPS and a tall strong man in a bright white t-shirt, denims or carharts, boots and a toolbelt? Oh my, yes. Hey, at least then you know they’re employed, right? ---
