In The Event Of An Emergency


If someone breaks into the front of your house while you are watching tv in the back and starts setting things on fire, it definitely counts as an emergency. Dialing 000 should then be pretty high on your priority list, although it may be debatable just who you require the services of most. There are some situations in life however, dire and terribly unfortunate though they may be to you, where calling the emergency number would not be to your advantage. For example, if you’ve been single for longer than you care to contemplate, I’d wager you’d be hung up on rather than helped if you bothered to try. Doesn’t mean you wouldn’t like to though.

I know heaps of women who think that there is nothing spunkier than a man in uniform. And I’m not particularly immune to the affliction either. I mean theres something kind of comforting about a man who knows how to save lives. Someone who actually has rescuing people as part of their job description. Well, more or less at any rate. And at the same time, I’m sure it could be kind of exciting to get tied up with someone who knows how to take charge of a situation (pun not entirely unintended). Those sorts of things feature quite prominently in a lot of fantasies I’m sure. And why not I say.

Theres nothing wrong with wanting to rest your head on the broad shoulder of a man who knows the true meaning of hot and sweaty. Or of getting wrapped up in the arms of someone who could rescue kittens from trees and carry you out of a burning building with energy to spare. This is the guy who’s body is in peak physical condition, possessing both strength and agility that can take your breath away. He is a man capable of living life on the edge as he pursues one of the most dangerous professions around and a guy who knows how to use his hose is often useful to have around.

On the other hand, maybe your tastes run a little more towards the boys in blue. It might row your boat to be on the arm of someone who knows the law and is not afraid to use it. Every day is a different day for this man who needs to be both hardheaded and softhearted in equal parts. Dealing with criminals and victims alike, this guy will understand people as he makes time for both them and the pursuit of justice. He will be prepared to show the patience required to lie in wait for something and have the ability to race off in pursuit of it as well. He also has access to some nifty accessories for which you may find a use.

If its brains that turn you on far more than brawn however, dreaming of doctors might be what gets you hot and bothered. This man has the allure that he could potentially be pulling in a six-figure salary with which to spoil you rotten in addition to the fact that he knows the female body in a way some men never will. Bedside manner might take on a whole new meaning if you saw the man inside his white coat as well as out of it. Of course, this is a rather self-centred, somewhat sexist, overly stereotypical, quite unrealistic and not to mention unreasonable way to view dating a man in uniform. Life doesn’t - and isn’t - supposed to work out quite the way it does in your fantasies. Then again, that’s really why they’re called fantasies aren’t they?
