    I don't understand what you mean about 'any ideas?'
    Any ideas about what?
    I don't look at dating websites at all, let alone ones aimed at specific things.
    I'm married. ;)

    I thought the 'uniform' dating sites were about people in emergency services finding it easier to date each other because they have a better understanding of their demading jobs, shift patterns and not being able to walk away at clocking off time than 'civilians', not because the uniforms were supposed to be sexy.

    Nope - anyone can join and the pouting nurse on the front page of the site I just looked at didn't bear a lot of relation to the real thing.
    Just another gimmick.
    Pest controller, anyone?

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Sad and shallow come to mind. If the Yorkshire ripper wore a firemans outfit, would he be any more appealing as a date?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    I've just come off a 12 hour night shift, doubt a picture taken right now would be considered very 'desirable'!

    Glad to see your more serious problems that you've posted about recently don't seem to be bothering you so much at the moment and you're able to have a bit of a joke.

    I don't do uniform dating sites but my missus has plenty of uniforms that I very much like and they have a section of the wardrobe to themselves now.

    My idea ? Avoid. High possibility of unhinged folk wearing fancy dress.

    That would make more sense.

    However, if you watch their adverts it suggests that if you like uniforms you can find someone in uniform on their site and if you are the person who wears a uniform someone on there will find you sexy.

    I always thought it was a daft idea though as you're probably more likely to get two people who find uniforms sexy rather than one person in a uniform and one who likes that. Which maybe still works I guess, something in common, but not really the idea behind the site.

    Other than that I've never given any thought about the site.

    Not sexist no, as I imagine pretty much equal numbers of both male and female are attracted to people in uniform.

    Shallow? Well yes, unless I guess you are looking for fire fighter/police/paramedic/nurse etc. in a keeping you safe and saving you type of way.....

    After all, none of these people will be going on dates in their uniform anyway will they?
