Re: What Men Want
Ha Ha! Maybe Firemen are what women want?
Strong, brave, mechanically inclined, with an innate understanding of physics. And all men look handsome in turnout gear.

Re: What Men Want
Firemen are aces-high with me. They pounded up the street with a gurney from the corner firehouse to deliver our daughter when Kaiser Hospital mistook her mother's labor pains for some trifle. The umbilical cord was around our infant's neck and they unwound it before damage was done. Those hearty men filled the bedroom with their bluff cheeriness. God bless 'em, every one.

Firefighters? Naw.
We want to be costume fitters at the Victoria's Secret fashion show.

Re: What Men Want
I never wanted to be one, no idea why, have friends who are and they are fine people, without a doubt, but it points out the silliness of the Prager article. One might as easily ask what fifty-something, suburban dad's want...most want the best for their families and a few strokes off their handicap. I want to improve my spider guard and my sweeps, and I want to champion a conservatism that sees men, that is to say, people, as individuals and not members of groups.

Re: What Men Want
My brother received his calling at age five- during a ride on a fire truck. He passed on a transfer to USC at 22 and is now in his 23rd year with LAFD.
He tells me most firemen want to be stationed on the fireboats.

Christopher Hitchens put it well but not according to Ricochet code of conduct in [link deleted by scandalized editor]
Editors note: Even if God himself had dictated that article to Moses on Mount Sinai, we are not linking to it from Ricochet.

Re: What Men Want
Well, women want their men to be firemen. Point of pride: my nephew is the one standing in the cave. Why a fireman is standing in a cave with a pickax remains a mystery.

Re: What Men Want
My favorite fire fighting memory...my dad joined the local firehouse as a volunteer. The first time the alarm went off he made a big show of suiting up and hoofing it down our half-mile driveway in full gear (the firehouse was just outside our property). It was exciting!
It was also the Tuesday Noon fire alarm.

As a kid, I wanted to be a military pilot, but my uncorrected eyesight wasn't good enough. I guess they didn't want you to die just because your glasses got knocked off.

Re: What Men Want
I understand Captain Aubrey's sentiments at #4. Many years ago when I lived up in western Montana, it seemed that nearly every guy wanted to be a smokejumper: a fireman who is parachuted into remote areas of the countryside to fight forest fires. The mass attraction to that job never made much sense to me, but then I've always been a somewhat contrarian, against-the-grain type.
Re: What Men Want
Speaking on behalf of the loyal opposition, most men want a way to develop the physique and animal magnetism of a fireman, provided that the process takes no longer than half-time on Monday Night Football.
