Yes, you should.

Well, might vary from country to country, but it seems to be pretty damn hard to get to army even if you want to and that's only for administrative / supportive positions, for actual "soldier" it's harder yet, even impossible for some, so yes, it seems rather logical that there is no conscription.
There is also the mentality about army included. Which is another tradition, but eh.

It's not hard to get into the army. You get a letter telling you you're expected to be there at a certain date and then they don't let you out for however long you're supposed to be in it. The practice of only telling males they're supposed to be there is discrimination against all sexes.

When I was single I had a laundry list of deal breakers. My friends always poked at me for only dating 10s (no less than 9.5) when I, myself, was never more than a 7 but you get yourself a set of standards and don't waver from them. As a guy you have to remember the odds are statistically in your favor - there are more women out there than men - and hold fast to the truth that you always have a chance no matter how slim it is.
Of course, I never dated simply to date - even in high school - which was always something that worked in my favor. I had a reputation all the way up to my actual marriage that I was either looking for what I wanted in a wife (when I was very young) or that I was looking for a wife (when I was just "young"). I never did the "short term" dating thing, either. Girls knew if they were going to date me it was going to be a long relationship. Then again, almost every girl I dated ended up cheating on me so, hey, can't win 'em all.
If I had to cherry pick the absolute deal breakers, though, they'd probably be:
1.) No dumb chicks. If you can't figure out how to make instant coffee (seriously, I taught this one girl how to make it 3 times before giving up) then you're not for me.
2.) No fat chicks and/or hygiene escapes you. The first part is shallow, I know, but it is what it is. More important is the second, though. If you are incapable of taking care of yourself it's a clear sign you're expecting me to take care of you. I want to take care of you - I don't want to have to take care of you.
3.) At least be open to watching anime. I'm not saying this because of the site we're on - it's a good measuring stick for how tolerant a person is to things they don't normally do. If you're incapable of opening yourself to experience something as expansive yet simple as anime you're clearly too self-absorbed. I never asked any girl to ditch what she liked to watch any anime, just expected them to give it a shot. I know it's not for everyone but at least be willing to try.
4.) Too easy. I've literally walked out of a girl's apartment right before sex would have happened because I had never seen her before that night (not that it really matters but no, we weren't drunk). I respect a woman's right to choose how she lives her life but I just don't live that way. If you do, well, sorry - it just won't work.

Deal Breakers:
Bad hygiene... this is bad bad bad. greasy hair, dirty fingernails, dirty clothes, smelly..If you dont care about how you look or smell, what about your other habits??
(also important, some kind of order, and clean bathroom/toilet/kitchen/ sheets are important.)
Bragging. Too desperate. Lying. Insecure. Drugusers. Partypeople. Too soft minded. Smokers.
If Im taller than the man.. Not good. (This does not count on women.)
I want the man to be A man, so too feminine men would also be a dealbreaker.
I think I got a longer list, but this was the first things that came into my mind. Been some years since I have been dating, I seriously hope I dont have to go there again, I never was any good at it.
TiYlER:
I was thinking about this thread the whole day at school.
Deal Breakers:
Taller than me
Weighs more than I
Has a deeper voice than I
Knows less than I (in any given area)
super-religious
AceHigh:
I would bet that there are almost no people that hold all the identical knowledge that you have, so that is a harsh criteria.
