Depending on how and where you grew up (and if you're female or not) you probably have different ideas on what the perfect man is. Even at different ages our concept of the perfect man changes. Hell, sometimes weekly.
We can be attracted to men who are good looking, muscular, suave, rich, loving, etc. But as time passes, you realize that most of those things can (and usually will) disappear. Age is a great equator among humans. Few 40, 50, 60 year old people are as good looking or fit as they were 20 years earlier. The rich or well to do, can lose their money, jobs, and security. And how many divorced people started out in love with their spouse?
In my experience, there is only one kind of man that maintains his appeal through the years, a funny one.
The first thing that attracted me to Steve was his sense of humor; well, actually his laugh. We worked for the same company in different departments, but set less than 15 feet apart. There was a partial wall between us, so we couldn't see each other and never interacted. But I heard him laughing at something at least 10 times a day, and when I did it ALWAYS made me smile.
I'm not much of a smiler. And while I have been an optimist most of my life, there are few people and situations that bring a genuine smile to my face. Steve does.
As far as I am concerned, there is nothing more attractive than a funny man. (Assuming of coarse, he has some sort of job and takes bathes on a regular basis.)

laughter is a good band-aid for things that go wrong in life. I think that's why a funny man is so important. Men think we lie when we say one of the top things we look for is humor. Besides a smile makes everyone more attractive. Good catch!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why I never take you to a comedy show... It would be like you going and watching a chip&dale strip show for normal women.
ReplyDeleteDamn that Johnny Carson, he has got it all!
