But after a while, I realized that Frank, and Stephen and Tev's Mike and Blush's Gary weren't perfect either.
Hey! I represent that remark! LOL Seriously, you are absolutely right. Anyone who knows me at all knows I definitely have my own bozo moments, as you say, even sometimes bozo days or weeks on end. Sometimes I even read the 'poster child' descriptions of men and think something is wrong with me. I'm not like that, I think.
Some time ago there was a discussion on one of the DD lists where I write with women talking about the kind of man they wanted as a 'good' HOH. I was reading over the kind of things important to women as they wrote and it occurred to me I wasn't even close to those standards. I tend towards sloppiness, am not overly concerned if my hair gets a little too long, wear jeans and work boots most of the time, don't feel comfortable at all in a suit and tie, like physical work for pay over passive office work, I don't see much use for 'gadgets' like T.V's, I rarely drive because I prefer walking, I would never own a gun nor would I hunt game animals. All in all, I'm not the 'typical' American male in many respects, at least as I see myself anyway.
Well, to make a short story short, I got a little depressed thinking my own dear came up short with me. I didn't really seem to fit the model HOH women really wanted. It was so neat she wrote me a 'love letter' she published in the discussion and which Sarah has included on this site. I go back and read that sometimes when I feel a little down on myself. I thought it was neat of her to do this, for her to take the time and make the effort because I really was feeling a little inadequate. One of my own bozo moments, I guess.
I'm really glad she doesn't really expect me to be like other men she reads about. I'm glad I'm okay for her because I know for sure she is not only okay but the most beautiful woman I have ever known.
