Yes, Size Matters
I was one of those girls who couldn’t quite focus long enough to stay-the-path. Now that I’m all grown up, things haven’t changed. I’m easily bored and distracted. I’m really, really easily bored and distracted. Wait, what was I saying?
Oh yea—The boredom factor. I could potentially go through men like potato chips. As a teenager I liked bad boys. I don’t have to explain this, right? But here’s the reality— you can only party so much before you become bored with yourself. Trust me on this. After you break all the rules you start looking for new, bigger rules to break and the slope really is terribly angular.
I finally realized I needed a bad boy with a brain. I think that was the attraction to my silver-haired husband. (and because his lips caress my name with his deliciously foreign accent). When we met he was a bad boy in a business suit with the heart of a rock ‘n’ roller. Sure he’s a lot older than I, and when we moved in together he brought an overflowing suitcase (two ex wives and four children), but his brain is so sexy that when his bad boy eyes twinkle, I still swoon.
Our love story is an affair gone terribly wrong. A six-month, long-distance flirting session that was supposed to end in a weekend fling, and here we are 13 years later joined at the hip. OK yes, the sex is amazing and I’m still hooked, but it’s not only the intrinsic rule-breaking parts of our personalities that keep my potato chip-eating binges in-check, it’s brain chemestry baby.
When I hear women say size doesn’t matter, I suspect they’re measuring the wrong head.
What do you think is the sexiest quality a person can have?

There is never any need to watch a sitcom anymore. I just need to come read this.

Wow. No onions, eh. I love them! And they are just about everywhere.

Oh I know what you mean, Tricia. Thomas has an accent too. God, to hear him say my name…
I think the sexiest qualities anyone can have are passion and desire. Not necessarily passion and desire for me, but for anything. That requires some thinking, so I guess brains are a requirement too.
And the way you feel about keeping your potato chip binges in check is exactly why I’m so frustrated dealing with the baby weight.

For me, it’s all about a sense of humor and being a good dad.

Were you talking about watching your weight with the second statement or are these two statements related?

I found myself a bad boy too, but mine is five years younger than me. I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found him.
I figure I got married at this age because I had to wait for him to grow up. but he’s worth the wait. And yes, his brain is most amazing. In the time since I met him he has learned farsi (fluent), arabic, tajik, and french. you know that scene at the end of A fish Called Wanda where she just wants him to talk to her in russian? …

Oh, woman, we have more in common than you could ever imagine.
Bad Boy with a Brain…if that doesn’t describe Beloved, I don’t know what does.
Except maybe Awesome Father.
And Incredible Husband.
Do I love the “little head?” Sure I do. But it’s the Big Head that can tell what I’m thinking just by looking at the expression on my face.
And usually has a smart-ass comment about it.

I love this one! Your love for your hubby shines through and I think that’s beautiful.
For me, it’s personality. I have to laugh, a lot. My husband making me laugh and laughing with (or at!) me is incredibly sexy.

I love you too, my lover, best friend, and brain candy… more than the moon and the stars!

Ok, I’m back. I did a lame blog tag thing, and tagged you!

Comment by Tricia on 31 July 2008:
Ahh yes, a sense of humor is incredibly sexy and being a good dad is definitely a prerequisite, especially because I think anyone who’s not a good dad is really a dumb ass.
Wendy: I was in fact referring to gobbling up men although I can get into trouble with a bag of Doritos too.
Judy: I want to hear more stories about kissing frogs.
Jan: Next time we’re close to each other’s cities, we’re going out for girl talk and chocolate.
Mr. Sanders: …and all the water in the oceans.

A sense of humor and a quick wit are what do it for me. But a brain is a requirement. I only dated one dumb guy and I regretted it.

OMFG!!!! You know, the more I get to know you, the more I think we’re alike!
I love the bad boys too!!! I started reading romance porn books as young as 10 years old and I grew up with the notion that bad boys would swoon me over with their buffy body, a head to match (LOL) and you pretty much know the rest!
When i first met babes, he had tattoos on his arms, wrist, ankles and then I saw his watermelon bum (OMFG, still such a cute one!) and then I saw his hairy chest and he’s so tall (i’m a just a midget), I thought, OK, I HAVE TO HAVE HIM!!!!!!!!
But then, he won me over with his sense of humour, his way of thinking through things and just being him.
Then, infertility hit us and I love him even more.
Oh my, I’m rambling again.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE POST FROM YOUR BLOG SO FAR!

I was the same way, I always fell for the guys who loved to party!
Then I met Mark, who walked a fairly straight line, and it was his sense of humor I fell in love with. Twelve years and 3 kids later and we still make each other laugh!

Hoo hoo! Lucky you, 13 years and going….
important? Well, loyalty and honesty are very important but totally boring sounding, so I’ll add: a shapely behind is most important.

You know I will agree with everything said … but the size of their heart also is important … respect, kindness and just loving each other … even when life is really, really difficult!
