What makes an attractive man if you rise above the superficial of good looking?
Tony Armstrong, an ABC tv radio and television personality is nice enough looking with a slim neat body. He is mainly a sports presenter and Aussie Rules football commentator but has taken on other significant roles.
But looks alone don't make a man attractive. This is my ideal, so don't feel inadequate fellahs.
Tony is smart, clever and well educated. He speaks with a very neutral Australian accent. He is very witty. He cares about society. He is an eloquent and a fluent speaker. He dresses well with a sense of style, without being over the top.
Google him and you will find his private life has remained so. As a footballer, he doesn't have past scandals. Generally he is just such a nice guy.
I think I have just convinced myself that I want to marry him.
'Want to marry him.' Heh. I like the qualities you listed especially witty and cares about society. AND he is a nice guy with no past scandals.
ReplyDeleteSandra, I hope I am never disillusioned by him.
DeleteSurely no man can be that good??
ReplyDeleteI think not JayCee. There must be a flaw. Maybe it is that he knows how good he is.
DeleteCaring and a sense of humour (shared of course) are important to me). Looks are a bonus.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree EC.
DeleteYou are talking about the whole package
ReplyDeleteRoentare, I know nothing about his package, but I can wonder.
DeleteA man can be this awesome? Oh, get in line. Heh...
ReplyDeleteDarla, we'll elbow each other out of the queue.
DeleteYou may have convinced yourself of that but what is poor "R" going to think when you move in with Tony Armstrong? I bet Armstrong will be quite cruel to you whereas "R" has always been a perfect English gentleman. More tea vicar?
ReplyDeleteYP, just how cruel would Armstrong be to me? How cruel would he want to treat his daddy?
DeleteHe would probably smack your bottom with a plastic fly swatter... Oh, I forgot, "R" does that already!
DeleteI was assume good looks in eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe.
Yes Dora. Goes without saying.
DeleteA man who puts the toilet seat down after every use is highly desirable, as is a man who does his own laundry each week.
ReplyDeleteNo need to lower toilet seats Hels when men are together, unless they are gay and they will lower the lid as well.
DeleteYou're right, looks alone aren't everything. Men also need to be kind, laugh easily, helpful with housework and childcare without being asked or nagged into it. Careful with money but not a tightwad and knows when to give you alone time when you need it.
ReplyDeleteRiver, is that everything your husband wasn't? Looks wise, I've seen many mismatched couples and it really is about the connection, the laughs and similarities.
DeleteBoth husbands.
DeleteWell you are not getting any younger, you better make your move on him.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that suggestion Strayer... I think.
Delete"Good" looks alone don't mean anything. Many other aspects like kindness, empathy, equanimity, etc are all important.
ReplyDeletePradeep, it is all about what you say. I must fill some of those categories, or I would be alone.
DeleteGood humour, intelligence, empathy and a sound moral compass - looks are secondary, mostly.
ReplyDeleteA moral compass, Jabblog. I like that.
DeletePretty things can disappoint. I would stick with the devil you know. And he cooks and cleans.
ReplyDeleteCaro, one can fantasise.
DeleteI tried marriage. I've tried just living with someone. I found both over-rated. My partners probably felt the same.
ReplyDeleteNot the marrying kind Graham, in the true sense of the phrase? While I dread the cruelty of perhaps being left alone, I am pretty happy with my own company, as you must be...mostly.
DeleteIs the admiration mutual.
ReplyDeleteAre you teasing me TP? You think he might like an old sugar daddy?
ReplyDeleteWith public figures, you never know. It could all be a facade.
ReplyDeleteMaybe why his private life is so very private Steve.
