A good guy...
Tonight, Michael Swartz emailed me a quote from The American Princess' blog. Princess was speaking in terms of Samuel Alito's nomination for the Supreme Court, but she still knew exactly what to say:
"But what about the men? What about the conservative men? Obviously, Sam Alito is totally cute, and totally smart, but after the liberals get through with him, he's going to be ripped to shreds, only after being bored out of his mind. All for being a conservative guy.
These days they seem to be getting kind of a bad rap. Conservative guys are not your hotsy-totsy, Kenneth Cole shirt and Zur shaving cream kind of guys. They don't have much of a reputation for being the hottest dressers or the most suave, and most of them probably preffered Chess Club to the local watering hole. They might bag their own groceries, tie their own shoes and pick out their own ties.
But they're also coming back into style. Suddenly, that guy who rivaled Doogie Howser for "inherent coolness" is getting his moment on the big stage...
The New York Times is pretty convinced that its the fact that despite the easy classification based on the fact that Sam Alito isn't really all that embarassed that he has a giant bald spot (he joked whether he should wear a toupee or a baseball cap to his hearings), wears the same suit over and over, and has a really bad high school photo (right), Sam Alito just isn't afraid to be himself, and really that's the hottest thing that a guy can ever be. And that's probably true, but when you look at the available options, conservative men, despite the fact that their horn-rimmed glasses might get in the way, are the best option.
Maybe because when women look out for a good guy, they aren't looking for a superweenie girly-man liberal who cries at the end of Disney movies and likes to tell you "how they feel," while offering to bake you something and then take you shoe shopping. They don't want nasty little spineless wonders with no taste in sporting events and a propensity for carrying a man-bag. They want men with values, men with steadfast ideals, men who know what it means to be men. We want guys who are not only comfortable with their place in this world, who like being who they are, they like being men. And they happen to like being married, having families, and smart, conservative women.
And there is nothing sexier than a conservative voting record.
Nothing."
Yea. She knows what she's talking about. While it's always nice if my guy wants to go shopping with me or bake cookies with me, I am definitely more attracted to a man who is willing to be a man. I am attracted to a man who is not afraid to be himself and is not ashamed of being himself. I'm attracted to a man with values and ideals. And I'm attracted to a man who is not only willing, but desires, to be married, to have a family, to have a wife whose values are as equally conservative, and to raise his children within that atmostphere of conservatism. Most importantly, I'm attracted to a man who is a Christian, and who is not ashamed of being a Christian.
