For the guys: What Type of Man Are You?

[beaverz]

I was jealous of Spoomonkey with the post by Mrs. Spoomonkey, so I asked Mrs. Beaverz what she would answer.

She chose athlete, artist and other. The other would be Chevy Chase type; a dark gift for sarcasm. I not sure what she meant by that.

I’m sure supermodel was a close forth.

This will take some time, Intuition897. The categories are at once too narrow and too broad...at least to encompass all my manliness. <EG>

Wow, great response so far!
Sorry I didn't make the choices easier for everyone, but I'm not sure how I could've. Looks like there's a wide mix.

Mr. intuition is an interesting mix. Sadly, I forgot to put one other choice on the poll: The Knight in Shining Armor. That kinda sums Mr. intuition up for me. I chose The Gladiator, because he's got that bulky muscular build with the broad shoulders and chest, powerful legs...you know. And although he doesn't play one in real life, he's a natural cop at heart. Dead-level fair, he believes in doing the right thing and treating people with dignity and respect...and if others make a point of not deserving such respect, he doesn't have a problem putting them in their place. He sees people as just that: people. Gender has nothing to do with it, so while he's been known to hold a door or two, and cave in to some of my feminine wiles (like using all the hot water in the name of Beauty), he doesn't let a girl get away with abusing her priveleges... and that's just the way I like it. He's also the Intellectual, and the Boy Next Door with a strong Executive streak in him. He looks awesome in a suit! He's definitely not the Artistic type, the Metrosexual, or the Supermodel. That's frivolous stuff as far as he's concerned. Meat and potatoes kinda guy. Just give him what's real and substantial.

Not to be wierd or anything but I thought if I just went through all of these it might make more sense...and then add anything I felt I needed after that.

So...here goes:

James Bond - classy, suave, a renaissance man...Yeah I can be classy but it really doesn't fit me, Suave...hardly...a renaissance man...Yeah I've been told that but I just try to take care of everything I can...in due time. (2-3.45%)

The Cowboy - yes ma'am, boys will be boys! Not really one of those but one time I did use sorta that excuse on my dad for getting drunk at 15! (2-3.45%)

The Gladiator - contact sports, cop, firefighter, etc. Pretty much me. Love contact with anything...even a wall. (6-10.34%)

The Teddy Bear - so cute and cuddly! Well...I can be... (2-3.45%)

The Metrosexual - sensitive and attentive Believe it or not...I am very sensitive. Show me an old Ted Williams Homer and I am done! Really though, I think I'd be a great interviewer...much better than Bryant Gumbel. (9-15.52%)

The Biker - leather and Harleys Absolutely (1-1.72%)

The Athlete - runner, swimmer, cycler, outdoorsman Still very athletic! (5-8.62%)

The Executive - powersuits and penthouse suites Yes!...NOT! I'd rather spend my money in less ostentatious ways (2-3.45%)

The Intellectual - the brain is the most powerful sex organ... I may be off the charts on this one (9-15.52%)

The Artist - creative, spontaneous, emotional, expressive Yes to alllll! (5-8.62%)

The Boy Next Door - backyard beer and BBQ anyone? Affirmative! (6-10.34%)

The Supermodel - trendy, good looking, hollywood material In a character actor sort of way... (0-0%)

Other - Please post I guess this would just be to say that everyone is a combination of everything. Some more than others. We all are special to each other in many different ways and in odd combinations.

Thanks Again Intuition897!

I'd have to go with Several of the above.

[WesternSwing]

Mrs. WS says I'm more the James Bond type... So I went with that answer! She says I'm suave and charming. Not a bad thing I suppose.

Mr. WS

[BiloxiCouple]

I'm just me.

[Better Half]

I am definitely a dork. Or a geek, a nerd; there are so many derogatory titles that fit it is hard to choose just one! But... the Mrs. loves me for who I am. Although she has been successful in fine-tuning me a little, I guess.

[intuition897]

That's another one: The Nerd. And I use the term 'nerd' in the most affectionate way possible. There's just something about their quiet rebellion against conventionality, their honesty about themselves, and their ability to retrieve data from a crashed hard drive.

[Jeok]

Actually, All the Above at different points in my life. Go Figure? JeoK

Yes, let's hear it for nerds! I married one, I am one, and I love others.

What type of man is Ted?????

Damn, that's a hard one as he is so many different things to me...so we voted other

He's my Knight in shinning armor ...my hero. Put the man in a pair of tight jeans, cowboy hat and duster and and I start drooling...when he wears his leather jacket, hair hanging down and a white t-shirt...I litterally fall to my knees as they become so weak I can't stand...Dress him up in a suit and tie, hair pulled back in a pony tail and you have the Mofia hitman to a tee with the intelligence to hold his own with any world leader...he's definitely a brainiaic but with the thoughtfullness and compassion to never make anyone feel less...suave, debonair and so charming that he makes old ladies giggle like school girls and don't even get me started on him when he's in a pair of jeans, work boots and nothing else digging post holes on the farm with sweat glistening down his chest and muscles bulging...he's the dark prince and an angel...

He's every fantasy of mine rolled into one man.

[intuition897]

People on this board are...SO...COOL! Teresa, now you've got me drooling.

I sure hope folks didn't think I was trying to pigeonhole them, or suggest they pigeonhole themselves. I guess I just didn't phrase the question properly. I know that every man - or woman for that matter - can pull off a variety of looks or attitudes, but I guess I just wonder if there was a particular one that you identified with. I'd have to agree that Mr. intuition is definitely my own Knight in Shining Armour. Does he ride a horse? Um, no. But he sure knows how to sweep a girl off her feet.

[destin-ez]

Hello,

Mr. D is very modest, so I will have to answer this one for him.

He is actuallty a variety of the guys listed. Variety is the spice of life, that is why he is my life partner.

He is a gladiator. He was actually a volenteer firefighter for 21 years. He loves rescueing people in need. Surrender

As far as Metrosexual, he is very attentive and sensual to my needs. That's why we have been married for 30 years.

He is defineatly the biker dude. Leather chaps, fingerless gloves and a dew rag....HOT!!! Add the "potato, potato, potato" of the Harley and WOW!! (There is nothing like Mr. D and a Harley between your legs. )

The boy next door is a definite. He is an Emeril junkie. Food network watch out. facelick

Over all, he is the man for me no matter who he resmbles.

Mrs. D (the luckiest woman)
