Lord almighty, why do I think there was a stampede to greet Brendan personally? And offer him pictures of ourselves in our best underwear, cooking a pie or something homey?

I have to go read the rest of these myths.

Thank you, Donna! It's so lovely to think the dream might not be dead after all!

Terri Osburn

I'll read this article as soon as I can come up for air, but if men like this exist, I'd like to know what planet they are on and book a ticket on the next shuttle. In my experience, men will eventually get past the looks, but (HUGE BUT HERE) most men won't get past the looks long enough to find out if I'm smart or funny or compassionate.

Maureen

I gotta agree with Terri... It's getting them past the wrongful beholding...or getting the blood back in the head! The on at the top of the shoulders.

I married a great guy, but I wonder about the rest of men...but then again...if all I know is what I see on television... They all can't be like Tony Denoza, right? Please?

Donna Cummings

Hellion, I'm an unrepentant romantic, because I like to think the dream isn't dead either!

Of course, I hope the competition doesn't rest on pie-baking skills -- I'll be sunk for sure! LOL

Donna Cummings

Terri, I was hoping a shuttle flight wasn't necessary! Or if it is, hopefully they'll fly HERE (I'm not a good flyer!)

Maureen, this is why I think we should do the cloning. LOL Maybe we'll have to have a telethon, to raise enough funds to clone enough to go around. :)

Anita Clenney

Great topic, Donna. I think we tend to stereotype guys, and probably a lot of them deserve it :) But in all honesty, I think as human beings, male or female, we notice the looks first. As a romance writer, I think attraction is huge.I admit I only dated good looking guys. That sounds shallow, but I had to be attracted to the outside or the inside didn't matter. It was a two part thing with me, and the second part was huge. The INSIDE had darned well better match the good looking outside, or all the looks in the world are useless. Nothing worse than a good looking guy who's a jerk. And it's a good thing we have different opinions on what is good looking or what attracts us or we'd all be after the same ten guys or girls. Thank God I found mine and I'm happy with the inside and the outside.

Donna Cummings

Anita, thanks for commenting! I definitely agree that attraction is huge, and as you said, thank goodness we all find different things attractive. LOL (Hard to believe that everyone doesn't fall in love with Johnny Depp the way that I do!)

Still, the INSIDE has to match (or exceed) the attractive exterior. If not, all that decoration just goes to waste! LOL

Kari Townsend

LOL I'd like to clone him myself :-)

Great post Donna!

"...we get that a woman stimulates the portion of you that resides MUCH lower than your heart or your mind." I laughed out loud at this one!

I agree with you. As a 5'1" blonde girl, I have been to have my oil changed in my car and had guys make trashy comments about my look that they seem to think I won't notice. Apparently blonde hair means you don't have ears. Then, I have a husband who likes the way I look, true, but he also values my sense of humor and my brain far more. So, they do exist...it's just the finding them! :-) Good post!

Donna Cummings

Colby! I didn't realize you had commented! Glad to see you here -- and glad I provided you with some chuckles. :)

I am blonde too, and it's always fun when people make the WRONG assumptions about us blondies! LOL Sometimes we have to use it to our advantage though, don't we? :)
