What Kevin and Jesus are talking about was what was my wakeup call. All of a sudden I was getting hit on by single mothers, attractive, but they didn't seem into me. They wanted to date with an eye to getting serious, settling down and there was a part of me that was flattered.
The other part was ticked off, I was the nice guy? I was the guy there to take care of the bad boys' kids? I was the guy you settled down with but weren't really attracted to? What the hell? Me? Tall, blonde, strong, decent looking, smart, good job, good work ethic, creative, artistic, me? I was the one they wanted to settle for? Took me aback to say the least. And seeing a program on this, where it was said that women look for the strong, assertive jock type to have better children and wondering what I was doing wrong. I was a strong assertive jock type, how in the hell did I get stuck in that nice guy role?
That's when I decided to look like the man I thought I was, shave off my beard, cut my hair, get contacts, lose the bulky long sleeved shirts, and instead of trying to be a stereotypical nice guy I just decided to be who I was. And if people didn't like that guy? Well, so what? I liked that guy. I was that guy. I wanted to be that guy. That guy had a lot of fun.
