We may be getting older but being alive and reasonably well keeps the wheels turning and life interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19191587337715326252008-10-06T15:13:00.000-04:002008-10-06T15:13:00.000-04:00Thank you to all of you that responded.

We call a man Alpha when he is in control without being controlling. When his hygenie is important to him, when he is important to him. We call a man Alpha when he does the right thing. When he shoots from the gut/heart. <BR/><BR/>That's "my" definition of Alpha. as a male romance writer, I damn well better know!

Gag).<BR/><BR/>My natural reaction to the typical alpha domineering bossing around is to do the exact opposite. I'm contrary by nature. Just ask my ideal man--he loves my contrariness, expects and encourages it. It becomes a method of flirting.<BR/><BR/>My ideal man sees me for who I am and doesn't try to coddle me, command me, or protect me. He makes me laugh, makes it hard to get up in the morning, and makes a wonderful breakfast. He cuts my sandwiches in funny shapes so I'll remember that he loves me (not that there's any danger of that). He is my partner, not my boss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-61308530743148415262008-10-06T10:41:00.000-04:002008-10-06T10:41:00.000-04:00AMEN!

She married a man totally opposite of what she thought she was looking for in a mate.<BR/><BR/>I think maybe we all do that.
