Not As Bad As It Sounded.

Okay, Maybe I went a little over the top in my last post. I almost made it sound like women would flee from me as I walked down the street. That was not necessarily the case. Actually, most of the women I have known have told me that I was a good looking guy. I think I am about average. One lady, actually one from the last post, described me as "in-offensively handsome". I have no idea what that means.

I will describe myself in a little more detail, so you get the picture.

I am about 5'9", brown hair and eyes. I have been told many times that I have eyes as dark brown as they have seen. My wife jokingly says they are "shit brown".

I am fairly dark complexion, and when I used to get enough sun, would tan to a dark brown.

I have been told I look a little like John Ritter in the face, but I do not see it. Everyone says they know someone who looks almost like me, but I have yet to meet anyone I would say that about.

Right now, I am a little overweight and could stand to lose about 30 lbs. Damn metabolism changed when I was 27. Before that, I never weighed more than 150lbs. Now I weigh 215. I am going take steps to get somewhere in the middle. (Or so I keep telling myself) My weight doesn't show to bably because I am pretty broad through the shoulders. BH says my belly is perfect for laying her head on.

I am somewhat odd in that I have long arms, and short legs. I never realized that I was really that out of proportion until I got fitted for my wedding tux. The guy at the rental, (he was the catty gay type) told me he had never seen someone with that long of a body and arms, and that short of legs. He told me that for as long as my arms and body were, I should wear a 34 in-seam, I wear a 29.

If you go off that theory, if my body matched my legs, I would be 5'4", and if my legs matched my body, I would be 6'2".

Lets put this in a perspective of clothes.

When I buy a suit, I get a 48 regular in the jacket, and need a 38 waist, 29 length pant. My dress shirts are 17 1/2 neck, 34-35 length. If it is casual clothes, the pant are the same, but I have to wear an extra large-tall shirt.

After typing this, I realize that I have almost described Barney Rubble. Ouch.

Don't get me wrong, I do not think I am grotesque. I do not think I am ugly.

Something must be right for BH to have fallen for me. It was either my "in-offensively handsome" looks or my monkey impression. I'm not sure which.

Later,

Deej
