Joan Juliet Buck on the Sad Reality of Cute Men

Joan Juliet Buck
Leo DiCaprio is not sexy to me. Brad Pitt is cute which has nothing to do with sexy. We all know the glossy lure and sad reality of cute men. The dream is a mature man who knows what he likes, knows himself, has seen what life does, but still can laugh and has kept up his hope and is not bitter, who is curious, enterprising and strong. Who does not depend on: painkillers, Viagra, Zoloft, lithium, alcohol, his therapist, his ex-wife, a coterie of men to whom he tells all, who works out just enough and doesn’t talk about it, who is etc. and etc. and etc., and doesn’t get hypnotized by your younger female friends. And if you find one, get me two.

Must say, I like the man you describe. But gave up long ago finding him. Best of luck to you, however …

Well, I’m not perfect either. But I agree that pretty boys aren’t sexy. In fact, Pierce Brosnin didn’t appeal to me at all until Mama Mia! I suppose the day will come when even Brad Pitt appeals to me, but for now, Charlie Rose is still the sexiest man on television.

Joan I know exactly what you mean. My husband has a coterie of male friends that he talks to about “things”. I call them man-squad. They are all each other’s therapists. Then when we are in groups with them, they always drop suggestions, or want to tell me about my husband, who by the way I have known for 30 years. What’s a girl to do? What can I say, just because he has a hard time keeping up with me doesn’t mean I have to slow down for him.
