I am a traditional man. I eschew scheduled introductory dates. I think they are mechanical. My relationships are organic. I meet romance in the park, or the restaurant: on the bus, or the library. Online encounters rarely live up to their promise in real life. Hope wore me out.
I am a traditional man. I do not think much of wine. You don& #39;t either. Four Cousins tastes like burnt paper. and 4th Street like smoke. But it brings you closer to sophistication. So you sip it & jostle for pictures next to it. Find me in porridge on a quiet Friday evening.
I am a traditional man. You will not find me outside past 8:00 pm. I chase nothing in the dark that I might not find in the light. I carry bread home, after a long day at work. And though it be quiet sometimes, my house embraces me.
I am a traditional man. I tuck in t-shirts. And keep short hair. Any beauty I pursue ends at cleanliness. I iron my jeans, I do not know colognes. I don& #39;t like bright colors on me. My pants are black, my shirts are white. No, I am not old. Neither rich. But, I will be.
I am a traditional man. I have one walking style. It is called fast. I walk with my shoulders straight & my handshakes are firm. I try to keep my word. Sometimes, I fail. I will tell you when I do. For you, I will give it the best I& #39;ve got.
I am a traditional man. I do not understand the cinema. With its predictability and artificiality. The noise and the precarious catwalks are not for me. Sit here, beautiful woman. We& #39;ll watch our movies in the backyard. Or the balcony. We don& #39;t need the world.
I am a traditional man. Potbellies are the devil& #39;s workshop. It is in there that corruption is brewed. So I run in the mornings. To prepare for the day ahead. Like the ancestors before me. And when I hold a woman beneath me, it rains, nay floods. She mumbles my name in sleep.
I am a traditional man. I respect people, I do not fear being kind & I try to be generous. I say little among strangers - enough among friends. I do not go to church, but don& #39;t give a mind that you do. I learned to live in my world, that you might live in yours.
