But there is SOMETHING eternally fantastic about my English dude. This is a big topic for American women living in England, everyone seemed to be talking about it. One of my favorite posts about the matter is by I Say Tomato, it’s well worth checking out.
They can’t dress. No seriously, I don’t even mean they don’t dress well. I mean, who the hell walks around with the crotch of their pants at their knees? Wearing a really old-and-browning white hat with the bill crushed so tightly that the edges are curved around to touch each other? Excuse me if I don’t swoon… (and they were never interested in me anyway, because my thighs touch in the middle).
I could write a long long long list about the few American-man encounters I’ve had. But I won’t… cos I’ve found an awesome guy, and he’s English!
He’s soooooooooooo funny. And I mean English funny! A rare and precious combination of puns and dry sarcasm that keeps my stomach muscles sore from laughing.
He doesn’t know how gorgeous he is. And he’s a real corker… But he’s really modest and un-assuming all the time. It’s like some kind or miracle!
He can cook. England is a place that really embraces cooking as a hobby and a past time. More so than in America. Mr. NG is an amazing cook and he’s always trying new things in the kitchen. I do all the dishes and we call it even. Nice!
He loves that I’m American. He likes that I’m outgoing and open. That I’m not nervous to introduce myself to new people and that I could have a conversation with a plank of wood if I had to.
The moment I heard that accent, I turned and saw him – the man I was going to marry. He may have been a bit drunk, and with 16 of his friends in Vegas, but I was hooked.
The mere fact that he could be drunk, hold a respectful conversation about actual interesting things and not stare at my breasts once the entire night (even if I wanted him to) was already a step up from every other American man I had dated. Plus, he loves doing the laundry!
Liked your post, and I loved the proof of the baseball cap phenomenon that American guys love so much in that pic!! I used to have an American bf that would leave his cap in a cup of water so the bill would mold and fold… and then he would wear it everyday to hide his hair….yucky. I am glad English men don’t wear hats unless they’re the quirky or just to keep warm! Score for Britain!
There are 60 million people in Britain, and about half must be men….
Hey there! I loved this post!
