I prefer the term suburbansexual. A suburbansexual is a guy (like me) who wears jeans and flannel shirts while doing yard work on the weekends. Drives a pickup truck or at least an SUV. Has a garage with tools and does own oil changes. Has shed with at least half a dozen gas-powered things (lawn mower, weed wacker, leaf blower, snowblower, wood chipper, etc.). Doesn't go to fancy restaurants and doesn't order drinks with umbrellas in them. Cooks on the grill at least 10 months a year and knows what to do with a T-bone. Buys beer by the case. And so on.

There is also the ruralsexual, which I hope to be when my kids grow up. I'll plant a double-wide on some rural plot of land and spend my days clearing brush, chopping wood, pouring gasoline down fire ant hills and sitting on my front porch with a glass of iced-tea strumming my banjo. Maybe I'll even chew some tobacco or take up a pipe. That'll be me in just a few more years when I inherit my parents land down in Alabama.

Let me give you an example of a man.

He can keep any car running that he has to but works to afford the best for his family.

He can fix anything in the house but knows when to call in an expert.

When he smokes meat out on the smoker he converts vegetarians. But if he has invited a vegetarian they will also be amply provided for at his table(his roasted garlic is to die for).

He is always honest and respectful until it is appropriate not to be.

He ensures the safety of his loved ones with proper security of his property and teaching them all how to use the guns he has given them if they didn't already have their own.

He opens doors, pulls out chairs, walks curbside for those of the female gender, stands when they are being introduced at his table etc etc etc...

Intelligent, interesting to talk to, polite, ambitious and did I mention honest?

I could go on but I think you get the idea. I may not be totally objective but I don't thing anyone could be more happily married.

Sorry ladies, I've been married to this one going on 23 years now. I am so in love.

Oh yeah! He wears jeans and flannel shirts unless he has to represent one of his businesses at the State House. Does yard work whenever he can and just bought a wonderful orange Kubota tractor with a front end loader,a bush-hog attachment and grass cutter. He got the little camouflage 4X4 dump truck too. He drives one of the biggest pickup trucks there is. He can haul anything. Not only has a garage of tools but all the guy toys. You know, paint ball equipment, roller hockey, rappelling, mountain climbing, compound bow, camping for all climates. He complains if I do something manually that he has a powered thing for.(from sweeping the front porch to clipping the hedges, I like things a little quieter) He doesn't care for beer but has been known to drink on occasion. We live in the north Georgia mountains. We are fortunate my self employed suburbansexual was able to move his business offices here where he can watch the deer and turkey while impressing the hell out of the bankers, developers, business associates and get this for making you guys jealous. Our business partner is big time into her sorority and entertains the girls up here as a sponsor. My husband on a few occasions has had to play chauffeur, chef etc to these young ladies. He has his helicopter pilot license but not his own bird yet so his trainer helps out and comes up here to give the girls rides. I'm sure he hates it.

Sorry, I'm blabbering and bragging. Sometimes I get carried away in my happiness and bliss. Thanks to my husband I was able to retire at 46.

We had a deal. The first 20 years of our marriage I worked and paid the bills while he did whatever he chose. At the end of 20 years I quit work and he would support me till the day I die. Did I mention how honest this man is?
