And the sense of humor and oulier thought patterns? My dad was like that, so for me anyway, I "get" his humor.
His boasting about his sexual escapes without remorse does not engender in me feelings of the loving grandfather type. Just because he has aged well he gets a pass? Are you suggesting that his infidelities have made him the lovable teddy bear he is today? Maybe for you. Not for me. I think that there is a “way to go” mentality from other men about his sexual conquests. Not for you specifically but among some men.
