Hey, Dad, did you say women or we-men?

Excerpt from “Love You Dad”

“Yes, Ok, you might eventually be a ‘wowman’ for a moment… Get it? A ‘wow-man’… You might get some brownie points, seen as a politically correct statement on legs, but boring as hell. A boring husband. The wow factor dissipates quickly once it’s taken for granted, it loses the second ‘W’, it starts sounding much more like a simple ’wo-man’…

Chad paused a moment to make sure he had the undivided attention of his audience.

“… And that’s the end, because a woman needs a MAN who possesses her, not another woman. A man who can firmly keep her on track, ride her as he would ride his horse. A man with a firm hand, who knows what he wants and who can read the map of life… Women need men who can read maps right, because they can’t! They need someone to lead and show the way. Women don’t need women, they need we-men… ‘WE MEN’! That’s how we men become and stay forever WOW-MEN… I believe in my dad’s theory” 

Hard to tell who was doing the talking. If it was Chad or his dad, or his dad through Chad. 

Enough to restrain from any stingy response, apart from the usual ‘you’re such a chauvinistic pig!’ shot with intellectual superiority and a slight lift to the side of that tiny facial muscle between the top lip and the nose. How could anyone be mad at Chad? He had such an angelic look behind the many layers of irresistible Romeo, French gigolo, arrogant know-it-all, uppish British colonial expat, insolent smart-ass, and American Marlboro Country cowboy. A better-looking, more perturbing double of Brad Pitt.
