RESTRAINT

I have known this for a long time, but this might be the first time I have actually spoken the words out loud:  I am attracted to repressed men.  Some women are attracted to nurturers and others are attracted to abusive drunks.  I like guys that look uncomfortable with/confused about their own emotions.  There is just something sexy about a guy who is visibly straining to bury his feelings deep inside himself right in front of you, especially if those feelings are about you.  He's kind of a lost puppy and that level of vulnerability in an adult man is kind of endearing.  But if you marry a guy like that, you're going to work.  Just...expect to work.
