I see what you're saying. Maybe growing up with abuse and chaos has influenced what attracts me in a man, or maybe it's maturity (and I've had quite awhile to ripen!). It is interesting stuff.

And it seems that most of the guys in our generation, including me, are "nice-guys". Stable? Yes. Kind? Yes. but boring, weak and dis-passionate.

I'd never call you boring, weak or dispassionate, Theo. Far from it. There's that very solid and strong inner core which is so obvious, and is far from weak.
