1. Change a Tire. This sounds like a
small thing, but every man
can be a simple hero just by
being able to quickly change a
tire for the damsel in car
distress. Even better when
you can pop the hood and
finger something under there
for a minute and have my
motor purring.
2. Be like MacGyver. Remember that show? I do and that guy would be
handy to have around. As a government agent, scientist, and former bomb technician, he was able to solve any complex problem
using ordinary found objects.
Sure a guy that can afford to
hire a repairman is fine, but
most women will tell you
that a guy with Mr. Fix It
capabilities is a gem.
3. Be able to fly a plane. Well
disasters happen don’t they?
From pilot heart attacks to
terrorist takeovers, it seems all
leading men have the uncanny
ability to save the plane from
going down.
4. Skilled at hand-to-hand combat. Whether I’m kidnapped by a sadistic sex trafficker, accosted on a train by a manic homeless man, caught in the crossfire of warring gangsters, or being chased by bloodthirsty zombies, at some
point you must be willing and
able to defend my honor or
protect me in the face of danger.
Thus having a Green Beret
tucked in your back pocket is
appreciated, as are martial arts
skills the likes of Bruce Lee.
5. Expert Marksman. Along with the
ability to kick some serious ass, being
able to handle a weapon is a must. In
fact, you really should have a secret room behind a faux wall that holds your one man army arsenal.
BREAKING DOWN THE HOLLYWOOD HERO
6. Rouse a crowd. Whether motivating his
men to battle, inciting a mob to action,
or even diffusing an impending
mutiny, my hero has a way with
words that moves the masses and
instills passion in every audience.
7. Can take a beating. Even
though you’re a total badass,
every hero knows that there is a
time to fight and a time to turn
the other cheek. And there are
times you might have to take a beating to spare someone less able to defend themselves. And you have to take that beating with true grit.
8. Be an amazing kisser. You’ve got to be
able to make time stand still, almost
make me faint, and completely
make me lose myself with the
first touch of your lips. And
obviously you must be
physically strong since I may
swoon so deeply you’ll need
to catch me before I drop to
the ground.
9. Lasting love. Your love needs
to stand the test of time, distance
and resistance. Waiting years to
prove we are meant to be together like Ryan Gosling did in The Notebook or crossing vast country and never giving up like Daniel Day Lewis and his famous knee melting quote: “I will find you!” in Last of the Mohicans.
10. Mind blowing sex.
Obviously this should be
a no brainer. Every
Hollywood hero has a
raw unadulterated
sexuality that is palpable.
He can be soft and gentle
in his tender love making,
yet strong and commanding
when he “takes” you, leaving
you breathless and devoted as his.
