Twenty-six things a perfect guy would do

If I had to describe this man and his writing style in one word, it would simply be fearless. Even though I don’t fully agree with his word choice and use of language, I have to admit that this website would not be as popular or successful if all of the articles were written in a more conservative form. The racy comments and overall offensive material draws attention from the audience, whether it is in a positive or negative sense. In the article entitled Twenty-six things a perfect guy would do, and other propaganda disseminated by misguided women, this man created a commentary based off of a woman’s list of perfect qualities in a man. Of course, he listed them out, one by one.

The first quality this random woman listed was that she wants a man who “Knows how to make you smile when you are down.” To this, Maddox wrote, “The door swings both ways, B****!” Then, when this woman stated that she wanted a man who will “Stick up for you, but still respect your independence,” his translation was that women want a man who will “Bail you out when you fail at life, but never bring it up during conversations.” Later on in the list, this woman wrote that she wants a man who will “Come up behind you and put his arms around you.” Maddox’s reply: “Sounds like something out of a herpes commercial.”

Although his commentary is extremely vulgar and offensive to most women, I found it really amusing. This guy really just forces his readers to view situations and relationships from a completely different point of view. In the past, I would have considered this list of “Perfect qualities” in men to be helpful and relatively insightful. Now, however, I have realized how ridiculous some of those fantasies really are, especially through the eyes of most men. Even though the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops probably would not approve of this website, I have to give this guy a little bit of respect for truly speaking his mind and not giving a crap what anybody thinks about him. My guess is that he's sitting at home right now, reading another form of hate mail, and laughing out loud.
