My new crush...

Yes--I found a man who has a lot of the important qualities I want in a man. He is hunky, a gentleman who loves his mama, he loves animals and works with horses and has a pet donkey. He has a sexy voice with an adorable southern drawl and is polite and uses the words "I appreciate it" and "Ma'am" a lot.

And he is on a reality show.

Okay--I have heard plenty of people fall for the various men on The Bachelor and Survivor and all the other reality shows. But I HATE reality shows--for the most part. I DO watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy religiously, and I admit I get a chuckle out of the try outs for American Idol. But really, I cannot stand the thought of reality shows.

Yet, there I was the other day, with I Want to Be A Hilton on Bravo. And there he was...Jabe. A ranch hand from Joshua, TX. Beautiful, strong, polite, and HOT!!!

I am sure in reality he is a conservative republican and that we wouldn't agree on anything, but the beauty of reality shows, is that they aren't reality. In MY reality, he is perfect in every way. Except that I could never love a man who would give up living on a ranch with all of those beautiful animals to hang out in New York with Kathy Hilton. Or appear on a reality show.

Maybe I am not as smitten as I thought.

So, reality TV is a lot like my reality. I think I have found the perfect guy, and he fails to live up to my expectations.
