okay, so maybe not completely about men. But, truly, what makes Mr. Darcy so much more alluring than some hen-pecked idiot? (other than the whole hen-pecked idiot, I suppose) My hen-pecked idiot example: Detective Jack Stork (from Kristy's Story [prohibition])
Fitzwilliam Darcy *pros*
1. Handsome
2. Arrogant?
3. Willingness to admit faults (when not too arrogant)
4. He's in a classic novel known as one of the greatest romance novels of all time.
Jack Stork *pros*
1. Handsome with not too many imperfections
2. Hen-pecked-ness
3. Humbleness with a touch of old-fashioned dignity
4. He loves his mum (and where's cool spats)
Darcy *cons*
1. Arrogance
2. He's like two hundred years old
3. We know his every fault and mishap
4. He's English (Yes, that's not always a good thing)
Stork *cons*
1. He's not THAT handsome
2. His love for his mun makes him a moma's-boy
3. He's a cop - which puts him in dangerous situations
4. He lives in a time period where alcohol isn't permitted (which is SO terrible)
Any more? COMMENTO
(AND NO, it's wasn't a collaborative effort, the last blog post. B and Antony kind of appeared whilst my publishing it, so I added them into the big ole' cauldron)

"Post on Men" !? Rawr!
Despite the promising title, there isn't too much (many?) men in general here, aside from a comparison of Mr. Darcy, who we all know Asiat loves, and Mr. Jack Stork, who none of us has ever 'met'.
While we're sharing words o' wisdom:
We should not fear failure, rather we should fear success at the wrong thing.
I don't remember where I heard that one! ^_~
The Renfest
