...you would enjoy being in his presence, despite your frustration about not being able to peg him right off the bat. He's enigmatic and you have a difficult time compartmentalizing him, as he fits in many different boxes (and it's yet to determine if yours is one of them). He both reinforces and challenges your concept of men from the south. As an avid listening of NPR, he knows a little bit about everything. He's an informational jack of all trades, master of none. He has a leanness that suggests that he is physically stronger than he first appears, and skin several shades darker than golden, a result of years of landscaping in the sun. And although he wears a sweater, you would bet your beer money that his chenille is concealing a wicked farmer's tan. He's the embodiment of southern comfort, always going out of his way to accommodate others, and the feminist in you dies a little each time you find yourself thinking that you wish he was a little less sweet, and a little more manly.
