I'm not exactly sure why I find foreign guys 10000% more attractive than anyone else. I mean sure, there are plenty of attractive American guys, but come on. I have never truly had a die-hard crush on a guy from THIS country. Let's see....there was the guy from Mexico, the three guys from Russia, the guy from Egypt, the guy from Colombia, the guy from China, the guy from Brazil, the guy from Guatemala, and the guy from Germany. At any rate, you see my point. Is it the accents? The exotic good-looks? The allure of a culture that is unknown to me? I think it truly is the reader in me that is attracted to these men. They are a taste of something new, a whole world I haven't explored, and a hope for escape. They are different from what I am used to. All I truly desire in life is to write and to travel, so I think the curious, culture-thirsty side of me is the side of me that is attracted to these guys. I have been attracted to plenty of good, American guys, but they don't quite carry the same allure or mystery for me. So maybe one day I will find my prince, but who knows where he will be from? ;)
