A Perfect Hero!!

September 17, 2013 By Mimi Barbour 2 Comments

 

 
A while ago I asked my friends on
facebook what attributes they thought made a man into a hero.

 

 
 
 
 
 

This was the list I received:

Smart

Funny

Strong – takes charge

Strong – but kind

Kinda like an Alpha Male

Protective

Compassionate – but still takes
charge.

One who can laugh at himself but
not at others

Protective

A man not a male

Honesty, a man with integrity

Empathetic (Compassionate)

Active and purposeful

Fantastic
sense of humour

Honest and trustworthy

A tease with a sense of humour,
but not to the expense of others.

Loves animals, and children

Protective

Ruggedly handsome, with a beard,
and just-out-of-the-bed hair

Tall and strong. (Blonde)

Respectful towards women

Honorable

Has a sense of humor

 
Naughty – but nice
 

Once I’d compiled the list, I saw that a man being strong
and protective was a huge point in a woman’s favor. It surprised me because in
today’s world, women seem to be so self-sufficient. Of course, many have no
choice.

It’s kinda nice though to think that we ladies still
appreciate a man who can make us feel that we have someone to lean on. As much
as I like a guy with a good sense of humor, I do admit that I still expect him
to be “the man”.

So – when I write my heroes from now on, I’ll be checking
this list and choosing which special traits he’ll have. And because I like to start off with a flawed hero most times, he might just have to hide these qualities at the begining of the story. It’s good to torture characters…right? RIGHT??
 
Next list I will ask them to fill in is the heroine’s. We need someone
special for this guy…
