Okay, let’s get right down to it – what is a hot man?
Many women reading this immediately flash on to a guy they, ahem, admire: Brad Pitt, Tom Brady, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey Jr., George Clooney.
What do these guys have that earn them the status of HOT?
Or, to put it another way, which guys in your life would you call McSteamy or McDreamy?
With the help of my family photo album (full of spouse, son, brother, son-in-law, nephews, cousins), I’ve come up with 15 reasons a guy makes it in my “oh la la” considerations.
1. Romantic
2. Athletic
3. Smart
4. Conqueror of Nature
5. Sense of Humor
6. Not Afraid to Sip Girly Drinks
7. Good Dancer
8. Cooks for a Crowd, or Just the Two of You
9. Good Appetite
10. Helps Babes in Distress
11. Captains the Seas
12. Enjoys being a “hot” dog
13. Loves Babies
14. Lifeguards on the Beach
15. Cuddles Cousins
As a writer of romantic suspense, I create men who embody these 15 characteristics. In my “hot” off-the-press, just released e-book, Twin Desires, main character Sandra must figure out who is the good guy, and who isn’t, in a thrilling story of intrigue, murder, mystery, and romance.
The Sinclair twins may look alike, but one is “hot” in the best sense, one is not. Can Sandra figure out which one is her “McDreamy”? Download Twin Desires on your Kindle or Nook. Remembering my 15 points of hot men, you may figure it out before Sandra does.
Now that I have checked out your hot men, I better check out your hot book :-). Nice work!

Ohh, if I’d thought of it, I would have definitely added ‘temperature- taker of bathwater’ – good one. Let’s see, which 4 does not describe you? I guess #6 and 11. Otherwise, you’re probably being too modest.

What makes a man hot…hmm. Don’t try to tell me how I feel. Respect me. Allow me alone time. Understand that I might have my own opinion. Love of family, children, and grandchildren. And don’t ever, ever try to take me away from my grandchildren. No bigotry. Must like to read and must like to read my short stories (or at least support my desire to write). And when you asked the question, I immediately thought of Sean Connery. He’s old, but then so am I!

Ahhh, Sean Connery (did I ever mention that I named my son…Sean?? – I think you know the reason). Another trait I thought of is “Musical.” But no one in our family has a tiny bit of musical talent. But show me a guy playing sax, and I’ll, well, never mind.

The men in your life, are definitely ‘hot,’ which I wanted to include in my original comment! The ones mentioned, may or may not be, like we agree, it is what they are that makes the true meaning behind a ‘good’ man or ‘good woman.
