And yes, back in 1998, when I was traveling a lot in my consulting days, I once had to sign an autograph.

I think I've got all the hair you were supposed to have...and then some.

It's got to be the Scots-Irish in me. Either that, or mom had a fling with a gorilla.

***TMI NOTICE!!!***

When my wife and I were dating, she wanted me to perform some manscaping, which I did...because, well, I thought it would lead to what every man wants...more sex. When I came out of the bathroom, she laughed...very hard...for at least 30 minutes. She said that I had a glow to my skin...like a spotlight.

I never did that again.

Last week, I wore a Holter monitor so the doc could record my heart beat over a 24 hour period. They had to shave 5 spots on my chest and sides to be able to get the leads to adhere to me. After removing them and showering, I saw my chest in the mirror...I have proof that I'm lilly white!! They had to bring out the weed whacker to clear the area prior to using a razor on me.

My wife has threatened to braid my back hair. She's also told me I could probably perform a good comb-over...from my back to the top of my head!

Yeah...I'm a Sasquatch.

I look like a silverback.

Women used to approach me and tell me I looked like Paul Newman for about a twenty year period. They would go out of their way to tell me often. I guess I could see some resemblance myself but it was only a slight resemblance to me at best.

The strangest thing of all was some women seemed to go into some type of trance situation when I was talking to them. It was like their whole being was fixated on me to the exclusion of everything else.

Even the wife when present. I would break it off as soon as I observed it was happening again. These women would have been highly embarrassed if they realized the state they were in. Every person present could see what was happening.

I do not think her observing this turned the wifes crank particularily. Especially as the frequency increased. I have to assume I am not the only guy that ever experienced this by a long shot but it may still be rare. Or rare in the context of the actual amount of times it occurred with me.

I never once took any advantage of those situations. As soon as the women surfaced again they seemed totally unaware of what their behavious had been like only a few seconds before.

I know it is hard to believe but if once observed leaves no doubt. I think the old expression was I mesmerized them by accident.. Possibly the tone of voice for all I know. More likely a combination of things. Whatever it was for the long period it randomly occurred in I never abused the situations.

So I cannot comment what may have resulted if I had requested certain things. These things I leave to you imaginations. There may be a simple biological explanation of why these event occurred or it too also may have been only a partial factor. You should have absolutely no doubt that what I experienced is possible. I lived it until about age fifty.

Women are still fairly friendly towards me or perhaps more so than average. Still the extremes of this has ceased happening about twenty years ago. I attribute my current status with them to my sense of humour being appreciated by them.

To wind this odd post up I had to somehow resemble gods gift to some women so to speak. At least In some ways for some of the events that happened over the years. No I am not gods gift to women either or do not see myself as such. I have had professional women and others tell me that if anything ever happens to me and the wife to give them a call. They where not in the trance state when making the requests either. The reality is they may have been dissapointed had anything resulted from this. Many situations in life can never measure up to expectations. Especially unrealistic ones.

I think one of the reasons to post this is to find out if others have experienced similar situations. I know I cannot be unique. Also a small or medium component must have been my semi lookalike appearance has to be a given in this.

Michael Douglas look-alike?

Were they good looking or were they the typical leathery Snotsdale sharks?

Wife tells me I look some like Sam Elliot, but only when I cowboy up....

Tom W...cool glasses! I'm not sure I see a resemblance with DeNiro, but ya never know.

I've never been told I look like anybody famous. When I put on weight, I've been told I look like the St Louis University Billiken mascot. My better half looks like Gwyneth Paltrow if you squint a little.

Well, hard to describe. I guess I look sort of halfway between Tom Selleck and George Clooney. At least, that's what all the ladies tell me. I can't keep 'em off of me. It's pure hell.

You gotta give Larry credit - at least he's consistent when it comes to the level of reality that is attributable to his posts!
