Wow… I never knew I’d get so much attention from watching a TV show and writing my opinion. To all I am grateful for you stopping by to read my blog.

@ David – I am honored you stopped by…Thank you for your time. Please forgive me if I insulted you or Kristen. This blog post was written after only watching two episodes of the show. As you know I only have so much to go on from my living room vantage point. In this last Episode I saw more of Kristen and you that will go into another update. On the mom thing… My mother in-law lived with us for a year once and it was a bad experience for me…so, I was simply reflecting on my past. BTW: Kudos on the six-pack! No need to see them…save it for your lady…I’ll trust you!!

Actually, if you saw me with my shirt off you’d see that this 44 year old does still have 6 pack abs!!!! More importantly, I teach my kids the value of keeping in shape, exercising regularly and eating a mostly healthy diet. As for all of the suitors being pretty average- you are way off there. Each of the suitors that I met was interesting and unique. The different personality types and attitudes that were cast were all those of some pretty amazing men from very different walks of life. As for Kristen being quirky- that is part of what makes her so appealing. Living with your mom may not be the ideal situation from your perspective or even mine, but from the kids perspective it must be a real bonus. Since the most important job any of us ever undertake is raising our kids- any extra help is a blessing. After meeting Kristen, her kids and her mom all I can say is the kids seem to be really benefitting and what more could you ask for? The rest of your points are well expressed and for the most part I agree. Keep up the good work on your blog.

Sounds like the statement “Women are like wine” is true. Your description is honest, warm and upfront. I am not looking for the “walk on the beach” every weekend b/c that is not reality. I want my Beshert. I want funny, romantic, serious, goofy…I want reality. Thank you for opening up your heart and I heard it all the way in VA!

[...] Just a Man’s Journey seems to like the fact that the men on the show — many of whom are single dads — “looked pretty average to me. None of the potential suitors were guys with six pack abs…” [...]

@ single mommy – It would be hilarious.

@T and Exception – I didn’t mean to come off all clingy and immediate. The dating process is one that does take time. I guess I just know what does it for me and I am unfortunately looking for those attributes. I am attracted to many things…however after the dizzy high (that comes with infatuation) fades, it is time to real and ask…where is this ever going to go? No one wants the games right?

@Single Mom Seeking – Of course I would. Full time single dads may be a minority; however we face a lot of the same struggles you do. I tend to relate more to single moms more than anyone else. I seek out your wisdom and advice…cause let’s face it…Dad’s can be Dad’s…we can’t be mommy. I think if you can work out the blending issues…two solo parents coming together could really work. They understand each other and that should always be there to keep focus on what is important… My next partner will never have to worry about being second fiddle to anyone or anything.

I like the idea of a questionnaire. I could just bring it with me on the first date and have them fill it out as we enjoy our meal. I’d go over it when I got home and call him to tell him if he passed or not.

Unfortunately it would probably scare them off.

Thanks for this honest review of the show… and your own thoughts if you’d been cast as one of the suitors (would you have gone for it?). On my next posting about the show, I’m gonna link to you, okay?
