Christie Craig | TEN THINGS A CHRISTIE CRAIG HERO WOULD NEVER SAY
Recently I blogged about ten things a Christie Craig heroine
would never say. Well, living in an equal opportunity world, giving the male
gender their equivalent time in Blog Sphere-hey, I love my heroes!-itโs only
fair that I tell you the things their testosterone-laden counterparts would
never say. Then for kicks, Iโm gonna explain why one of my yummy guys would
never let those words slip from their lips. Please note, that I didnโt say they
wouldnโt think the words-my heroes are still men, they are just smart enough to
never say them. Or at least smart enough to only say โem once.
1)"Wanna hear me make farting noises with my armpits?"
We all know men are just little boys at heart. And we love it when they are
nervous and go out of their way to impress us. But a CC hero has come to
understand that what impresses his homies, i.e. burping lyrics to songs,
clearing out a room after ingesting a bean burrito, isnโt always appropriate
behavior with his woman. At least not until after the honeymoon.
2) "Sure I said I love you, but you didnโt think I really meant it, did
you?"
No hero of mine is gonna lie to get you in bed. They donโt have to pull that
trick. Their sexy grins and hot kisses make it hard for women to say no. When
they say I love you, itโs not just talk. Donโt take that to mean that my heroes
are jumping at the bit to take on the ball and chain. Chances are most of my
characters, heroes and heroines alike, are a little commitment phobic. That
just makes watching them fall smack dab in love more fun.
3) "Sorry babe, that guy has a gun and I found the spot under the bed before
you
did."
Itโs not that a CC
hero isnโt afraid. They know theyโd better bring an extra pair of undies
because there will be a couple of shit-in-your-Hanes moments, but when the crap
hits the fan, there is nothing they wouldnโt do to keep the woman they love
safe.
4) "Sure I believe in foreplay, I can do anything for 45 seconds."
Letโs face it, ladies, men are into whamming and bamming, and accidents do
happenโeven in my books. However, not only does a CC hero know that if he
wants seconds, the original entrรฉe better be worth re-sampling, he knows that
making his woman happy is a big part of his pleasure. Yes, to a certain extent
this is due to his ego, but underneath that is a man who really wants to make
his girl happy.
5) "Love your meatloaf, too bad itโs not as good as my mamaโs."
Itโs not that CC
heroes donโt love their mamas. My heroines know that how a man treats the
other women in his life is how he will eventually treat them, but to put it
bluntly, my heroes arenโt stupid. And comparing their womanโs cooking to their
mamaโs is a mistake they would never make. At least not more than once.
6) "Are you bloated or have you put on a few pounds? Shouldnโt you let me
finish
that cheesecake for you?"
For the sake of repeating myself, CC heroes are not stupid!
And Iโm not going to try to give you the saleโs pitch that love is blind, but
when a hero really loves his girl, her flaws, like his, are part of the package.
He didnโt fall for her because sheโs Barbie. Chances are heโs had Miss Perfect
in his bed and found out she didnโt fit into his life. He wants a real woman.
7) "Isnโt that womanโs work?"
Itโs true, my heroes are a tad macho. But itโs not machismo that keeps a man
from helping with the dishes or scrabbling an egg, itโs insecurity accompanied
with stupidity. Sure a CC hero has a few
insecurities, theyโre human, but you gotta know heโs man enough to wield a
spatula and a drying towel.
8) "I wasnโt cheating, I was just checking her for ticks."
Without doubt, a CChero isnโt a cheater.
Oh, you can betcha heโs good looking enough that he gets propositioned, and heโs
human enough that heโs tempted. But it goes back to that stupid issue, and I
donโt mean just him this time. He knows that the woman he loves isnโt ignorant
enough to believe the "checking for ticks" excuse, and he also knows part of the
reason he loves her is because she came with her own can of whoop-ass and
cheating is a sure fire way to get her to open that can.
9) "Is my butt too big?"
Donโt get me wrong, my guys can still be caught stopping by a full-length mirror
while naked, flexing a few muscles, and mentally calling themselves "hot stuff."
They are, after all, men, but my guys arenโt conceited or spend time worrying
about how they look, they didnโt go looking for the mirror, it just happened to
be there.
10) "I know itโs our first date, but would you like to be introduced to my
very
own Mr. DoLittle?"
Now, itโs not that my hero isnโt as eager to get my heroine in the sack as the
next guy. If you ask any of them, sex on the first date is gooder than grits.
But they have class, and would never rush a girl. I wonโt let โem, because
frankly the sexual tension is best when you have to wait for it. Also, while
my heroes wish I wouldnโt tell you, but like most men they do name their boy
toy. But no hero of mine would call his penis Mr. DoLittle. My heroine, in one
of her sassy moments, very well may call it that, but chances are, she hasnโt
gotten the opportunity to meet the fellow yet and is just being a bit of a
smartass. Which is something my hero likes about her, darn it.
Okay, there you have it. Ten things a CC hero would never
say.And what Iโd like to hear from you is, what do you think a romance hero
would
never say? Come on, letโs have some fun.

I think I could live with number one, but all the others are deal breakers.
(Jane Cheung 3:23am December 16, 2009)
I'll just take care of myself 'cause having sex with you is just too much work.
(Francine Infortunio 8:53am December 16, 2009)
Jane,
Okay, I have to agree, number one might slip by.
Thanks for popping in.

Francine,
Too funny. Thanks for stopping by.

I can't imagine a hero saying he'd have to check out what his friends thought about her before he went any further with the relationship.
I had a coupl'a others but other than checking with his MOTHER to see what she thought, I couldn't think of any two "worse" things to say:) The list is looking real good Christie (WG)...none of these bad boys could catch anyone worth having!:)
Loretta
(Loretta Wheeler 1:15pm December 16, 2009)
LOL He better not say you're getting a fat like Aunt So and So.
(Sandy Marshall 2:07pm December 16, 2009)
Hi Loretta,
Yup, I can see a non-hero guy wanting his bros to give the thumbs up.
Thanks for stopping in.

Sandy,
And when a girl asks if the jeans make her butt look big, he'd should know how to answer!
But in truth my hubby sucks at that one.
Thanks for dropping by.

Christie, your list certainly gave me a good laugh. Thank goodness my husband has never said any of those things. I certainly am lucky!
(Rosemary Krejsa 7:08pm December 16, 2009)
Thanks Rosemary. You must have a keeper. Doesn't mean he's perfect, but he's close enough.
Thanks for stopping by.

The list was hilarious. My hero would never say: real men don't wear condoms. I have actually heard it said & I couldn't leave fast enough.
(Mary Preston 7:56pm December 16, 2009)
this list was fun; it reminds me of a book a read by Linda Howard titled Mr Perfect; it was a wish list for a man in your life, hilarious, until it turned into murder.
(Diane Sadler 9:20pm December 16, 2009)
He would never say, "Did I REALLY say that? I must have been out of my mind!"
(Karin Tillotson 9:59pm December 16, 2009)
Mary,
Good for you girl. And thanks for stopping by.
CC
(Christie Craig 10:45pm December 16, 2009)
Diane,
Oh my, I love that book! I love anything by Linda Howard. She actually lives very close to where I grew up. I've had the pleasure of meeting her, even riding with her to a writer's meeting. She's one great lady.
Thanks so much for dropping in.

Hi Karin,
That's right real heroes own up to what they say and their mistakes. Even if it does cost them.
Thanks for visiting.
CC
(Christie Craig 10:50pm December 16, 2009)
This was fun. I'm against all "gutter" language, lol, and those oh-so-glib lies are not something I'd like to hear from my hero.
(Sigrun Schulz 12:07pm December 17, 2009)
I wanted to think of something for your list but I think you nabbed all the good sayings.
(Gigi Hicks 5:39am December 17, 2009)
Too fun, Christie! Just thought of another thing a CC hero would never say:
"Tiger Woods is my role model."
(Emily Bryan 8:01am December 17, 2009)
Sigrun,
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope the man in your life is real hero.
CC
(Christie Craig 8:06am December 17, 2009)
Gigi,
Thanks for stopping by. We gotta love those men. Well, most of them.
CC
(Christie Craig 8:08am December 17, 2009)
Emily,
I seriously think that takes the cake!!! Love it.
CC
(Christie Craig 8:09am December 17, 2009)
A hero would never say, if the lady becomes ill or disabled in someway, I'm outta here. Love is perfect in their eyes no matter what happens on the outside.
(Theresa Buckholtz 3:47pm December 17, 2009)
P.S. I love the cover of your book. Between my daughter and myself, we have 5 pugs. You gotta love a pug!
(Theresa Buckholtz 3:48pm December 17, 2009)
I think the cover of your book is a fabulous choice! It catches the eye and makes you want to laugh and to read it!
(Brenda Rupp 10:22pm December 17, 2009)
Hi Theresa,
Five pugs? Wow.
Thanks for dropping by.
CC
(Christie Craig 11:44pm December 17, 2009)
Brenda,
Thanks. I was thrilled with with cover.
CC
(Christie Craig 11:45pm December 17, 2009)
Hilarious as usual, Christie! And it just tickled me when you said, "Chances are he's had Miss Perfect in his bed . . .and wants a real
woman." I love Francine's comment too. Sometimes you have to wonder when they just want a quickie. ( Not that there's anything wrong
with one). BTW, I shall have to check out Mr. Perfect. Here's my attempt at something a romance hero wouldn't say:
"Let's not ride that roller coaster at the fair tonight. I had beans for lunch."
:-)
