Second Interview With Guy Brodie:
Second Interview With Guy Brodie:

PGE: Good to talk to you again Guy.  We're still getting to know you better, so let's get right to it. What do you look for in a woman?

Guy: Um, well I don't really set out looking for anything in particular.

PGE: Ok, well describe your IDEAL woman to us.

Guy: (thinks hard and shifts in his seat)  I think above all else her personality would have to go well with mine. If our personalities conflicted too much, it would never work out, so I think that's the number one thing.

PGE: Go on.

Guy: I'm really impressed with women who are nice, friendly and respectful most of the time, but who aren't afraid to be naughty when the time is appropriate. An ideal woman would act like a lady in public. She would have respect for herself and those around her. But in the privacy of the bedroom, she could be as naughty as she wants to be.


PGE: Hmm, well we expected you to say "Gotta be beautiful, have nice…."

Guy: Hey hey, no it's not like that. Maybe if you asked me to describe my ideal FANTASY woman… That would be someone I would dream up just to sexually please me… I thought you wanted me to tell you about my ideal "real" woman.

PGE: We do, we were just trying to be silly. Ok go on.

Guy: I don't know, I guess she would also have to be good at comforting me when I needed it.  Men do need comfort sometimes…  I think a good wife has the same qualities as a good mother. But the guy has to remember that his wife is not his mother. And another important thing is that my ideal woman would have to be my best friend.

PGE: What would she look like?


Guy:  Doesn't matter too much.  If our personalities matched up well, we were best friends and in love, than almost any way she looked would be acceptable. But in all fairness I don't believe a relationship would work out if you were put off by the way the other person looked. So there is a limit, but with me it would take quite a bit to put me off. Good looks are for actresses, I'm more interested in how we'd get along.  I'd rather have one long marriage to an ugly woman who I really loved, than six marriages to beautiful women who I was just lusting for.

PGE: Nice answer, let's move on. What about religion?

Guy: Religion?  I don't like religion much to be honest. I don't believe in God.
PGE: You're an atheist?

Guy: If you MUST put a label on it I guess I would be.  To me I just don't have a religion and I don't believe in anything spiritual.

PGE: What do you think of people who are religious?

Guy: You can believe what you want to believe. I don't mind if you believe in God or not. I just don't like it when people preach to me and try to make me believe what they believe. Things of a spiritual nature should be personal and completely up to yourself to decide.

PGE: So if a girl broke up with you because of her beliefs would you be mad?


Guy: You mean if she believed in God and broke up with me because I didn't?  No I wouldn't be mad.  I might be a little sad but not mad.  That falls in with conflicting personalities like I mentioned earlier.  That's just an example of a relationship not working out because you're too different from each other. That's just life and it's no reason to be mad at each other.

PGE: Will you marry my sister?

Guy: (laughs) I haven't met your sister.

PGE: Just kidding.  Do you drink?

Guy: Yes I do, but not too much.  Drinking is a part of the Aussie culture. Beer's the national beverage here. (laughs)  I don't see anything wrong with drinking responsibly.

PGE: Ok, do you smoke?

Guy: No. I don't think I could handle smoking.  I hate just being around people who are smoking.  I couldn't date a smoker.

PGE: Have you ever done any drugs?

Guy: No. Not unless you count alcohol or the caffeine in soft drinks as drugs.

PGE: Cool. Ok next question, what do you think of sex before marriage?

Guy: Hmmm, I think that's really up to the people involved. If you're of age and being responsible I don't see what the problem would be. Sex is not by default a bad thing. You just need to be careful you don't end up with an unwanted baby or disease.

PGE: What do you think of "Abstinence Only" type education programs?

Guy: I think they are a little dangerous to be honest. People are going to have sex regardless of how many times you tell them they shouldn't. It's better to teach them as much as you can about sex and the risks involved.

PGE: How long should a couple wait before they have sex?

Guy: I would say until they are comfortable with each other.  By then the woman should know if the guy is only looking to score or if he's serious about a real relationship. It's silly to say "Wait until the 3rd or 4th date."  You shouldn't put such a defined time stamp on it.

PGE: Thanks again for your time Guy.

Guy. Thanks mate.
