I am not claiming to be a super athlete (on the WAY lower end of that scale!, even in my youth) nor a wealthy powerful man, nor compare myself to this uber alpha Brady. He is a giant in his field and I am under no delusions I am "like" Brady. Of course women are attracted to those types.
HOWEVER, I can tell you categorically that women are also attracted to risk takers and men on the outskirts of society. They are intrigued and drawn to the unorthodox, unusual and (interestingly enough) the "bad boys." Then they marry and begin trying to hammer those same men into models of security, stability, and predictability. This is Gisele and Tom. It has been the story of many of my friends, my brother, and brother in law. I myself was extremely unorthodox in my pre marriage years and did almost nothing "normally." Huge (sometimes crazy) risks. I promise you would want to hear the stories. It was exciting to her, appealing, and thrilling. "How people normally do it" had no place at all in my reasoning and planning. This had its good sides and bad sides and I have experienced both.
Now those very areas are horrifying, threatening, and causes of great tension. We celebrate 44 years in a few months, so I have obviously had to give a little (as has she). My funniest line from some of the spectacular arguments we have had over the years was "WHY, whenever you find yourself in the middle of the road about ANYTHING, do you immediately begin looking for a ditch to swerve into?" Called me to a "T". It is a weird dance, this male/female thing. For love to "win" in life, you simply must die to who you are at times in order to serve another person. The woman must "die" to a whole different set of drives, but the call to - in effect- murder a part of who you are... that is at the core of learning to love. That is a very very tough lesson. It is made harder when you are so successful you can wave your hand and make things conform to your wishes (the wealthy and powerful).
I hope for reason, humility, and most importantly, love for Tom and Gisele. I don't see much hope in them finding that resource within themselves, which is the normal place people look...., even more so for "successful" people. I wish them the best, and am beginning to understand that spectacular success would have utterly ruined me, and made me happy to be a little man.
