When working as a medic in an outback mine I met the most thoroughly stupid, obliviously uninhibited man who seemed to solely be driven by instinct and emotion. I couldn't comprehend the possibility that he might of had any semblance of a rational thought in his life. After work he would bring me fish he caught, once a couple of kangaroo legs, or anything else he thought I'd like. It was so unexpectedly, strangely charming. Like a cat leaving a dead mouse at your doorstep. He would stand there telling me of the various ways he "almost died yesterday", swearing, shirtless, pointing out scars and battle wounds. Obnoxiously trying to impress me, but in such a way that seemed so pure. He was always so happy that he was getting to simply speak to me.
His loyalty and moral compass was also unmatched by anyone. He would cook his mum dinner each night, loved her with all his heart. He treated me like I was the most beautiful, fragile, lovely creature he had ever seen. He got into a fist fight with someone who said something about my tits while at a machinery accident, we weren't even dating. All he wanted was to protect and provide and to be loved and appreciated. He was beautiful. I ended up spending a lot of time with him and his family.
He made me realize that all my written down requirements of a man don't mean anything unless they come with the highest value hearts. Even though he was someone who didn't meet a number of my standards the absolute love in him swept me off my feet. I never met another like him back home, I dated rich and educated men who where perfect on paper. He showed me the importance of a beautiful heart.
