Gug's House

I'm going to use this article from my sister's issue of TIME that she left at the apartment about romance novels to check which qualities that women are looking for fit me.  I'm going to pull words phrases from it and make a list and then see which ones fit me.  Here's a link to a PDF of the article, albeit maybe not legally http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/17553586/1204987445/name/Time%20Article%20Hardy%20Man%20Good%20to%20Find%20Dec%205%202011.pdf (Hi there, SOPA.)
