“Here come the twin towers.”
That’s how the Attorney’s friend Jeff referred to us as we showed up at his house for a dinner party1 last Friday night.
It was like the millionth time since I have known him that he has called us that.
I think “twins” is a bit far fetched, but I guess it’s fair to say that the Attorney and I are similar types. Which is sort of a first in my dating history.2
Which makes me wonder…just how much a narcissist does it make you when date somebody like yourself?
I mean everybody is at least a little bit narcissistic. You have to be, just to keep life from running you over. Sort of self-preservation.
But, like most things, it’s all where you fall on the scale.
They say that the longer couples are together the more they look like each other.
But, what does it mean when you start off the bat that way? A high narcissity3 quotient?
I like to think my narcissism falls pretty low on the charts. Sure, there is no doubt that looking at the Attorney cooks me ’til I plump. But it’s not the ways he looks like me that does it. It’s the differences that really put the starch in my loaf.
Mainly in how it’s all put together.
Same parts, different design.
He’s off a line in Munich. I’m outta Detroit.
I got more function. He’s got more form.
His parts seem to perfectly flow from one to the next. Mine are more attachments. Like Mr. Potato Head.4
If I have a narcissitic bone, it’s about…well…my bone. The attachment.
But I could never have been a Narcissus. Instead of falling in love with a reflection that I didn’t realize was my own, I would have been trying to get it to turn around to see if it had a nice ass.
Which I don’t, particularly.
But the Attorney does. Particularly.
Viva la difference!

Opposites attract. Magnets attract. Obviously two tall men attract–attention and each other. The ass part I’m going to leave alone.
A free word for you: narcissitude.
But after reading this post, you don’t suffer from it!
I thought Detroit was associated with malfunction.
Sorry, sounds like a bit of jealousy going on there. It’s sad when people envy others. Although I could be misinterpreting. Hard to say without more context. Anyway, you and the attorney clearly have a good thing going. I’m happy for both of you. Revel in this time. You have the best wishes of those who appreciate both of you for you are, albeit vicariously.
sorry thanks
sweet, and hot (the way I like my mustard)–another great post!!!
You should have the attorney post one day. We all would love to hear from him!!
Pigs in a blanket in the oven.
I realize that some men are camera-shy personally and others avoid the camera for professional reasons, but I think it would be lovely to have a picture of the two of you together on the blog some time!
Fucking brilliant piece.
To dissect why people are attracted (and stay attracted) to each other always seems self-destructive to me.
You start to question, you start to doubt – and it just seems counterproductive. If it’s right for the two of you – run with it. Fast as you can.
Funny. My partner and I have long been told that we look like brothers.Servers, store clerks, etc. often believe that they were talking to us when it was actually the other. We are within 18 months, 1 inch (height people, height) and 10 pounds of each other. Our hair is going grey at the same pace and in the same place (sideburns, streak in front – what were you thinking??).Funny thing is we don’t see it at all – we both think we look like our fathers who look nothing alike. I wonder if they are attracted to each other……
Hey Tony,I thought you had stopped posting forever.How wonderful to come across another touching and insightful post.Missed the blog.Obviously you and the attorney are still an item.Sweet.
Can’t seem to get through to your email. This doesn’t look right to me, and I thought you ought to be aware.

We would be very good friends. I’m convinced.
I was unhappy with your decision to retire LargeTony, and I’m delighted to have found you again. You’re better than ever, and I’ll be here regularly. Hey!
I so like this blog. I dont respond often enough because I always seem to be rejected. You appear thinner. Your words are always like Christmas. Dwight Williamson
