Because "again, all that one can hope for is an open market. Boredom has always played more of a role in human history than we are prepared to admit. And we should never underrate the boredom induced by empty ideas pretentiously paraded". Jerome Bruner wrote those wise words, very applicable to people who, much like ourselves, are in love with love. However, we do experience a conflict between empty ideas vs. gut feeling (there is no doubt in our mind where you belong). But, point taken.

We roamed through grandpa's old library and found a tiny book called Ord på Vägen. A completely, to us, unknown Jakob Billström spelled out what we know, adore and find most frustrating when it come to love;

"Kärleken skall vara en gåva av en annans fria och för den själv likväl oemåtståndliga vilja. Den kärlek man erhåller av medlidande, efter böner, efter hot eller gräl ... vad värde har egentligen den? En kärlek som byggs på rättigheter är ingen kärlek."

Vi kan erövra det mesta vi åtrår utom ett: den äkta kärleken. Den är suveränt fri, går obönhörligt sina egna vägar. Hur vi än åstundar den - är det inte bättre att avstå hur det än svider, om den inte är helt frivillig? I kärleken måste givandets och tagandets vågskålar väga jämnt.

Because while we are wondering what course in rudeness and mis-communication the majority of boys in Stockholm have taken, there are still some breathtakingly beautiful man's men out there to keep our spirits up.

Because Rockaway beach got closed down today due to sharks in the water, and we see tendencies of the turn-of-the-century male fashion being challenged by the more casual tropical look. Although we love beards, nothing beats the cocktail lounge feeling of hawaiian shirts, a moustache and tanned legs. Or maybe it is simply the overwhelming feeling of summer that is getting to us.

Because the name Peter, derived from the Greek Πετρος (Petros) means "stone". And just as we were beginning to think our heart had turned into granite or frozen to ice, it started beating again, around three'o'clock yesterday afternoon. The guy said wonderful clichés such as "Aha, you're not letting school get in the way of your education" and "Always under promise, and over deliver". We love stuff like that, and what we love even more is the feeling that really good, possibly the best, guys do exists.

Because you were a social conscious, consumption critic before today's skånska rappers could drop a beat, your favorite candy is French Delights, so much of what you create is a wet dream of pastels and we love the Johan Renck-turquoise&wooden panels™.

By the way, it's not wasted youth. Growing old is a privilege denied to many.

Already fans of the Swedo-Americano combo, we have now found something even better - the Danish-Americano. Preferrably born in New York and raised in Argentina. Just like our future kiddos.

Well, your shirt goes awfully well with the balloons below.
So, cheer up, handsome.

Tony Ward is possibly the handsomest man on Earth. If you can justify Madonna's love, there is basically nothing left to prove.
But "I prefer to be a man," he says, "That means providing for my kids, teaching them about life, you know, stepping up to whatever comes your way."

Aaah, beard and brains. Our favorite combination.

We love the name Bill. Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Bill Shakespeare. Compared to the sensitive soul of Will, Bill is much more powerful and charming. Backyard Bill takes beautiful pictures of beautiful people and reminds us that an apartment in Brooklyn and a house in the Catskills, inhabited by a kind, bearded man, top our list.
(If speaking of worldly things).

Daydreaming of Pacific islanders is much more easy at hand since we've entered the winter darkness. And you remind us of a guy we once liked. We had been living a block from each other on the same street for sixteen years and never met. When we finally did meet it seemed like a done deal, Rubik's cubes and all, but apparently that's not how it works.

Art director Ruth Ansel knows we love scruffy men even more if they occasionally put on a tuxedo and buy us diamonds.

Since you're obviously one of the most beautiful men we've seen.

Because we sometimes prefer male super models, plus there is actually an online guide to the career of Andrés Velencoso stating facts like "V Man features Velencoso and his workout routine" and "Begins to date Kylie Minogue".

Over a breakfast meeting we decided that Benny Andersson is the optimal guy - a bear like, cheerful sweetheart with a beard (of course) who would serenade you with music (occasionally Abba) around the clock and who just oozes kindness.

Speaking of Google statistics; 10,100,000 English and Swedish pages found for Al Pacino World's Greatest Actor.

And we could not agree more with the quote from Scent Of A Woman; "The day we stop looking, Charlie, is the day we die."

Waris Ahluwalia, you are the maharaja of our make out kingdom. The sophistication and zen like coolness you radiate, brilliantly complement those sparkling black diamonds you have where most other people were born with eyes.

Because, without knowing it, we bought your old copy of FN-stadgan och världspolitiken in the second hand student book store, since it gave the impression of having the best notes and high-lights.

Although not the biggest fans of that clean-cut, business approach you are sporting these days, we do remember a charming, funny and smart young man who once did the technicolor yawn in our stairwell.

And because we could play chess together, you love costume parties, and do stuff like this with your pals;

We adore sharp minds, and this guys says things like;

"Jag vill kunna erbjuda kunderna en doftshoppingupplevelse, det har gått lite förlorat i Sverige."
and
"Det kommer inte bli så galet indiskt utan tanken bakom tågvagnen är snarare det klassiska sättet att resa – blandat med en apotekarkänsla."

We don't understand what Ben Gorham is talking about, but if you look like a sophisticated pirate who is hiding a heart of gold beneath that tattooed skin and create your own perfumes, it can be very intriguing.
