Man Crush Mondays

QUEST MY THIRST

For those that “know” me, know that I have a particular type in men; but there are also those very few that can distinctively understand that my type of men are far more than just the good looks and tend to vary in extreme diversity. I’ve dated men who might have been considered the “holy grail” from the pursuit of women, but they’ve never lasted due to a lost of interest or they were just that of a mere pretty face. In most cases, I want more. Consider me picky, as I am proudly to say that I am. I need depth, curiosity and ultimately mystery. That’s what makes a man desirable to me. If I went after every “hot” guy that crossed my path, I’d be as cheap as a $3 hooker in debt to her pimp.

Men are as few in between as it is to find a solid relationship on Tinder; in other words, it’s rare for any guy to capture my attention and keep it framed. That’s why after a year since my last post, I’m devoting this month of Man Crush Monday  to one intriguing special guy who has kept me on the edge of my seat day and night thus far.

Meet Quest Gulliford, the captivating tattooed social media success that has girls throwing themselves at their computer screens only to be noticed by the exotic stud. Which is all too funny and entertaining at the same time. While there have been plenty beyond plenty of tattooed men all throughout Instagram, I haven’t felt the urge nor desire to look in their direction as my focus has solely been pinned on him. So what makes this one so genuinely interesting?

After coming across a video that popped up on my Facebook feeds, I noticed a group of four beautiful men covered in ink while bulking up their muscles, as that would catch almost any girls attention for that matter, but Quest was the only one that kept me engaged. He was unique, appealing and as I saw in a video following after, he had a man bun which has become all the new rage now a days in the millennium generation. Not only that, but when he lets it down, he reveals to having a luxurious glory of a half a head of hair that you could run your fingers through with ease.

Naturally, I followed Quest and even dared to add him as a friend; which is out of my element considering I’m pretty private with my own page. Unfortunately, he had more than enough friends preventing him to accept one more, but I was content in just following his post.

From there, I continued to follow up on all his lip biting social media accounts; ie Instagram, Twitter and even his YouTube channel which is in the process of a series. Like most influencers with a large fan base comes a lot of typical selfies and half naked photos, but Quest showed to have more depth and substance than the average social media model. I didn’t sense a superficiality in him. I saw a story to a best seller novel that hasn’t been released yet and I wanted a copy. Even after watching and studying his mini stream of videos, I just saw a guy that was taking in every moment of life.

To my utmost surprise, after taking a chance to engage with him through a tweet in hopes that he’d respond back among his adoring fans, he became very receptive contrary to his popularity.

While it might not be uncommon for even that of a celebrity to engage with their followers, it’s still comforting knowing that he stays humbled showing his fans that his love for them is also reciprocated.

For those that may not know, Quest isn’t the only inked man crush that I’ve ever highlighted in my blog. Actually, guys in ink are possibly one of my few weaknesses; but I’m not talking about a bird tattoo or minimal tribal art, I might go as far as to say “either go all or go nothing at all” even though I still like to  see some visible skin. Rick Genest was my first mention of my love for men with tattoos who has completely covered himself and made a mark in the fashion world through his body of art. Honestly, that worked for him, so I don’t expect Quest to do the same as I find him perfect as he is.

So lets go a little bit deeper as to why I chose him after only a week of introduction. He’s ambitious, focused, and spontaneously inspiring which makes him incredibly sexy than he already is. Sure that might seem like a generalized trait for most people, but in fact, I find that it is not; and if there’s an inkling, it’s most likely temporary or complacent through the smoke and mirrors of a facade. He possesses an ambition that anyone can have, but it’s admirable for a person of his age to seek longevity in long term goals.

Throughout my peaked curiosity, I started to noticed subtle changes in all of his photos; not only in just his physical appearance, but also in his overall pursuit into new endeavors. That’s where I began to acknowledge that he was self made; a molded mogul  and that I highly respect.

Not so often do I find guys in his age range, 25, where you can define them at a level of maturity whereas most guys of his age tend to still be in the crossroads of adulthood and child’s play. Having a penis doesn’t always equate to “manhood” on a psychological basis, but hes surpassed that perception. Ironically, while I am typically attracted to younger guys, I find it a supreme attractiveness in knowing ones purpose in life after going through a birth canal and executing that purpose fearlessly. You don’t find too often and that’s what he has done.

Though I’m considered fairly young to most, I still come at an age of tradition, morals and respectable work ethics; and I’ve found that my deep rooted opinions of social media nowadays tends to vary.

The Ethel to my Lucy duo blogger and best friend, Lauren, had me on the hunt to find just one video where we could actually hear him speak. Sometimes, words and intellect speaks in volume over just a physical appearance.

After I did some further research, I came across an interview where he expressed his development to becoming a successful entrepreneur and what initially inspired him. Without going into full details, he accepted responsibility, owned accountability and emulated a strategy that was passed on to him. From there, something clicked that altered my perspective. Not just by the premise of realizing why it may be imperative to be consistent with your image through the world of social media, but mainly that he strives for much more than what just meets the eye. He was raw. He was real, and his statements were nothing like most conversations that have had little to no value.

It’s a given that my curiosity has created an enticement which goes to say, opposites attract; and he just happens to be the opposite thats attracted me.
Aside from his inner and intellectual beauty, he’s a devoted family man; a self-perceived “loner” and homebody; has moves and swag for days; an eyebrow arch that makes you weak in the knees; a smile that takes your breath away; and he stands at a towering height of 6’3 that would make me want to climb him like a tree.

Can he get any better than this? Well, there’s still a lot more that we just do not know, but he continues to hold my interest as I hope to gradually find out more. I’m still curious as to knowing what made him continue to make art of his body and what type of cologne he wears. Maybe that could be in an exclusive one on one interview for my Wow Wednesday. Only time will tell.
Quest, you are my Man Crush Monday and you are definitely the quest I want to be on!
