Found this question on an Instagram reel as dating advice for girls if they don’t know what to talk about and that men have a lot of opinions about this. Let’s see if she’s right.

    Cowboy, no contest.

    Samurai’s lives belong to their masters. I couldn’t live that way.

    Pirates live by killing and stealing. I couldn’t live that way.

    That leaves cowboys. Certainly not the glorious and romantic life Hollywood makes it out to be, but generally honest work toward specific goals and freedom otherwise, which’d be fine.

        Reminds me of a neighbor I had years ago who was an archaeologist.

        He said once that archaeologists are basically cowboys with degrees - that the work they do is often just sort of a way to get out into the middle of nowhere and camp for weeks at a time and get paid for it.

        And yeah - I can see the appeal.

      Also you can be a “cowboy” today, right now.
