Rhett Butler is my ideal man. I have been fortunate to find a man who loved me and married me who embodies my favorite Rhett Butler qualities and more! Like Rhett Butler he is tall, dark, handsome, masculine and casually elegant. He is also strong, smart, sexy, hilarious, kind, compassionate, realistic and giving. Like Rhett remembering to bring Mammy a gift home from the couple’s honeymoon in New Orleans, my husband is always thinking of others, people who others may not think of or give to. Like Rhett, my husband loves children and animals.

Once Rhett came on the scene, I never understood Scarlett’s continual fixation with Ashley. And also, I think Rhett could have done much better himself. Rhett and Melanie, perhaps?
