In the movie X2 or X-Men 2, Jean Grey tells Logan/Wolverine, “Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, Logan. They don't take him home. They marry the good guy.� I remember nodding in agreement because women want their husbands to be good guys, don’t they? They want nice men, right? Then I thought of my dream man, the one I dreamt about when I was a little girl. He was exciting! He was dashing! He killed dragons and climbed towers. He carried me off to into adventure on his white horse. My Prince Charming was just not simply nice or good. He had all those gentlemanly characteristics, of course, but he was also…dangerous.

Nowadays, there are very few men who are the type of dangerous like the Prince Charming is in little girls and women’s dreams. There are probably even fewer dangerous Christian men, which is a let down because as a Christian woman, I personally must marry someone who shares my faith and preferably Prince Charming as well. Is he really not out there? Maybe he’s hiding or being hidden, and just needs a little encouragement to come out. Here are five ways a Christian man can be that dangerous and dashing Prince Charming.

1. Learn how to throw a good punch.

Let’s face it. Prince Charming knows how to slay dragons. The Israelites knew how to fight. Even Jesus went on a rampage overturning tables. Do you ever wonder how come He wasn’t stop? How come all those vendors, buyers, priests, and probably guards did not stop Jesus? Maybe they could not. What carpenter doesn’t have muscles? Jesus was not a wimp. He knew to defend God’s house and He did that very well. When need be, you, Mr. Christian man, must know how to physically defend yourself and your lady. Learn how to fight, but don’t pick them.

2. Sweat.

There just seems to be something that draws men and sweat together, and no matter how much women might eek and eww, we know that sweaty men are not couch potatoes. So sweat by playing sports. You don’t have to be a jock. Everyone have different personalities, and some are more artistically inclined rather than sports inclined. Still, learn how to throw a football, shoot a basketball, hit a puck, swing a bat, or even rock climb. Learn and apply. Sweat by hitting the gym. Lift those weights. Tone those muscles. You can even sweat by learning how to dance, because c’mon, Prince Charming does not have two left feet. Just get out there! Sweat!

3. Know what’s under the hood of a car.

Naming your car, referring to it as a “she�, talking to it, and making others take off their shoes before getting in is going way overboard. Popping the hood, taking a look, and knowing what is possibly wrong scores two thumbs up. You don’t have to be a mechanic and you don’t even need to know how to change the oil, but at least be able to know how to handle minor problems or when to rotate the tires or when to get new break pads.

4. Be a camping veteran.

After being kicked out of the Garden of Eden, Eve survived because Adam survived living off the land, and he taught his sons how to live off the land as well. Sons of Adam, learn how to live in the wild, or off the earth. Go camping. Please don’t be barbaric, but be able to set up a campfire, set up a tent, fish, hike, and survive outside the corporate world.

5. Learn how to cook. I know, I know.

I can hear your protests. Even though most world known chefs are men…I’m not asking you to cook a soufflé or know what to do with caviar. Handle the grill. Be able to make [your name]’s famous BBQ ribs, or cook a mean red alert chili because frozen dinners and take-out just doesn’t cut it.

Prince Charming is out there. He is somewhere inside Christian men. They just have to let them out. When dangerous and dashing Prince Charming is combined with faith filled and God-loving Christian men, all I can say is, Jean, girls can take home the dangerous guy.
