I swear My Hero is not a real life person...

He is definitely not one of my exs. #ok #fine #Kentisamashup

It is funny sometimes I get readers who say "there's no way anyone is that arrogant."

Um, wow, I actually toned DOWN the arrogance of my ex's for Kent.

I also love it when readers say "There is no way someone as professional as Nicole would fall for someone as arrogant as Kent."

Um, again, wow, I am a post-doctoral college graduate and trust me I've fallen for plenty of Kent-esque men.

I think women who pride themselves on their intellect are even more susceptible to the likes of the Kent types.

To meet someone who is not just your match in the brains department but can school you?

Oh, how I hate to admit it, but that is a rush like none other.

Now just BEING arrogance doesn't cut it for me. You have to be able to back up your strutting. If you act all that then can't deliver, I'm out of there (as would be Nicole).

But if you can talk the talk, then walk the walk? It is like heroin in my veins.

So for the record, Kent is completely fictional. I just had a lot of real life inspiration for him! #lotsandlots
