Beowulf Top 10 Why You Should Date Beowulf
1. He is deep.
You can’t get a really sensitive AND manly guy these days, but Beowulf does not disappoint. He really knows how to get to the heart of the matter.
“Wise sir, do not grieve. It is always better
to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.
For every one of us, living in this world
means waiting for our end. Let whoever can
win glory before death. When a warrior is gone,
that will be his best and only bulwark." (1384-1389)
2. He is famous.
Not many people have a great reputation like Beowulf, and he is the talk of the seas. A guy with a great reputation has gotta mean he is the datable type.
“A crew of seamen who sailed for me once
with a gift-cargo across to Geatland
returned with marvellous tales about him:
a thane, they declared, with the strength of thirty
in the grip of each hand. Now Holy God
has, in His goodness, guided him here
to the West-Danes, to defend us from Grendel.
This is my hope; and for his heroism
I will recompense him with a rich treasure.” (377-385)
3. He is unbelievably strong.
This dude can freaking bench press a lot more than any of us. He has got weirdishly strong strength, but you ladies know what that means: big ol’ Beowulf has got a body. Yes, a body that only the gods could match. He brings the whole package.
“The captain of evil discovered himself
in a handgrip harder than anything
he had ever encountered in any man
on the face of the earth. Every bone in his body
quailed and recoiled, but he could not escape.
He was desperate to flee to his den and hide
with the devil's litter, for in all his days
he had never been clamped or cornered like this.” (749-756)
4. He is loyal.
In this day in age, a woman needs to be able to trust a man. Beowulf is fiercely loyal to his king and his people.
"Nor have I seen
a mightier man-at-arms on this earth
than the one standing here: unless I am mistaken,
he is truly noble. This is no mere
hanger-on in a hero's armour." (244-251)
5. He is brave.
This is pretty self explanatory. The dude fights Grendel, his mother, and a dragon.
“And now the youth
was to enter the line of battle with his lord,
his first time to be tested as a fighter.
His spirit did not break and the ancestral blade
would keep its edge, as the dragon discovered
as soon as they came together in the combat.” (2625-2630)
6. He is confident.
Guys, ladies want a confident woman. They don’t want a guy who has no self esteem and is constantly questioning themselves. They want a man who has pride and the confidence to live life.
“The man whose name was known for courage,
the Geat leader, resolute in his helmet,
answered in return: "We are retainers
from Hygelac's band. Beowulf is my name." (340-343)
7. He is successful.
Beowulf defeats Grendel when no one else could. He wins battles and he becomes a great king. Success is a huge turn on for the ladies, and also provides them with a comfortable life style. Beowulf can provide all of that.
8. He is kind.
Not only his Beowulf tough and brave, but he is also a nice guy. When he is crowned king, Beowulf is praised as a great king who is kind to his people. In short: Beowulf has a sensitive side to the people he cares about.
“They said that of all the kings upon the earth
he was the man most gracious and fair-minded,kindest to his people and keenest to win fame.” (lines 3180-82)
9. He does community service.
Beowulf does service for his community. He goes out of his way to sail to Daines land and ride them of evil.
“Your deeds are famous,so stay resolute, my lord, defend your life now
with the whole of your strength. I shall stand by you.” (lines 2666-68)
10. HE IS BEOWULF.
