Entrevista

• ¿Cuéntanos un poco acerca de ti mismo? Algo que te gustaría que otros sepan absolutamente sobre ti.
  We'd like others to know that what is seen and heard isn't always reality. Life is complicated, roads are winding, and paths for each of us very different. There is more than one way to live fulfilled and we have found our version of it.
• ¿Cuáles son tus pasatiempos e intereses?
  Related to the question about fun, we don't have too many hobbies. I guess we need to find some. What with work and family, there's not much time left for them. Ace has been trying to get Tyler to pick up golf, but he hates it. Otherwise, we just piddle around the house and keep on the road going places.
• ¿Qué “esfuerzo adicional” haces en tu vida?
  There's no off switch for either of us. Treat others as you'd like to be treated and the rest takes care of itself.
• ¿Qué haces para divertirte?
  Netflix and chill with each other. The occasional canoe trip. Adventures to explore new places. Bar-B-Que night. Pizza cheat day. Being satisfied after a day spent working in the yard. Watching the dog chase squirrels she never catches. Visiting with neighbors at the mailbox. Washing the car on a hot summer day. Any beach anywhere!
• Cuéntanos acerca de la mejor experiencia que has tenido en la vida.
  We think the obvious thing to say here is that we found each other. But the cool thing about that is the way we share what we have with those around us. Makes life pretty great overall.
• ¿Qué te distingue de todas las demás personas que conoces?
  Well, honestly being on this site is fairly differentiating. Kinda unique among the friend base.
• ¿Cuál dirías son tus mayores atributos?
  We are just going to suppose this doesn't mean physical attributes. Photos tell that story, I suppose. We specialize in accepting people into what we already have as a couple. We like sharing our world with other people and getting to know the real person. The greatest attribute we have is the ability to disarm and surprise.
• ¿Cuál es tu "especialidad" o que te apasiona?
  Obviously being an older couple is a niche all by itself. Also, have suitcases of leather gear, so that's a scene we get into. Tyler calls it macho drag, but it's something we like. Otherwise, we have this otter/bodybuilder/Daddy-thing happening. I guess we don't have just one angle.
• ¿Con qué frecuencia viajas? ¿Prefieres viajar o eres una persona hogareña?
  We should have answered the question about what you can't live without by having travel as the #1 thing. Ace travels for the day-job, so he's gone every week somewhere domestically or internationally. Tyler has a more retail-hour-type job and is home a lot taking care of things. We do travel every six weeks somewhere together, though. We live in a small city between Memphis and Birmingham, so we do go there a lot. We also hit Atlanta, New Orleans and Nashville a good bit, too.
• ¿Qué tipo de dieta y rutina de ejercicios sigues?
  We take things pretty seriously in this category, but our bodies are very different. We do the gym 5-6 days a week working one body part each day. Ace needs a little cardio to maintain leanness, Tyler doesn't (completely unfair genetics...lol). Otherwise, we are just typical weight lifters. Love those guys who are into the crossfit lifestyle, but that's not us. We just lift and keep the diet clean.
• ¿Cuáles son tus características específicas de estilo de vida que te hacen quién eres?
  Lifestyle specifics are what brought us together as a couple. We live almost identically even though we came together as a couple later in life. The way we work, play, exercise, enjoy friends is virtually identical. We are really fortunate like that. It's nice to have somebody who's your friend as well as your partner, right?
• ¿Qué te gustaría que los lectores supieran acerca de ti que es único e incluso un poco personal?
  Being Daddies applies figuratively and literally.
• Si nos sentamos en la playa, a beber y comer solo tú y yo, ¿qué me contarías de tu persona y tu vida?
  I'd tell you a little about our journey to this point. It's been wildly different for the two of us. We come from different backgrounds, coming-out experiences, religious identities, and even regions of the country. We are asked a lot for advice, which we never give, but we will always tell our stories and how things happened for us.
• ¿Qué deben saber otros con absoluta certeza acerca de ti?
  Others should know that what motivates us to be here may not be for the reasons they think. The motivation is different for each of us and probably isn't what you'd expect it to be. Also, our age is our greatest asset. At this stage in life, we know what we are doing.
• ¿Qué es lo que más te gusta de ti?
  The thing we enjoy most about ourselves is the amount we have in common. We like the same food, music, we share clothes!! So lucky we both wear the same sizes. We just like the way we are with each other and I guess that's what makes us a good couple.
• Nombra 5 cosas sin las que no puedes vivir.
  The first thing we couldn't live without sounds cheesy, but would be each other. We are joined at the hip and have so may common interests. Next would be extended family. Again, cliche we know, but family is very important. Third is pizza cheat days. Definitely look forward to those. Fourth is gym time. We just feel better when we are consistent. And the fifth thing would be movie date night. Nothing better than popcorn and Icee for dinner holding hands in a dark theater.
