Good Ol' Boys


Just the good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm


Working on FH, I've featured a diverse selection of men from all walks of life.  I've featured many country boys, cowboys and farmers, but there is a difference between being a country, and being thought of as a good ol' boy.


Good Ol' Boys
A Southern born boy who is country to the core. He likes to hunt and could not be prouder of his gun collection. He carries one knife in his pocket and another in his boot, in case the one in his pocket gets confiscated. Usually drives a truck and listens to country. A hard working, honest gentleman, who prefers the simple life and is just looking for a girl or boy he can take shootin'.


Good Ol' Boys often get a bad wrap, and we all know the offensive nicknames they've been given.  Some of this has been well earned, especially in the time of Trump, but like every label we give other humans, stereotypes are never really helpful.


I grew up in the city, but moved more rurally when I was in my mid-twenties.  I've met many good ol' boys, and most of them have been kind and caring.  Sure, I've encountered a few ass holes, but no more or no less than I've encountered in every other area of my life.


I'm not a big fan of hunting, but living in the country, I also understand it's place and purpose.  I'm not a big fan of guns, but I also understand their place in rural life.  I don't think I could every kill an animal myself, but given I do eat meat, don't want to be a hypocrite.


So why the focus on good ol' boys?  Well, like most of my pieces, it began with a visual, an image.  If you scroll down, it's the image at the very bottom of this post. I loved the shot, especially the curve of the guys back and butt.  I was going to use the images as a 'one shot' post, but before long, I was googling 'hot naked good ole' boys.  Not surprisingly, images, sites and tumblrs focused on men in and out of plaid were plentiful!
