Girlism's Good Guy

In both movies, Legally Blonde II and Charlies Angels II, the good guy who is dating or marries these Alpha Females is a guy who is really okay with them being powerful women. In the first movie, Reese Witherspoon play's Elle who's beau is a Harvard Law Professor. He doesn't mind her interrupting him in class to tell him she's booked Fenway Park as their wedding location. He doesn't mind her being a big wig lawyer downtown in a big law firm. He doesn't even mind when Elle decides she must leave Boston and go to Washington DC to enact legislation to stop cosmetics' companies practice of testing mascara on pets. He's right beside her, even when they move the wedding from the Fenway to DC. He's not threatened by her notoriety or power. His male ego is in check.

In Charlie's Angels, Natalie (Cameron Diaz) has a boyfriend who is really okay that Natalie has to run off and kill people sometimes on a Saturday afternoon, even if they had planned to stay home and smooch. He is supportive and not threatened by her occasional karate toss which lands him on his back in the dirt. Male ego -- well, yes, but it never gets in the way.

Who are these modern post-alpha male miracle men? Here's the darnest thing -- they're the same guy. I don't know why or how it happened, but both movies cast the same actor -- Luke Wilson -- to star as the powerbabe's beau. Yes, Luke Wilson is the post-alpha male, take a look at him ladies and gentlemen.
