Joe Mantegna suddenly catblock / why I like Rossi

There is something about Rossi that is always sweet and hilarious. Gavin de Becker said that men are worried that women would laugh at them, while women are worried that men would kill them (for laughing/rejecting them). Well Rossi had always struck me as the kind of men who wouldn't be afraid or angry at a woman who laughs at him, even if it was in bed. Is this weird? The fact that he stayed friends with his first wife have me reading Rossi less as a man who have failed three marriages, and more as a man who have moved pass three failed marriages (or mistaken match-ups) - his id is not dependent on any conduct of 'his woman'.

Like, remember that promise he made to his first wife, about looking out for each other? I think Rossi definitely wants someone who could match him as an equal. (I remember there was a kink meme prompt about Rossi taking an interest in Reid after Uncanny Valley, somebody fill it please!)

OK, that reply was mostly a joke, but "what's in it for Rossi" is a Pretty Young Thing paying attention to him. And Rossi evidently has a Bureau-wide rep as a hound.

...but either he's changed since then or he's one of those guys who sleeps around a lot - but he actually does like everyone of them and it's not just looks.
