There's just no way to get around: "If it doesn't concern a Big City LCN guy, it's of no concern " :-(
Better that you read and fantasize about a guy you never knew or even met rather than consider some small city guy. That little known small city guy probably lived a better, less stressful life than the life that the guy your dreaming about let alone what it would be like to live his life. It is what it is :-(
