| For better or for worse... |
I need to put something straight. LZK alluded that when I meet a guy, I’m looking for a husband. Men out there, be assured, that is not the case. When I met my husband, I was neither looking for a boyfriend nor a husband. I live in a university town and was just looking for a friend. Someone my age. I didn’t work at the university so…
My husband was definitely not looking for a girlfriend either; never mind a wife… I guess we both just wanted to find a good friend… The rest is as they say HISTORY!
Marriage can be sooo taboo with young fellows. So let’s just demystify this subject for a while. My friend sent me an email this morning about how men choose their wives. Read below:
“A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of ZAR 5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.
The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the ZAR 5,000. She gives him back his ZAR 5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her. Then, he married the one with the biggest bums (or breasts – some are boob guys). Men are like that, you know. You can never tell what they base their judgment on.”
So… I was just curious, what kind of things do women consider when looking for a husband? Also, what do you women think men want from you?
