The Leading Man

Since the last post was on the subject of children, this will concern the children’s father. This subject is rather a…well, it’s not a subject I like. That is, I don’t like the idea of having to marry and making sure I choose the right fellow, nor do I like the idea of  the small population of young millionaires in the world.

I believe I could marry for money. I am not an Elizabeth Bennet and I know that money does  make a significant difference (although notice how Jane Austen’s characters so conveniently fell in love with men that just happened to be rich). Looks and money do matter, and love really doesn’t. Friendship is more important than anything– well, actually money is, but friendship is a close second.

Whomever I marry I need to make sure will be good to any children we have. Nothing is more taxing on a Mother than being a Wife…and vise versa. 

I really have no preference to style and looks (good nose and chin are all I ask), I do, however, have a preference to Nationality. Jewish, English, Scottish or Norwegian are all good with me. I might let a few others on the list, but only a very few.

The property is important. The family is important. The title is very important!  He doesn’t have to have one, but if he does, I would prefer something more extravagant and aristocratic. Nothing like “Sir Blah blah blah”, anyone can be a Sir. But if he were born with it, that would give it something closer to dignity.

Talent’s and hobbies are also important, but that’s still up in the air. Singer or painter? African big game hunter or Rugby player? I have no idea, and that’s something that can be changed anyway.

Character? Phlegmatic or Sanguine.  Intelligence? As much as me or a little more.  Age? Anywhere from my age to fifteen years above. Occupation? Hopefully he won’t need one, but if he does, I’d say Politician, Professor (of anything but math), Writer…whatever…just something with brains.

I’ve got to do the dishes now (which, by the way, will be done by a maid in the future), but at least I finally posted. And what a post.
