Marriage Material And The IPhone Watch

Without Prejudice

Apparently looks matter a lot to men and to women too when it comes to " Marriage Material" or so the " experts" say. Men like a good looking, sweet smelling woman and Women like a naughty wild man but not as marriage material. Then she wants a good Father to her children. 

I think there is a scale of good looking that matches, if you are a five or consider yourself a five you will feel most comfortable with a five six on the scale. If you are an eight the same. Unless you are in a " trade off " e.g. Money for looks, intelligence for looks. Let's face it as we age and we all do, looks no longer matter that much it's more about love, companionship, shared interests.

When you are younger it could be more about prestige, and that is shallow but true. Or a genetic meeting when you think a man will give you healthy progeny. 

But mainly it comes down to chemistry. When you meet " the One " you will know. And trust me, you do. 

I always wondered how you would know, love, rather than just lust and never believed my Mother when she said those words, " You will just know " 

I am a converted believer now. I know the difference. 

It's the person you feel like you can tell anything and they will never judge. It's the person you feel most comfortable with, the person you strive to be a better person for. The person that doesn't leave your mind even when you are hating what they do. Or is your best friend and is the first person you want to tell good or bad and news to. 

The person that has your back, that stands up for you even when you are wrong. That gives you the freedom to be yourself, just as you are. Not thinner, or taller or with bigger boobs, but just you as you are. Even when you are shitty in the mornings, or have the flu or feel down. 

They are the people that make " marriage material." 

That want to commit to you as you make them feel better, and marriage is a commitment unlike just " living together ". The people that see a wonderful future with you. That are not scared to make that leap. That want to share their life with you. And do not see it as " losing money " if they are rich and have been burnt before. 

I think marriage "prenups " are a great idea. Who wants someone else's earnings ? I don't. I want my own earnings, otherwise it's meaningless. 

And speaking of meaningless, today, the next IPhone six is introduced. Not so different to the first IPhone but I like the idea of the watch. I remember my brother George saying in the seventies that one day we would have a watch that would be a phone. I thought at the time he was crazy. That would never happen, but It's here. 

Fantastic.
