With so many people shacking-up these days, it would mean something completely different if the heading of this article was about choosing a good husband.
Most women are first interested in finding a good man, then they will decide whether he is good enough to be a good husband.
A good man and a good husband need not be the same thing, not in today’s world when commitment is no longer viewed as the most important thing in establishing relationships.
People are quite happy to shack-up together and not even think about the Big Question.
For some, it is much more convenient and happier to have a relationship rather than a marriage. Some people even prefer to be single and disengaged.
As Rodney Dangerfield once said, “My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.”
So how does one decide on choosing a good woman?
One man devised a plan. He was having trouble choosing from among three candidates so he gave each one of them $5,000 and watched what they would do with the money.
The first went and did a total makeover. She tells him that she did this to make herself more attractive for him. The second woman goes shopping and buys him all manner of gifts.
As she presented him with the gifts she told him that she spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.
The third woman invests the $5000 in the stock market and earns $50,000. She returns his $5000 and invests the difference in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.
Which one do you think he chose?
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money that he gave her. Then he chose the one with the biggest bust.
One day this guy went home and told his mom that he had just met the woman of his dreams.
“Where does she work?” his mother asked him.
“She does not work,” he replied
“Does she have her own business then?” his mom asked.
“No she lives with her parents?”
“Does she have her own car?
“No”
“Is she in line for some inheritance?”
“No”
“Did she go to college?”
“No”
“Then what is so special about her?” his mom asked
“She can cook!” he answered.
You may ask what about love, is this not the most important thing in finding a good woman? No it isn’t, simply because you have to find the person before you can love them. And even when you meet someone it is not always clear whether what you feel is love.
Two guys were once discussing this subject. The first guy said, “I thought that I was in love three times.”
“Thought?” asked the first guy. “What do you mean?”
“Three years ago, I cared deeply for a woman that wanted nothing to do with me?”
“Was that not love?” asked the second guy.
“No that was obsession. Then two years ago, I cared deeply for an attractive woman who did not understand me.”
“Was that not love?” asked the second man.
“No that was lust. And just last year I met a woman while I was on a cruise. She was pretty, intelligent, a great conversationalist and had a super sense of humour.
Everywhere I followed her on that ship I would get a strange sensation in the put of my stomach.”
“Well, wasn’t that love?” asked the second man.
“No. That was motion sickness.”
Then there was this man who was in a restaurant confiding to a friend the qualities he desired in a woman. He was direct and to the point. He said. “I need someone to seek and find me.
I need someone to confine me to my bed for days on end. I need a woman to make me shake and sweat and grunt and moan until I beg for mercy. I need a woman to exhaust me and make me weak for days.”
And old woman who was sitting nearby overheard him and said “You don’t need a lover, you need a flu.”
