I do...
Let's just say that I have a very random bunch of friends. While playing taboo a few nights ago, out of the blue Nicks asks "If you had to pick someone to marry right now, who would it be?" Fil, Leigh, and I came up with answers in no time flat... when we asked Billy and Jacob a few nights later, they could not give us an answer. What does this tell us about the differences between the male and female psyches? Haha, I honestly have no idea... it made me think about why Fil, Leigh, Nicks, and I picked the people that we did. Nicole picked "lou," shall we say, because he's jewish and he'll be "financially viable in the future." Leigh picked a long time crush, Fil picked one of her best guy friends, and I picked ---. My friend Mike's theory on why I picked who I did: "perhaps because the feelings you had for him were the closest you've come to that of a relationship and you associate them with marriage." I think that's a pretty valid statement. It's also possible that he was the person that most closely matched my "ideal" type, whatever that is anyway... but as Mike said again, " its hard because people at our age usually dont regard someone they would marry the same way as someone they would want to hook up with or go out with, and we usually dont think that seriously about qualities we want in a person." I had previously thought that I knew exactly what I wanted in a husband though. Ha. Who am I kidding? Sure, I may know that some qualities that I look for will never change, but on some of the others... I've only live 18 years of my life so far, and I'm sure college will be a life-changing experience. Am I wrong to have certain expectations of my future spouse? I don't think so... as long as I'm willing to be flexible, it's all fine and dandy... So, who would you marry?
