I would rather calculate the motions of the planets by hand, with pencil and paper, than attempt dating again.

Since when is NPR concerned about marrying the right “girl?” That is racist, homophobic, hetero phobic, trens-genderphobic........ Another reason this worthless piece of dung should be denied funding. Why is the public forced to essentially provide a job for a network of fools that cannot make it on their own? If Fox goes down, should the public bail them out? It's an upside down world.

When I met my wife, I noticed she put out frequently, liked professional wrestling, played video games, had a great body, was smart, and wasn’t infatuated with money or possessions.

It didn’t take long to put a ring on her finger - 3 kids later we’re still doing fine.

My formula was:
1. Find one who seems crazy enough to say yes
2. Marry her.

We hit 25 years next month - gets better every year

Reminds me of that joke about a woman seeking the ideal husband in a multi-floor department store, with each floor featuring a more ideal husband, with more winsome qualities, and even that candidate is not good enough, go on to the next floor up....

A somewhat well off young man had three young ladies to consider so he decided to put them to the test.
He gave each of them ten thousand dollars to see what they would do with it.

The first one spent it all on a shopping spree.
The second one put it all in the bank and didn't touch it.
The third own bought stocks, bonds, and other rather clever investments.

Which one does he ask to marry him?





The one with the biggest tits of course.

Yes, the Very Best Candidate might show up in that first 36.8 percent — in which case you'll be stuck with second best, but still, if you like favorable odds, this is the best way to go.

Makes no sense! If you're holding out for one that's better than any in the first group, and there is none, you are stuck with the last one you interview, with expected rank of (N-1)/2, but which could be the worst one.

I suppose this 1/e stratagem maximizes the expected rank of your choice. But after all, you're only going to do it once!

is an example of what mathematicians call optimal stopping)

This made me think of those times in a parking lot, driving down a long corridor of cars toward the mall entrance, wondering about the optimal time to just grab an available space (do I take this one, or drive just a LITTLE farther hoping for better one).

Not equating women with parking spaces, mind you.... :-)

How To Marry The Right Girl Man: A non- Mathematical Solution

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store .

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
