You do have to wonder, what would happen if a rich man did marry one of these women and then, due to stock market crashes or some other unforeseen event, lost all his bucks? Or if he suddenly was diagnosed with a long, lingering, degenerative disease? Would true love conquer all? < /sarcasm>

NOTE TO WOMEN: Concerning physical attractiveness and sex appeal, "happiness is the best cosmetic" according to Naomi Judd, but love is even better! according to the Savage Beast!
And kindness, thoughtfulness, honesty, honor, intelligence, sense of humor, trustworthiness, sense of adventure, and good values are fantastic cosmetics!
Any woman who's got qualities like these will attract men no matter what she looks like.
Furthermore, many women who are attractive to men are not pretty if you look carefully. If she's rich in the above qualities, men will think she's beautiful whether she is or not.
Some of the mose devastating women are not pretty. But men don't care.
"Scarlett O'Hara was not pretty, but men seldom realized it when cought by her charm."
This is a classic, age-old icon. And there are much better examples of it in literature, history, and the world around us. Take a look!
And a woman doesn't have to be superwoman either. All she really needs is to be loving, thoughtful, and kind.
It also helps to have sprezzatura! LOL &;-)
with apologies to someone....... : )
"an assumed air of doing difficult things with an effortless mastery and an air of nonchalance" (Count Baldassare Castiglione in Book of the Courtier.)
"... a deliberate nonchalance, the illusion that even the most difficult things are easy... Anything unessential is disdained. The presentation is so direct that it seems to be improvised, and so natural that it seems it could not go any other way." (source)
Either you have it, or you don't. I think it is a gift, like one is blessed with a talent upon birth. It is used to advantage or squandered/wasted. &;-)
Hey, just what every millionaire wants and can't find: young, ambitious and educated. LOL!
And you maintain an intimate familiarity with the Italian High Rennaissance--among other things--while exploring the wilderness of Alaska? Wow!
