I Want a Husband

In a society where finding a partner is viewed as an accomplishment and fulfillment in life I am one of millions of females who are currently in a search for a husband. But upon looking for a husband, one must know what type of husband to look for.

In terms of background I want a husband who is an orphan or at least an only child. My husband must integrate himself in my large family. I have no interest to join another large family and therefore require my husband free of attachments. Because of this I want a husband who wants a big family and will happily join mine with no reservations. My husband must be enthusiastic about learning my culture while maintaining respect for his own. I want a husband who is unafraid of learning my parents' native language, who is not embarrassed of his own mistakes and who will encourage our children to learn.

My husband must be educated and I expect him to be smarter than me. He will keep work separate from home and have a dreadfully ugly older secretary. I want a husband who will make so much money it will not be needed for me to work. But I will still work and my husband will respect that. I want my husband to take care of the bills, the paperwork and who will only tell me about such things if I am needed. He will not touch my personal bank account unless it is to add to its balance. I want a husband with wanderlust and with the means to do so. He will share my tastes, preferring Finland to Costa Rica. On these trips he will take care of the tickets, accommodations, sight seeing. I will gladly take care of packing and the children but I want a husband who will offer to help.

I want a husband who is healthy. He must be fit, not overly large, but never skinnier than me. I want a husband who is a vegetarian or at least will respect my vegetarian diet. My husband will never chastise me whenever I stuff junk food in my mouth and who will listen as I rant about incompetent coworkers. He will cook (or hire a cook) so I will have no such burdens. He will allow the kitchen to be my domain but by no means ever try to keep me there. My husband will love my sandwiches and ask for them lovingly. I want a husband who will be sensitive to my femininity, who loves that I am a lady. He will be masculine. My husband will be a Yankees fan (it will never work if he is a Red Sox fan) and root for Germany's football team in international games.

In the end I want a husband who loves me but who will only declare such sentiments on the rarest occasions. He will share my passions, challenge me, and encourage my ambitions because he has such ambitions of his own.

But Anderson Cooper is gay so....
