So Why Am I Doing This? |
Welcome
to 10k4awife.com
Still
Looking 12/03/04...
I'm
planning a complete redesign of this site in the next few months.
Check back in soon and find out why what you've been assuming about
me is probably wrong ...
Yes,
I am offering a $10,000 reward to anyone that introduces
me to the woman that I propose to. She does NOT have to say
yes for you to get the reward. No, if you yourself
call and we marry, you don’t get $10,000, but you do get me...
In that case, I'll donate it to a charity that promotes parenthood
as being the most important job in the world. I realize that
the vast majority of people reading this won't be compatible with
me. That's why I'm offering the $10,000. Trust me, if you do you
will have given me the greatest gift anyone could have given me.
I can assure you that you will receive the reward.
If you remember
nothing else from this entire website please remember this!!
I have talked with many people that I'm very compatible with and many that
I'm very
attracted to, but VERY FEW THAT I AM BOTH. Don't presume!
There is so much info that is derived from seeing someone in person for a brief
second that we take for granted. If I had all the perfect
matches (personality & physical attraction) that everyone thinks I'm
getting, I'd have several kids on the way by now... Stop
thinking I'm too good to be true or there is something wrong and believe
for once! |
| First thing, let me state that my goal is not to just get married --
it goes far beyond that. So what do I want to achieve out of all this? It’s
simple; an assurance that I have REALLY done everything I can to make sure that my true
love and I both derive the most fulfillment from life. I hope to
never consider divorce as an option.
Why Not the Regular Approach?
That’s what everyone asks me when they meet me. They say
"What’s wrong with you? Are you desperate?" Then they proceed to say,
"A good looking, successful guy like you shouldn't have any problems getting a
date" (this is usually older ladies). Let me clarify something: This is NOT about
getting dates or just getting married. Also, I am NOT TRYING TO BUY LOVE. I am
simply trying to give people that know someone that may be compatible with me some
encouragement to contact me. It is about why society never seems to take a logical
look at why marriages are failing.
Current statistics say that one-half of all marriages will
end in divorce! To me if we are making a decision that could possibly affect us for the
NEXT 60 YEARS, we SHOULD want to make sure our approach to that decision is a good one --
right?
But, we don’t. We have been taught that "When you
least likely expect it, it will happen" and "If you stop looking, love will come
to you." I just want to know -- if I quit my job tomorrow and sit at home, will
a company call me up "out of the blue" and offer me the perfect position of my
career? Or, if I want to find a home, should I not call a realtor because it might
impede me from stumbling across the right home? Sure -- I’m as romantic as the next
guy, maybe even more so. The fact of the matter is that a divorce is NOT very
romantic.
Let’s take a look at society over the last 50 years. We
put a man into space on a monthly basis. With the touch of a few buttons on the phone you
can have a four-course meal at your doorstep in 30 minutes. We have electronic devices
that allow us to communicate from anywhere in the world, yet, they still fit in the palm of
our hand. We can tell who is calling us before we even pick up the phone -- or maybe
choose not to. Yet the method of meeting the right person (which has the potential to
affect us more profoundly and for a greater period of time than any other experience in
our lives) virtually has NOT changed. No wonder the crime rate among teenagers
has sky
rocketed in the last 20 years. Could there be a correlation?
Me being silly with a piece of kelp
that looked like a brain that I found on the beach
My 35th B-day... Ouch! I want to move to
another state at some point. So don't think that just because I live in
St. Louis, MO, we
can't meet! I have a lot of travel points! |

take charge..."

No, there is nothing wrong with me and I can
assure you that I am not desperate. I do have a high degree of confidence
that allows me to be unconcerned that many people may find this highly unusual.
I have achieved many of the important things in
my life -- (a challenging career, health, wealth and my own home) and realize that all the
money in the world can't bring me the fulfillment that the passion of the right
relationship with my best friend can. People always tell me that I am "being too
picky", and then proceed to tell me the following year that they are filing for
divorce. I am going to do everything I can to ensure that my future family and I
live in a healthy, happy and stable environment…
Believing that I would always find my true
love is something that I have never given up on. I want everyone to realize that I
strongly believe that the primary reason people can't find a compatible partner is a simple
lack of exposure.
