Fiddler on the Roof - MatchMaker

Watched the video recently and thought it might be kind of cool if we went back to the old tradition of arranged marriages.

I think I could do a pretty good job with my boys. I especially like the dowry tradition, considering the fact I don't have any daughters.

So, if I was to seek out the right match for Nick, here's where I would start.

Physical attributes:

Cute, petite. Not necessarily athletic, but enjoys running, biking, and rollerblading enough to keep up with Nick. Prototypes are Emmy Rossum or maybe Natalie Portman.

Careers, Interests, Hobbies:
Good career choices would be English, Literature, or Spanish teacher, psychologist, nurse. Has to love music - if she's a great singer and/or musician, that would be perfect. Must like going to concerts. Should be intelligent enough to hold her own or challenge Nick with discussions on philosophy and music.

Personal Traits:
Cheerful, upbeat, positive. Steady, not moody. Able to pick Nick up when he's way down and pull the reigns back on him a bit when he's soaring too high. Also able to understand and accept his mood swings without judgement but with empathy and support. Likes long walks and deep conversation, equally mixed with fun.

Preferred Role:
Good housewife desirable, but not required. Willing to share housework and cooking with Nick. Willing to trade cooking duties with Nick and appreciates his culinary ability. Got to be great with children.

With Nick:
Is completely dedicated and committed to Nick through good and bad, but not smothering or possessive. Knows when to get close and when to give him space.

That was fun, now let's do Tim:

Physical Attributes: Pretty, athletic, preferably blonde. Prototype is Maria Sharapova.

Careers, Interests, Hobbies:
Doctor or Nurse, teacher or coach, Personal Trainer. Loves sports. Likes to stay active, try new things, play games. Must love animals, especially dogs. Loves movies.

Personal Traits:
Fun-loving, bit unpredictable, adventurous. Likes to keep things light, never too serious. Sees Tim as the only guy that can keep up with her. Loves to laugh. Social and outgoing, but not dominating. Cannot be hard-headed or opinionated.

Preferred Role:
Traditional housewife. Willing to take on household chores and cooking, because Tim won't. Leaves maintenance and yard work to Tim, which he can be convinced to do. Should want lots of kids and plenty of animals in the house.

With Tim:
Keeps the relationship fresh, fun, and adventurous. Is devoted to Tim but not posessive or smothering. Strong ability to influence Tim to see things her way by making him think it's his idea. Tim's partner in social activities, work, home, and family.

I'd do pretty well, don' t you think?
