My Best Man's Wedding

The best man is usually the groom's responsibility. After all you have a maid of honour and a gaggle of young bridesmaids to tend to. Yet traditionally, if (heaven forbid) something should happen to your beloved, it would be your best man's job to put the ring on your finger. In actual fact, it is for this very reason that a best man should be a bachelor, ready to swoop in on the wedding day if duty were to call.

Of course, if marrying your true love's best friend, the man who probably turns your prince charming into a beer-swilling lad, isn't quite what you were bargaining for, why not cheat tradition altogether? Do something kind for your best man, and play cupid yourself. "But I know nothing about dating singles anymore!" I hear you cry. Fear not, there are plenty of websites offering an introductory service, and even could offer you sound relationship advice outside of the realms of dating online. On the quest for the best woman, the obvious first step is to find an attractive candidate. As for step two, look for the following traits and you will be sure to strike gold.

Think aphrodisiacs, think an apron and washing up gloves and not alot can be sexier. Look for women who like cooking, or dining out.

A woman that wears a lot of make-up can be a major turn off. Look for photos where make-up looks little or at least very natural.

The sexual revolution may have happened but fundamentally men do not like 'easy' women. It's really easy to forget these rules of engagement, especially when you have become the happy bride, but some things never change.

Women who have a lot going for them are more attractive. Look for women who have a good job or are truly committed to some causes. This means not only interesting conversation, but also a lesser chance of gold-digging and clinginess, two very big male no-no's.
