The Perfect Matrimonial Match

From among my classmates, be it from school or college, I'm one of the last bachelors.

Needless to say, I keep getting varieties of advises and suggestions towards marriage (which I enjoy refuting using a ton of different reasons, none of them real). In this perspective, occasionally I had been suggested to put up a matrimony profile. And once, some years back (around 2009-2010), imagining what I may write in such a profile, I had penned down some lines.

Putting them up here.

First part talks about the "I", next part tells about what this "I" seeks.

I am pretty lazy, don't have much ambition in life, mostly a loner except when in the rare mood for company, look with an absolutely unfounded disdain towards the rest of humanity, have got called egotistical by others who I deem, of course, as endowed with the poorest of comprehension abilities. Nobody has ever accused me of bravery, though I have often been told to have displayed streaks of irrational obstinacy.

I don't care much about money, but then I don't have to anyway, never having or earning a decent amount of it.

I think the greatest pleasures in life are to be able to think, feel and act. However, for the latter, I am usually found only to be admiring it from a distance.

As a significant other, I would like someone with the beauty seen in an artist's imagination, the grace of an angel, the intelligence of a scientist and philosopher, the sensuality of a mistress, the creativity of an artist, the innocence of a child, the voice of a Siren, the efficiency of a robot, the stamina of an athlete. She should, as per my whim or desire, be homely or outgoing, shy or shameless, dull or intelligent, docile or dominating, faithful or frivolous.

She should, of course, have an unwilling desire to take care of all the everyday chores, and be extraordinarily proficient in doing so.

Well, that's all. Yes, I know, it does not have a 'proper', graceful ending. But who says that every writing should have a graceful ending?
