Joe Millionaire is the best TV show on television.
There. You heard it from me, and you will probably hear it from no other.
Joe Millionaire airs on Fox at 8PM central time and follows one Evan Marriott who is a construction worker from Virgina Beach, VA earning $19,000 a year pushing dirt with a giant movable shovel, and has stumbled upon inheriting $50,000,000 from a rich uncle..... actually, he really didn't inherit $50,000,000 from a rich uncle.
But don't tell it to the 20 women whom he has courted at a lavish chateau in France. The premise of the show involves him looking to share his vast wealth with "the woman of his dreams" or whatnot. But that's a bunch of horseshit, naturally. Of course Evan is looking for a woman who will truly love him for who he is and not how much money he has and lying about having $50,000,000 is the most amazing way to prove the love of the woman whom he will eventually chose.
What makes this show so amazing is it could potentially reveal just how disgustingly shallow the female gender really is. Granted, females will never be known as the MORE shallow of the two genders, but in my mind, females are vastly underrated as shallow beings. Imagine Evan picks this so-called "amazing" woman whom he has fallen in love with and wants to be with etc. At this point he has to tell this "amazing" woman that he really doesn't have $50,000,000 and that Fox made him lie about it and all that other crap. Imagine her rejecting him after that.
She ain't looking so "amazing" anymore, now is she?
Believe it or not, the average career woman really does have this unconscious attraction to money. There were snippets and clues that probably half of the girls Evan had to choose from were probably after his wallet rather than his heart or even his penis. Hell, I'll condone a woman craving dick over money any day of the week. The love of sex is more understandable and less shallow than the love of money. Money is materialistic. Dick obviously is not.
I can't think of a better setting for revealing just how horrible some women in this world are when it comes to relationships. Naturally, all women want a man with the looks and the personality to match and "money is just a bonus". I'm sorry, but money is more than just a bonus when the guy is as great as you can imagine. Money tends to overshadow the more important things in relationships, specifically when you start to talk about money in the millions...
Ladies. Imagine you have 2 guys that you love to death EQUALLY. However, it is impossible to be fair in love with 2 people at 1 time. That's just the way relationships work. One guy has a million bucks in cash, the other does not. Who do you pick? You love them both the same, but you can't obviously be with both of them, what do you do?
Well, if you want my respect, you don't take either. Not that a choice like that is bound to pop up anyway. Here's my rationale:
1)Money is the worst tie-breaker possible. Money should have nothing to do with everything important in life. This is the cardinal rule of relationships. There are better things to tinker with in relationships than the checkbook. So you can't pick the millionaire.
2)Unless you want to start a trend of thinking that there are 2 perfect people on this Earth for you, taking both guys is an unacceptable step in that direction. Three-somes were meant for sexual relationships, not lasting, loving relationships. This leads into.....
3)I doubt both guys will go for another guy being a picture. That's just blatantly obvious.
4)Taking the guy without the million bucks is just as illogical as taking the guy with the bucks (see reason #1). If you love them both equally, then what does this guy that the millionaire doesn't have. If you manage to find 1 miniscule thing this guy has the the millionaire doesn't, you're a nit-picker or just plain dumb to realize that the other guys has a million bucks. Yeah, I feel bad the poor guy would lose on any battle, but don't tell me the rich guy's money doesn't look good to you if you had a choice, and you were actualy shallow enough to pick 1 of them over the other for a bad reason.
So to reiterate, you don't choose either. You find another guy different from the 2 of these improbable men and you go from there. It's just the right thing to do. There is ONE person in the world for you, and NOT TWO. And definitely that ONE person shouldn't have "being Joe Millionaire" as a prerequisite standard for your perfect guy.
So don't forget to watch Joe Millionaire on Fox at 8PM central so you can see where this worthless essay came from, and happy hunting to you all :)
