A couple of decades ago when I was looking for a wife, I did a statistical analysis and made a checklist of characteristics that increase and decrease the probability of failure. I measured each woman I met against that list. One of the rejects sure confirmed my decision. I drove over 500 km over rough roads to Batalha, Piaui even though she was hesitant for us to do so. Her parents lived in what amounted to a shack. Her mother was somewhat ashamed. My reply was "I'm happy to learn how people live; this place is good enough for anybody." The deal killer was from her mother's answer how difficult, disrespectful and cranky she was before she left home. When I got back to the USA, she sent me angry emails and even a couple of phone call's. I believe that she would have put a hit out on me if she could have. She was really cute and lots of fun, but thinking long term is a must.
