A Wife for the Ice Spartan

The courting of the 1800s is back

UPDATE: On Religion… he is not a Catholic (yet) and he said… look, just tell people I’m not a Catholic zealot, I’m actually a fun guy. “Spiritual but not religious” he said adding quickly, “But not gay!” to which I could only respond:

“Can’t have both. Pick one!”

In truth though he reminds me quite a lot of me at his age in terms of a kind of generic Zen type of philosophy, except he is kinder, better mannered, and more convinced of God existing and being Love than I ever was at his age.

In keeping with my new sideline of being a potential agony uncle, it has come to my attention, that at least in part due to my blog here or at the original place (which still has all the past posts as well a copy of all the ones I do here too, so you may want to peruse other topics there not covered here) several couples have got together and at least a few of them have also had babies already.

On reflection, and checking with friends who are happily married and have healthy families, it has become obvious that many of these marriages have come about as a result of a practice that used to be the norm but that liberal wokeism, in its constant mission to push sex with everyone (and everything too) has tried to utterly destroy, and that is, the practice of introducing potential life partners to young men or women by the process of a trusted “elder” (let’s say wise man, eh!) presenting the prospective woman or man in an objectively honest light, not hiding any character flaws and not overselling the person either, but being as fair as possible.

While the general trope is that women make the matchmakers, this, in reality, is almost always a total fabrication.

The solipsism of women tends to make their evaluations of who might pair up well with whom, or even just the presenting of a person, too subject to their own emotional and subjective views.

Older nominally supposedly wiser men in fact make the best judges of character for marriage.

So… given that the Ice Spartan has already returned to my little farm, and has worked on it completely alone again as I had some remote work come in I had to attend to from early morning until late into the night, I thought to myself, why not do the man a good turn and at least present him to the world as a potential candidate for marriage.

Now, I know most of my readership is male, though not exclusively, and you all have sisters, cousins, or friends or you know their friends at least, well enough to know who might fit the bill.

So, without actually having asked him if I am ok to do this (it’s the kind of good ribbing men enjoy doing to each other) I’m now going to present to you, the Ice Spartan. Please submit suitable candidates, or yourself, if you are a suitable woman, as possible courtship material.

Pseudonym: Ice Spartan

Age: 27

Height: 6’4”

Build: Athletic/fit

Hair: Ginger (I know, I know, it means he lacks a soul, but you can’t have it all ladies!)

Character: scrupulously honest, kind and polite but his own man nonetheless. Think of a good guy southern gentleman type. Generally laconic and a deep thinker. Slow to say anything in a moment of rashness, and instead more likely to ponder a question fully before responding. Not for lack of confidence but for interest in precision.

SSH: Sigma (I know, I know, the last ginger that used to work here also was a Sigma and an actual fashion model, and he’s married off now. I don’t know why I seem to have young ginger Sigmas come to the pilgrimage of the Kurganate but such is the case).

Looks: There is always a matter of taste in these things but objectively speaking he really is at the very least, worst case, an 8, and more likely a 9, and a 10 for a woman that likes tall gingers. He has blue-gray-green eyes.

Attitude: Quietly ambitious and totally a self-starter as is the nature of all Sigmas.

Prospects: He will definitely do well in life and have enough to provide for whoever he ends up with. He has a strong work ethic and also a keen mind and no one drives him harder than he drives himself. He has already suffered and overcome some setbacks, so the knocks of life will not stop him. And getting him before he is wealthy is a good thing, as it tends to weed out at least the short-term gold diggers.

IQ: Definitely well above average. I estimate it at least at 130 minimum and possibly closer to 140 or around there give or take a few points either way.

Preference: Caucasian women of appropriate age, which should probably be no more than a couple of years older than him at most but can be several years younger. Some physical attraction is obviously required but he does not have specific positive criteria. He does have a few negative ones: no vocal fry, no really short women.

Vaxx status: not vaxxed and if you are, don’t apply.

If you want to save time send a normal photograph of yourself without any filters and I will pass it on. Any images of women he is not interested in will be deleted and not shared with anyone else, and I am sure it does not need saying but do NOT send nudes.

Use filotto@gmail.com and describe yourself a bit along the same lines above. I will pass them on to the Ice Spartan.

I’m curious to see how this works out.
