The marriage equation

The marriage equation in Egypt is simple:

F(marriage) = Looks * money * good mother/wife * religion / previous relationships * virginity^3

If we look at the first part of the equation, this is where the more the merrier applies. You can actually do with just one, but you have to do it very well.
Lookers get rich men
Rich girls get good looking men
Good mothers/wives either hit the jackpot and get a good family man, or luck out and get the player who wants a stay at home cleaner, chef and nanny
Religious girls get religious guys

In either case, with every previous relationship your chances get a little smaller. Virginity exists then your chances get bigger, virginity doesn't exist chances get much slimmer (notice that it's to the power of 3)

Your equation determines both your chances as well as the characteristics of the man you should aim for.

Each factor deserves a separate post, but one thing's for sure, knowing your equation will take you one step closer to your diamond ring

I know I'm of a really small majority, but my equation is very different, and very much simpler.

I like the idea, really! hope you do write more often

I never thought of my equation before... but I think it simply goes like

F(marriage) = somebody who can tolerate me...

and LOOOOL @ the virginity factor... though I don't believe verginity is an indicator of pureness anymore
