Do we have to gift you nuffies if you find someone ? wedding gifts ? in any case I wish you good luck in your hunt. (PS: certains nuffians here are trap and other fujoshi beware )
Once again you show your generosity. It may not be fully realized all the various life experiences you bring to the table. You are the one who ought to be paid for such kind efforts. You as the husband should be rewarded with a dowry from your potential bride to be. Perhaps a bit of fertile pasture upon which to sow your seeds as nature takes it course from which abundance grows. You are not a Venerable for nothing. You even have some of those bracketed experiences, [Titles], which show a small amount of your qualifications. You ought to be thrown a bachelor party should you receive any conditional acceptance of the Marriage Terms and Agreements.
You forgot the Bride price, and the dowry is for the wife not the husband, it's a safety net sort of thing if he is useless or abandons her.
Competition is good for business. It allows competitors to showcase their advantages in being selected as the preferred provider of various services. I can understand the importance placed on being first in what some could call a race for the top. Only some may want to be the bottom, but that takes a certain inclination. After all, most would not want to be congratulated on winning second place in a race since the reality of the matter is that they were the fastest loser. All you can really do is be the best at whatever you are capable of doing, even underhanded tricks since they say that "all is fair in love and war."
Aside from any particular cultural differences or modern developments to tradition, in this instance I was saying that a dowry is "the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings to her husband in marriage." As for bride-price I figured it was obvious as to the worth of the Venerable One that offered to be the husband which would be payment in and of itself. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dowry
I got a feeling you thought I was taking this seriously? If so, i just made the thread due to being bored. I'm not marrying anyone.
