Random Surveys

So every now and again I decide that I need to take a random survey. Over the years they have covered a variety of topics. Generally it is when I am curious about something and I am not sure how else to gather the information so I just start asking people to find out what the consensus is. I have asked people in my ward, at work and most recently my family. I would like to share the results of my most recent survey. It took almost a month to complete…let me explain.

Mid October I was thinking that I have never asked my mom and my sisters about when they were dating what kept them wanting to go out with their now husbands. Then I realized that it is something that everyone always asks when they meet new people. You know the “tell me how you guys met” story. Well it’s not like I met my family. So I started one by one calling all of my sisters and asked them the following 3 questions.

When you were dating your husband…why did you keep dating him?
Did you think that he was hot?
Do you think that he is hot now?

I received some of the funniest responses that I almost ran right off the road (I call them when I am driving to and from work). Then I decided that I wanted to ask my mother as well. About 4 ½ weeks had passed and I had 2 requests from the women to ask the men in our family the same questions. They had already heard about my survey prior to my asking but still I had some pretty funny responses which I don’t think that anyone would have expected.

DISCLAIMER: Before I tell you all of their responses I first and foremost want to make it clear that they are all VERY happily married!! This will maybe open your eyes to what is really important (if you haven’t figured it out already). Also…the names have been withheld to protect the innocent (or the honest)!!!

Read on…and enjoy~

Wife 1:
1. I honest have no idea. After every date I thought it was over…but we kept dating.
2. No
3. Yes (I have changed a few things in the wardrobe)

Wife 2:
1. He made me feel comfortable, I could be myself and we had a good time
2. No
3. No…maybe though depends on what he is wearing.

Wife 3:

2. Of course
3. Yes

Wife 4:
1. I wanted to
2. Yes
3. Yes

Wife 5:

2. No, I don’t think that was in the top 5 maybe even the top 10 reasons that I married him
3. Yes

Now here are the responses from the men

Husband 1:
1. She said she would
2. Yes
3. Yes

Husband 2:
