How to Find & Keep a Trophy Wife

As a young man of limited means and charm, I thought I had no hope of marrying a trophy wife. However, Fortune smiled on me one day and I received the chance to pursue and marry the woman of my dreams.

This lens contains tips and information to help you source, attract and retain a life partner who is superior to you in style, spirit, social station or intellect. Though the road is neither short nor easy, it can lead you to success. Now read on!

Choose a woman with power & presence.

One who enjoys live music.

And animals.

A love of outdoor activities is excellent.

Loading

A superior work ethic is vital.

As are table manners...

...And ability to handle alcohol.

Loading

Observe her interaction with infants.

They are excellent judges of character.

Holiday resorts offer excellent prospects.

Lure her with trinkets.

Shoes can be used to devastating effect.

Success can be repeated ad infinitum.

    My first sprinkling of angel dust on your trophy wife lens has long worn off so I am back once again to scatter a little more. It is my quest this week to re-bless some of the lenses which I blessed way back in 2010. Your lens is on this list.

    Thank you very much! :)

    Nice catch (of the lady). Ummm, does she consider you to be a trophy husband? Eye candy for her enjoyment?

    I think it is so nice that you value your wife and for us fortunate wives that feel adored, we can be models to the women who do not know how very valuable they are! Thank you.
  • PaulHassing Jan 20, 2011 @ 5:35 pm | delete
    I'm so pleased you feel that way. Thank you for your kind comment! :)

    She takes great care of her feet! They are pretty in those shoes. I love how you've captured her essence and nature. I'm sure she is proud of this lens. Thumbs up.
  • PaulHassing Jan 14, 2011 @ 3:01 pm | delete
    Oh boy. You should see the shoe she has now! They are extraordinary. They give her such joy, it's wonderful to watch her face when she puts them on. Thanks so much for all your incredibly supportive comments. :)

    The title of this lens kept me away for a while. When I finally decided to take the plunge and have a look, I was prepared to be offended by your male-chauvinistic viewpoint. So glad I WAS WRONG! This is a very sweet tribute done with love and humor. All the best to both of you ...

    I was sure what to expect but Ladymermaid recommended it. I'm so glad she did - you have made such lovely lens and gives me a different outlook of those who look or say they want a Trophy Wife.:)

    Wow. Nice lens. (But I think I also got a "Trophy Wife" :-) Any gal who will pick up a large Komodo-dragon like lizard and drape it over her shoulder to pose for a picture is MY kind of gal! I've liked, favorited, thumbs-upped, and lensrolled your masterpiece to my lenses on relationships. Congrats on a great job!
  • PaulHassing Nov 6, 2010 @ 12:36 am | delete
    You've made a very good point there, Dave! Thanks so much for your across-the-board support; it's greatly appreciated! :)

    P.S. There are trophy wife costumes? lol

    Oh yea, a bottle of her favorite wine adds to the precious moment.

    Awesome, funny and photo-spectacular. Women often use "trophy wife" with sympathy for the first nice lady he ditched, so I LOVE the way you use it. You three all all "trophies."
  • Ramkitten Nov 24, 2009 @ 9:04 am | delete
    At first, I was like, trophy wife? I thought it was a negative term. But then I looked through your lens and realize how it was meant. I sure wouldn't mind my husband making a lens like this about (for) me!
  • alteredkat Oct 20, 2009 @ 8:06 pm | delete
    Cute lens! :o) Love the sleeping with pets...the trinkets and shoes bit! LOL
    Very cool! Thanks for sharing - T'was enjoyable! 5*

    Great story! Funny thing about shoes. Keep it up.
  • windygig Sep 17, 2010 @ 9:34 pm | delete
    Super photgraphically and wittily awesome how you treasure that "trophy." Mostly, women use it to refer to the interloper with sympathy to the nice lady he ditched. So the way you used it made me laugh out loud.

    Nice lens and informative..5 stars to you Madam!!..

    Please check out my lens about discover the secret of marriage..

    I just had to visit again--I was just talking about how I enjoyed the love here. I truly think your wife believes she has a trophy husband as well!
    I think I'll have to drop by and see how my favorite sheep are doing while I'm in the neighborhood.

  • sittonbull Apr 21, 2009 @ 11:22 am | delete
    Paul, I try to read everything my friend Keem suggests and have yet to be disappointed! You got your trophy wife in much the same way I got mine! I think the shoes were the coup'd gras!
  • chefkeem Apr 17, 2009 @ 10:23 pm | delete
    Your wife might be superior to you in style, spirit, social station or intellect - but you have certainly much more...um...er...oh, yeah - weight! Unique love letter, Paul. 5* plus...
  • Shelly Mar 21, 2009 @ 3:41 pm | delete
    This is just wonderful--everyone enjoys a love story in any form. This is also a lady with an amazing sense of humor to match yours! You must have a lot of laughter in your home. You have a unique way of presenting a trophy wife with no negative connotations--how do you do that? The secret if love, isn't it? I also observe with the shoes, that there are no low back issues--heels are the first to go.

    An endearing lens Paul. I sense there's much more to the trophy than the trophy. Anyway, a charming and extremely frank and personal share. Thnx. :-)
