Here comes a thread about how awful British women are, countered by claims about American women, countered by stupid pictures, all posted by idiots who spank off over national stereotypes.

Accountants?

I suppose if anyone ever needed a reason...:)

All this proves is that British women are pretty smart.

Throughout all of the books and movies, Bond has consistently shown nothing but contempt for women (OK, arguably OHMSS is an exception, but even then...).

I'm sure they realize that he'd be a great lay, but a crappy husband.

There is still a large disparity between rather marry and rather have sex with.

Who the hell would want to marry James Bond? He'd sleep around on you, and people would always try to kidnap/kill you to get back at him. fark that.

He's a slut, that's why.

Can't say I ever needed a reason.

Still avoid dentists like the plague.

Smart move. All the women that shag him end up dead.

Hmm I think I'd rather marry an accountant than James Bond too. I mean he really just keeps going from woman to woman and there's a pretty high risk of death on the job here eventually. I mean I'm sure there are lots of attractive and interesting accountants out there!

Of course.

The accountant provides stability, income, support.

They would marry the accountant and let him father their children, then they would sleep with 007 behind their husband's back.

You could say the same thing about men, nurses and Laura Croft.

QFT

Had a really hawt wife but she was a little too, uh, friendly with other men.

Don't ever marry an English women...

How about a LION TAMER? (new window)

Q: how did the accountant overcome her constipation?

/I'll go to the bars now. sorry

This is one of the all to many cases on our books...of charted accountancy.

Pierce Brosnan James Bond - yes.
Daniel Craig James Bond - no.

mmmmmm British men.

/oh those accents

TTUWP or something.

Well, I'll take him if you don't want him.

Fools

Depends... if they read the article and find out it's actually a survey asking women if they'd prefer a whirlwind romance over financial security, it will turn into a thread about passive/aggresive females and some guys advising how to pick up women by being self-assured.
Hard to say at this point :)

MaritimeGirl: Pierce Brosnan James Bond - yes.
Daniel Craig James Bond - no.

I'm sorry, there's only one James Bond:

theigorway: Don't ever marry an English women...

I agree, that would be polygamy.

A British womAn, by contrast, would be fine.

I would also vote for NO for Bond.

\American though.
\\Would rather have Jaws.
\\\Moonraker FTW!

Jackpot!

/corporate accountant

Daniel Craig = WORST BOND EVER!

cowsspinach: mmmmmm British men.

/oh those accents

I'd marry James Bond and have the highest tier of life insurance put out on him.

On the other hand, if he dies you get that fat government pension.

I'll have to take that into consideration next time James Bond proposes to me. I was thinking it would be cool to have James Bond money but not James Bond as a husband.

You know, i can fake one pretty well.
Ok, I really suck at it.
Where's my book of chick-conquering poetry...

Hey, did I mention I have a hammock?

SporaticVoracity: I'd marry James Bond and have the highest tier of life insurance put out on him.

Given how many times he's escaped death and how many times his love interests have died... that might not be such a smart strategy.

I, too, would rather marry an accountant than James Bond. Though at my age, a nurse or doctor might be even better.

I could always negotiate with his enemies and make it appear accidental.

There are two kinds of accountants (well, many kinds, but at least two). One is the sort who thought, during high school, "Yes! I want to be an accountant!" They are dull. Avoid them.

Then there are the ones who farted around, didn't know what they wanted to do, maybe played in a band for a few years, or actually dedicated themselves to a short-term artistic/freelance/weirdo career. They reached their 30s or 40s and decided they needed stability and income, so they got their accounting designation and settled into the grind. Those ones? Hang around with them. They can be bucketloads of fun.

this has merit because British women are the epitome of taste and style.

/i didn't say it was good taste or style.

Eddie_Dean_NY: There is still a large disparity between rather marry and rather have sex with.

This is true of both men and women. For women there is also the matter of "Who do I want as father of my children and who do I want to be their dad?".

How the frack can one be plural? One is inherently singular. If you have more than one, you have a plural amount. Just drop the "ones", leave it as "Those?".

poxic bows to the almighty grammatical correctness of apeiron242.

You have just convinced me to take up accounting!

Why would women want to marry a guy who will probably cheat on them and they will end up dead before the movie is over?

He falls in love in Dr No (the book) and has genuine care for the girl.
