         Welcome to HowToMarryMartin.com.  It is with great pleasure and eager anticipation that I welcome you to my quirky website; a site which may change your life, and mine. Despite being intensely interested in getting married in the next few years, my search for a wife has been complicated by a number of factors which this website hopes to eliminate. Please sequentially explore the steps below to better understand what I have to offer and what I am looking for.

 

1. Family is paramount. To understand exactly how I feel about them, visit my family page by clicking the adjacent picture.

 

2. Since physical appearance is a necessary ingredient in any selection process, visit ModelMartin.com—a shamelessly unrepresentative gallery of pictures and poses. (coming soon)
 
3. Never wanting to leave Never-Never Land, I maintain ties to my formative period of careless pleasures by playing creative jokes and pranks on friends and family. It wouldn't be fair if you continued without knowing more about my wily ways.
 
4. Not one to just parrot quotes from others, I take great pride in creating my own that reflect, at least in my mind, the realities of existence.
 
5. A few words, from a professional perspective, on my background. In addition, you may want to read this page detailing a few memorable Zen moments.
 
6. Insight into my character would fall lamentably short if you remained unapprised of my Spiritual leanings. As a Bahá'í, a member of the Bahá'í faith, I believe some interesting things that may well be worth your investigation, as it plays a rather central role in my life.
 
7. Perhaps the most novel and orderly arrangement of thoughts on the issue of love available to the web community—here I espouse and explain my radical views of love, dating, marriage and more in a cogent treatise that has caused quite a stir for its challenge of orthodoxy. (coming soon)
 
8. You now know enough about me to fill out a Level-1 marriage application, which is much more a gimmick than an actual compatibility instrument. Since 40% of those so far who have filled this out are guy-friends, you can infer how seriously I take this humorous survey. Any legitimate survey would, by necessity, be all essay.
 
9.  If after all of the above--my immature pranks, lackluster appearance, insipid quotes, and warped love theories--you are still interested in  establishing something with me here is what to do: (seriously :)
 
 
  • The only step to take: If you live in Ottawa, become naturally better friends with me, making efforts to having us serve together and have other meaningful contact. If you live elsewhere my theories of courting break down and you're on your own! (but conceptually its the same as above)

This guarantees that I will indeed be evaluating you having been presented with the opportunity, albeit quite non-exclusively. Generally, there is no need to approach me with your feelings since my process is largely independent of that--the moment I feel that there is that mystic (and practical) connection, I will, without a moment's hesitation or thought of reciprocated feelings, directly share my feelings with you. It is a little bit like "Don't call me, I'll call you." But wait, ...

There are some benefits to approaching me--besides the more obvious point that if everyone adopted my stance no one could ask anyone. My policy has recently changed and now if someone expresses interest I will give a definitive response. In fact, it will be one of these two responses:

  • "Yes, I think there could be something here, I'll just need more time to continue to get to know you. (and others)."
  • "I don't think that, even with the passage of time, more will come of this other than a very close friendship."

Follow your heart and your mind, as I will, and if in doubt call me and ask hypothetical questions. :)
