[The Only Real Estel]

and would want to see his city in all its past glory.

Unfortunately, that really can't count as a reason for Boromir (or Faramir) to resist the Ring because Boromir thought that he could bring the past glory of his city back through the Ring. Therefore, that's really a reason for Boromir to try to get the Ring, not to try to avoid it.

Maybe if Faramir had been in the Fellowship he would have given in to the lure of the Ring as well. I like to think not, but who can say for sure? All I know is it's a good thing Frodo met Faramir in the Wild and not Boromir.

Boromir probably wouldn't have been fun to meet in the wild, but you never know (like you said). Perhaps, although he was unsure about destroying the Ring at the beginning of the Quest (&, at time, throughout it), he would not have hindered Frodo if he was only around him for a few days. And you probably have a point with your Faramir-in-the-Fellowship arguement. He might've held out longer than Boromir, but I bet the results would've ended up being the same, eventually.

The 2 answers I can come up with are Faramir had more Numenorean blood in him then Boromir and he was much wiser in lore he knew what the ring was capable of.

He was wiser, yes, but the main thing was that he used his wisdom a lot more than Boromir did, & he wasn't so rash. But I don't think it was Faramir's wisdom that kept him from taking the Ring: Why would he have studied about the Ring? Gandalf himself said that 'studying the arts of the Dark Lord was perilous'. But I don't think there's any argument here, because Faramir didn't even know what Frodo was referring to as 'Isildur's Bane', at least not for awhile.
