It is very reassuring to see that Downers of the female persuasion have finally and truly disabused themselves of that old odd notion once prominent amongst the better half that a good woman could marry a scoundrel and reform him.

The real question we have here is are there any female orcs?

The only character in LotR who would be realistic marriage material for me would be Merry. Sensible, decent, but a really good laugh.

In my case however, (as I like tall men) he would also have to drink more Ent-Draught.

PS Actually on second thoughts, there's also Eomer - although there's not so much evidence of a sense of humour.

And the hairy feet don't unnerve you? Merry is my favourite hobbit - but I just think short with hairy feet... and surely riding around the Shire in armour after the war is over is on a par with driving a pointlessly big car....

Merry. The Richard Hammond of The Shire...

Grima? Who'd want to marry a civil servant?

Saruman. Well, I think he'd be interesting, if not attractive. My personal image of him is rather like Ming The Merciless, not the Chris Lee portrayal, despite this being the bees' knees for me as a Chris Lee fan...At least he is nifty at making jewellery...

Shagrat? Looking at what the unflattering words in his name suggests, any girl of his wouldn't be much of a looker...

but did Merry have his teeth whitened?



I have just realised I would be very vulnerable to Saruman - I am very voice sensitive and find silver hair attractive (though more Thingol style-prematurely grey). However I hate beards and don't hold with magic... so maybe I'd escape...

Well, maybe this seems a little too obvious a choice, but I've had a crush on Aragorn for 20 years now.

He's rugged and capable of sarcasm when needed, but at the same time noble, humble, patient enough to endure decades of isolation and injustice without becoming bitter; he puts others before himself, is courageous and very loyal. Plus, he ages slowly, cleans up nice, and is the KING, just as comfortable in a palace or in the wilderness. He also knows lots of interesting things like herbal medicine and ancient history. Besides, I'm a sucker for guys who turn out to be older than they appear to be at first.

Faramir, hands down. Although Merry is my type....
