Their hotness doesn't matter, and anyone'd be pissed if they got preggers newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 11/04/2010 05:54:55 PM
She's the woman in a hetero relationship, and their passion causes her to go through a lot of discomfort and sacrifice. It's not like they were trying for a kid... And in Elayne's case she gets no active or regular support in her pregnancy from her man (because of circumstances). So her annoyance makes a lot of sense, whether it's just half-hearted or a bit more earnest. And in Randland, you lose the ability to channel normally...
Although opinions vary, I didn't find Elayne to be a b!@#$ - she gets to hang out with Egwene and Nynaeve all the time for comparison. And I'd say that Elayne has great reason to be self-important: she's the main heir to a throne and her nation is riding on her. She not only has to think about herself because a lot of people are riding on her, she has pressure to live up to her ancestors' accomplishments.
Rand turned to her for help with the nobles in Tear, and I always thought that was the basis for their initial chemistry turning into something more serious.
I agree with you about Min, though - she really outstrips the other women for building a relationship with him. Then again, she has the least responsibility of them all...

let's play "Stupid Question" : which one will (or should) Rand choose? - 11/04/2010 12:54:15 AM 1478 Views
I'd choose Aviendha. But if Rand were forced, I think he would go with Min ... - 11/04/2010 01:37:57 AM 1116 Views
Mat and Elayne? Interesting, but I don't see it - 11/04/2010 06:01:04 PM 758 Views
I agree (with your title, if little else) - 12/04/2010 01:46:44 PM 974 Views
Very true, I suppose - 12/04/2010 03:42:09 PM 716 Views
He definitely won't choose one over the others - 11/04/2010 06:39:21 AM 713 Views

Your reasoning seems to ELIMINATE Min - 12/04/2010 02:34:47 PM 896 Views
Obviously Min is the only real option - 11/04/2010 07:05:33 AM 824 Views

I'd go for Min for "should." - 12/04/2010 12:15:09 PM 801 Views
I'd go for Aviendha for "should" with Elayne being a good second option. Min is not a good match. - 12/04/2010 04:07:36 PM 791 Views
Wow. Getting it right, in such a wrong way. - 12/04/2010 09:27:26 PM 801 Views

There is such a thing as healthy "need," - 13/04/2010 03:36:31 AM 574 Views
Elayne is the obvious choice - 12/04/2010 06:44:20 PM 695 Views
