Your Dad's Nuts! (Not in a possessive way. Grammar Problems.)

So here's a new parenting approach! Pay someone (specifically someone with a Y chromosome) to marry your lesbian daughter. I'm pretty doubtful that someone willing to marry a complete stranger for $65 million is going to change her sexuality. Sorry papa Choa, the good ones are probably taken.
Here are my three questions about this situation:
(1) Who is she getting offers from and are any awesome? <-- Maybe offering monetary compensation will find me my soulmate faster! Who am I kidding? I have no where near $65 millon to spare.
(2) Does her father have some sort of database set up to screen the men? Perhaps like Plenty of Fish... But without plenty of lady fish?
(3) How does his daughter feel about this?
Focussing on the third question... Here are some possible and likely answers:
- Extremely violated. I know I would feel that way at first.
- Embarrassed. You dad is nuts. Maybe I should have phrased it that way in the title to avoid confusion. But seriously, how does someone come to have that much money, and think that this is a good plan?
- Stoked. If I was her (a much poorer version of course) I'd start devising my evil plan as soon as I got over feeling violated. Come on, can anyone actually say they wouldn't marry the most eligible guy and negotiate a deal. I'm down for half of $65mil and a fake marriage.
Some people are WEIRD. (Myself included!)
