Wired Women: Net Dreams

<br> -- OK, ladies, so who wants to marry a millionaire? Patrick Reynolds, apparently undeterred by the Fox Television fiasco, wants to know.

Reynolds — and yes, that’s Patrick Reynolds of the R.J. Reynolds tobacco family — says he’s sick of the Los Angeles bar scene and is looking for a bride. On the Internet, no less.

Just log on to www.love4two.com. If you fit the profile — aged 27 to 34, Christian/Catholic, average to slender build, at least some college, social drinker, non-smoker (more on that in a minute) — Reynolds wants to hear from you.

He says he’ll read every single e-mail from every single eligible bachelorette. And maybe, just maybe, one of them will be Her.

“All my friends tell me that the woman I’m going to marry isn’t in LA,” he says. “So maybe there’s a chance she’s out there and this will help me find her. Why not? It only takes one woman who’s the right one. And you have to keep hope alive.”

No Smoking, Please

If you’re thinking, OK, so what’s the catch?, join the club. But it’s not the first time Reynolds has followed his heart to places most people wouldn’t go.

After losing his father and brother to smoking-related disease, Reynolds divested himself of his tobacco holdings and established The Foundation for a Smokefree America, a nonprofit organization to fight smoking. He’s devoted the past decade to an anti-tobacco campaign, focused specifically on warning teens about the dangers of tobacco use.

Ask him about the foundation and he launches into a 15-minute diatribe on the unfettered political clout of multinational corporations, including tobacco, and the pressing need for campaign finance reform. Then he pauses, hears the intensity in his voice, and laughs.

“It’s something I’m passionate about,” he says. “There’s a saying that you find your greatest glory in your greatest wound, and my fight against tobacco may be my greatest glory.
