Obviously not Betty or Megan. I think either Menken, Suzanne, Bethany, or Allison would’ve been good for him. Although, I’m not sure that he’d ever have lasted forever with a wife.

And, kind of changing the subject, it is nice to see Henry realize what a monstrous woman he married towards the end.

Which one was the teacher? I pick her.

That waitress skank in the last season is a definite no.

Certainly the teacher. Crazy thing is he was literally minutes away from running away with her when Don came home and Betty had some crisis that kept him from leaving.

Now certainly he wouldn't have stayed with her long, but they were still about to do something crazy.

Don cheated because he needed a powerful woman not a child (Betty) or a naive whimsy (Megan) but Don never knew what was best for him.

No one. Not a man who should be with a woman. He is too good at playing the field and too bad at being a husband.

The women he got along with best were Joan and Peggy, who just reflected different facets of him. Joan in the whorey/abused way and Peggy in the detached/clever way. Neither of them would make good wives.

Menken imo is the only one that would have kept him grounded and honest.

I found Allison to be extremely sexy for some reason.



Dr. Fay was hot as well and probably better as a wife for Draper.

IIRC something with Betty or not triggered a Don-Past episode with guilt that shut him down. Very deep episode.

That girl named Joy. ...the one he met in California while he was on a business trip with Pete.

...and yes, the ugly waitress near the end of the show was the only interest he had, that made zero sense. Ugly as frik and a nut job. I just realized the girl that played that role was in The Haunting of Hill House.

I like Allison a lot. She pretty openly and deeply cared for him.
