Basically, within people who read a lot and aren't particularly socialized by recent media, women want someone like James Bond / Sharpe and men want a sweet and submissive au pair who wears some dirndl like costume and bakes cakes. But it's 2013 and people aren't like that in England, so everyone like this is miserable.

What an odd way of saying you want tall children. Offspring. Produce. They're very cold, detached words.

What do you define as mainstream?

Eva Braun was a brown-eyed brunette. Try again though.

polite seems one to one, rather than one with one, like cooperative relationship where you receive and give.


being polite is hardly the same as being submissive.

I am so shocked you listed a job.


I'm not. Economic need, now women all have jobs it's not helped with things like house prices. Men don't want to work themselves into an early grave subsidising a stay-at-home wife any more. And if she's going to have a job it might as well be a fancy well paid stable one because then she won't be all exhausted, racked with worry and prematurely aging.

I would still say men want to earn more than their wives though.

The problem with this thread, just like all the other threads that talk about "Husband traits" is that people merely dedicate their time to listing traits that more likely than not, they aren't going to find in one person. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions and preferences, but for example when you more than one of you list "not a feminist", you are automatically canceling out so many women that identify as feminists and believing in equal rights/opportunities but are not going to sit and bitch about the patriarchy non-stop. Dictionary definition of feminism: "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes." not, "misandrist women who believe women should be superior and constantly complain about the world." If everyone could make differentiations about these things, you could possibly find your "dream wife". But you make yourselves sound like you are so picky and limited to one kind of woman, when in reality you are all probably very nice and could perfectly love someone who doesn't fit your ideal. So try sound a little more open-minded than you do on here.

Haha, James Bond and Sharpe? Have these women read Anne of Green Gables? It's all about Gilbert Blythe. :lol:

But yeah, unrealistic expectations based on fictional characters. Combined with an awareness that people aren't fictional characters so you just sit there waiting for their major flaw. Not so endearing off the page. Girls don't really want a Rochester. And definitely no Heathcliffs. Never Heathcliff.

The major things that I find attractive would be:
+ Traditionally feminine
+ Kind and loving
+ Family orientated
+ Not a feminist
+ Can dress herself well (i.e. wears dresses, heels. not just jeans and leggings all the time)
+ Has manners and is courteous
+ Is good with children
+ Slightly clingy is weirdly endearing (I like taking care of people)

The major turn-offs are:
- Smoking
- Always on their phone
- Obsessed with facebook, twitter, instagram and other vapid social networks
- Dresses inappropriately
- Skinnyfat physique (usually the result of too much drinking and high fat/sugar diets and no exercise, yuck)
- Swears
- Gossips
-Tattoos

Only women can make good roti's.

Btw use brown flour, tastier and healthier than white. And tesco atta is wack.

In relation to these 3 points, would you not want your future girlfriend/wife to work if you had children together?
I want her to be slightly badly behaved, clingly but extremely strong willed and dominant too

I can't describe it :angry:
