English literature or Communications? Those MA degrees are prerequisites for an Mrs.

Are you brain dead? Men are not women. That is why their actions cannot possibly be judged in the same way.

Your premise is wrong. Morals are morals, regardless of what body parts you are randomly born with.

I prefer the art history or mfa type.

no way. She pretty much forced him to run for President the 2nd time. She definitely is the overbearing type behind the scenes. Would hate living with a woman like that.

If we have to use political ladies, Barbara Bush or Rosalynn Carter seem much better.

"Nova" (Charlton Heston's wife in Planet of the Apes).

She's smoking hot, and she can't talk.

Perfect for you because nothing you say is worth responding to.

Wow a doctorate? So you are older and really limiting your pool. You must really have it going on. What do men look for in a women?

Being a good wife means being exceptionally sexual. Otherwise, you're being a good friend. Or a good roommate. The latter two suggests it's ok to find someone else for the "exceptionally sexual" part.

That means being a mistress, not a wife.

IME, the guys you *want* to marry want to marry someone who is sexual compatible, not not necessarily someone who is a tantric sex goddess. They are looking for someone who will be a good partner and, if you want children, a good parent.

OP, really consider yourself as the one who is doing the choosing, not the other way around. Your confidence will attract men. Also, go out on a lot of dates, if only for good stories to share with your girlfriends. You never know, though, with whom you'll hit it off. GL!

OP, the term "wife material" is a very subjective term in my opinion. What is wife material to one man may not be wife material to many others and so forth.

You sound good on paper. Obviously you have achieved quite a lot for your age + you sound quite stable in your life.

However, you do state that you do not flirt which I find odd considering you say you are attractive and have a good job. Perhaps you are lacking in the confidence department?

My guess is that is what is making it difficult for you to meet men who want to marry you.

It's not that you lack cooking skills or homemaking skills, it's that men can tell that you are not self-assured and confident.

Try working on that aspect and once you feel better about yourself and more comfortable in your own skin, try flirting and see what happens. I bet many men would see you most definitely as great "wife material."

Hope this helps. GL.

Exceptionally sexual is a bad thing for a wife? Any woman who thinks this is more of a definition for mistress has probably had some self-fulfilling prophecies.

Know how to dress sexually. Doesn't have to be every day, but more than once a month.

Know how to BE sexual. Do you know what he likes? Tease him with it. Then please him with it.

You know those things you consider for special occasions? Yeah, don't do the whole "special occasion" thing. If he can count the number of times he gets said act monthly or yearly, you're not doing it enough.

Personality. Friendliness. (Lack of) bitchiness. They all play a role in being a wife, but men want sex. They want the sex they like without being told they can't have it because *insert excuse here*.

I'll use my life as an example. My wife is an emotional nutjob. She just is. But I fell in love with her because of her crazy personality. It's funny---before we got married, I hung out with a lot of people--both male(friends from childhood) and female(lot of dating)---my wife is the type of person who can't make friends with other women----so we don't get to do the 'couples thing' a lot. But my friends like hanging out with her. Do I miss hanging out with all sorts of people---hell yes. But do I love my wife even more . . . so much so that I would rather spend time with her than with friends---yes. It was obvious from the moment I met her that my social life with others would take a nosedive---and it did. But it was also obvious that she was fiercely loyal to the people she loves---and she is. She's a great mom, and a great wife. And that's all I need.

You should do the same---be yourself. Be HAPPY with who you are---and one day the right guy will come along. Good luck.

+1. Love this post.

Oh MY GOD. I hate this post. This is just a disaster waiting to happen. Marrying an "emotional nut job" who can't make friends. Egads.

Being wife material means someone able to have their own orgasms. Sounds drastic but lack of sex is a major driver for many marriage issues.

If your wife cannot achieve orgasm, on her own, she will never be able to do it with you. It is all in her mind. If she can't do that, she will never get it together. And eventually, she will stop wanting sex and then marriage just goes downhill. Husband will be constantly angry and unable to communicate. Wife will be withdrawn and want emotional intimacy.

Make sure your girlfriend is sexually competent and can achieve her own orgasm or marriage will never work.
