Men why did you pick your wife?

[Anonymous]

I dated a lot of women and was looking for something specific.

Attractive, smart, funny, strong and dynamic personality, super capable. Lots of my girlfriends had bored me. My wife is never boring.

Also didn’t want the mother of my children to be passive and dim. My wife is a great mother.

Most men I dated were quite specific. They often are not that specific for screwing around or for a girlfriend, but I have found when it comes to marriage, they can be quite specific on what is “wife material” for them, including my husband.

High salary.

Because I fell in love with her. Happily, she also fell in love with me. And beyond that, we genuinely like each other, as well as love each other.

Life isn't a bed of roses, and we have our challenges. But I can't imagine being married to anyone else.

But if you get right down to it, I could certainly find all those other qualities in many other women. I don't think I was (or am) very complicated or picky. If she passed away or divorced me, she'd easily be replaced.

What a lucky lady.

I know, I know, you're just "being honest," why should you get slammed.

Sorry if this bothers you. But I believe this is generally true for most married men. We really are NOT that picky.

The "upside" of this is we are incredibly easy to please: simply don't "change" after marriage (ie, gain weight, lose your libido).

I'm a woman and I think I understand. If my husband passed away, I would never replace *him* but I don't doubt that I would never fall in love again with someone else who has good qualities. On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to be married again--assumig I would be older and kids would be adults. This is where perhaps there's a difference--are widowed men more likely to remarry???

I met her at a crowded happy hour for a friend. She got up, grabbed a chair for me and parked it beside her. I still remember what she was wearing - she had a ridiculous body. After talking to her I was impressed with what a positive person was. I had no idea what she would come to mean to my life.

She is lucky. I'm a great guy. But I'm not irreplaceable either. Nobody is.

She's pretty, passionate about life, fun, kind, fit, a little quirky, and drama-free. We have the same outlook on life and share a moral code. Basically she was someone I thought I could build a life with. Good news is I was right.

Unfortunately, the first 2 are no longer true.

This is what happens to the other 50%

Well, I believe that men believe this but in reality you are easily fooled is what it boils down to.
Right now you have a great woman - but you don't realize it.
She died you marry again and you think you're marrying similar - but just give it a little time and you'll realize that she was faking many good qualities until marriage. The divorce rate in this country doesn't lie. Appreciate what you've got now.

Because he's married to a good woman that improves his life. Apparently you're not.

She was stunning, great body, great personality. Main reason though is because she thought I was all that too
