My husband wanted someone pretty and thin (I'm very thin) and easygoing, not feminist, gets along w people, highly intelligent. I fit the bill.
We are pretty happy together 10 years and 3 kids later. I'm a sahm and he's happy with that. I don't expect him to lift a finger at home. |
Gross. My Dad loved to cook and entertain. He cooked dinners and coached all over our sports’ teams. My mom was home when we were very young and then went back to work because she wanted to. They supported each other 100%. It’s why my siblings—particularly my brother- are so well-adjusted and happily married. We see marriage as a partnership where both parents are he’s ultimately invested in home life. My own son’s are proud I work in a STEM field and often ask me to come in on science days. I WAH so have flexibility. I think boys are done a disservice when raised in a home where mom does all id the subservient work. They tend to pick unambitious wives they don’t see as equals. |

Oh yeah. |
Well, we are happy. Sorry we don't fit into your perfect image lol. And many high status men do want someone who can hold down the fort at home. Like I do. It's my job and I'm proud of it. |
| ^And a mistress to bang at the Office and work trips. As long as you are ok with your role. |
| Pp. He follows the Mike Pence rules and has been working from his home office for almost a year. I can walk in his office whenever I want and have access to everything. Not super worried. |

This is such a mysogynist subservient thread.
The title alone makes me puke. RBG is rolling over in her grave. |
He specified "not feminist"? |
|
If my husband is grumpy he needs sex, food or both. So easy really.
I know this, acknowledge his needs and am generally agreeable. Similarly he knows my needs and meets them. Boom end of story, we both still desire each other. With that said we do not have addiction, abuse, or mental illness. It makes for an easy marriage: some work (learning and meeting your spouses needs), some luck. |
Now RBG had a great marriage, exactly the kind of marriage to which I hope my daughter aspires. Mine is close, though DH can't cook sadly. Partnerships come in different forms, but this is the kind I prefer to model for my kids. |

Some "high value men" want someone to come to punk shows with them every other weekend. Others want a partner who can go rock climbing and loves to camp. Some want someone who knows how to boat, is a diver, and can bait her own hook. Some want one who will come to football games and tailgate every weekend.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but "high value" doesn't mean "boring WASP". Men from just about every subculture can be "high value". $150k? Talk to some plumbers. Many of them will laugh if you think they want some Muffy stereotype. Men aren't a monolith, and "high value" men aren't either. |
Not in those words, but yes, he didn't want someone who would self describe as feminist. |
|
I assume men who don't want a feminist want to abuse their family with little/no push back. It's a red flag.
Kind of like men who obsess over their daughter's virginity, they seem 2 steps away from molesting her. |
Ab-suh-f@king-lutely! |
