[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]BTW, I've been married for 20 years. I would not want my DD to settle. My DS will have 3 degrees in a STEM field and will be earning good money. He also knows how to cook, do his own laundry, and clean his bathroom (DD oth is a slob; we're still trying to teach her).[/quote]

That's great, but that alone does not make one a good partner. My ex knew how to do all of those things, and had 2 degrees in a STEM field, yet would criticize my daughter and I relentlessly.  We get along fine as acquaintances now, but he was not a good life partner.  [/quote]
of course, personality is important.  He's pretty chill and wants to have a family one day.   But, we aren't talking about just personality, but about what women are looking for in a partner.

You obviously didn't know he was going to be that critical of your child when you married him.  [/quote]

She did.  She was in awe of his accomplishments and how perfect he was in everything he touched, but she didn’t realize that people like that don’t place high demands on just themselves.[/quote]
