OK, I will bite.  I think most men have a baseline standard on three things in a woman they want to marry: (1) physical attractiveness; (2) being caring and kind; (3) enthusiasm/frequency of sex. If a woman meets all three of those baseline requirements, they are marriage material. If any of those three are missing in a woman, they are not really marriage material. Things like intelligence, career, sense of humor, shared hobbies, are all nice bonuses for some men, but not core requirements.

I think the main exception to this is for religiously devout men who remain celibate before marriage. Then shared religious values are part of the baseline standard but sexual compatibility is just glossed over pre-marriage and can lead to a sexually incompatibility during the marriage.

Young, single women: take note. This PP has given you all the info you need about how most straight men actually are, not how we would like them to be.[/quote]

Most men think like this, that might be true. But you don’t have to marry most men. My husband wanted intellectual compatibility and a life partner. To him that meant someone with drive, ambition, and brains. It didn’t have to equal having a career, but in practical terms if you take the group of women who have those traits and the group of women who have a serious career there’s an overlap between those two sets. I made clear that my career was important to me from the very beginning and that was not only not a dealbreaker but a plus in his eyes. Look for someone who appreciates you as you are.[/quote]
