[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just talking to a male acquaintance and he was describing a woman as a great catch because of “her looks, her job, and her cooking”. I thought is that really it? Seems really simplified, but I know men are driven by different things then women. Men, what would make a woman someone you could have a serious relationship with or marry?[/quote]

Following, since my last ex told me I wasn't "marriage material."  Would love to know what men think of. [/quote]

Men I know that put in categories--usually mean a woman is promiscuous or has been fairly promiscuous--(more like a man with how she hooks up randomly or high # of prior partners), has something in her background that's sketchy, is drama, does not have a good education, her family is messed up, different religions (even from men that don't actively practice religion they were raised with), no career.  There is usually a combination of these things.

I would not take it personally though.  You might have none of those issues, but he just used that saying as an excuse.  He might also be a guy that wants parental approval and for whatever reason doesn't think you are a match for his family.[/quote]

Adding on: if you are old and he wants a lot of biological children, if you are divorced and/or already have kids and he wants to start a marriage 'fresh'.  Any things that don't match up with what is on a person's list.

But: single most important thing: if somebody ever says this to you and you want marriage---run...even if they come back to you later.  They didn't think you were good enough and who wants to be somebody's back up plan?[/quote]

I guess I'll be the a@@home here: yes, I do think there are two broad categories of women. Girls whose personalities and lifestyles only make them good candidates for short-term fun (ie those you f*ck) and girls who are actually driven, kind, intelligent and have qualities suitable for building a real bond and life together (ie those you marry)."[/quote]
