[quote=Anonymous]I think the first thing is to know your own self worth. Without that foundation (self respect, confidence), a young woman can be easily swayed by the flattering attention of men who are not so great as long term partners.

The men from your family and early life will cast a long shadow. I knew that my dad was even tempered and kind, a good dad to us and a good man overall. I also knew that I should not marry someone like him b/c he was a thoughtless husband who could/would not do chores.

I read romance novels in my teenage and early adult years and had this idealized vision of what a man should be. That ideal really led me astray. Talk to your daughter about what she thinks is attractive and why.

What I've learned since my 20s is that there are plenty of good men, many who will not appear to be conventionally good looking at first but will become irresistibly attractive once you get to know them. They are emotionally secure, intelligent, hard working, have a good sense of humor, believe in gender equality, and fun. A lot of my colleagues and all my friends are like this. They're good husbands who cook, clean, and wrangle the kids. They're good company and good human. [/quote]
