[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I think a lot of biglaw partner- and counsel-track associates would be down with this. [/quote]

Yep like every single male partner and counsel I know.[/quote]

If anything she is in a good area to find biglaw partners.
One advice I would give her is to always insist on a condom except when procreating.
I just don't trust those guys. [/quote]

Yep. Every law partner or counsel guy I know (so OP – look for age 35+ usually) is wanting a family, but they are clear that their job will be to bring home the $$$ and the wife will handle “life.” They are not going to be opting out of a last minute hearing in Phoenix tomorrow because Larlo has an earache and needs to go to the dr. or his daycare is closed and the wife has a big meeting so they have to be home.  Frankly they’d rather not even know who Larlo’s dr. is or where daycare is located.  Same applies to attending doctors, business owners and if OP were willing to consider blue collar business owners (HVAC, plumbing etc.) it opens up the field more. The concept remains – they know they can make the $$ so they want you to deal with daily life and not let life impede their work.

OTOH OP – I’d stay away from associate attorney guys (so age 26-35).  Almost every single one I know wants a wife who not only works but makes 150k+, 200k+ is even better. Much of this is because they don’t want to be law firm partners/counsel and want to mommy-track themselves.  For those who may want it, they see how impossible it has been to make partner and worry about it never happening for them – so thinking ahead they realize that if if they have to downsize to a 150k job at age 35, they realize life will be infinitely better with a wife also earning 150k rather than a wife earning 0.

Oddly specific suggestion – but if you’re a sports gal, try to meet some college football coaches.  There are many out there whose ultimate goal is being a D1 coach.  So after they finish college ball at 22-23, they try to get themselves a 2 yr graduate assistant coaching gig at some non name school; then that leads to a 2 yr assistant wide receivers coach gig at Western Mich; then that gets them to be a wide receivers coach at Lock Haven for 3 yrs and on and on as they move up the ladder and hopefully settle at one school by 35-40.  So while you have to be open to moving, it’s a life that requires SAHWs bc no one can recreate their career every 3 years.

Also LDS guys – you’d have to convert (so think about whether that’d cause family issues for you – as your fam couldn’t attend an LDS wedding).  But the LDS guys around here are more “progressive” in that many don’t marry until 26 or 28 but they still want 4+ kids and SAHWs.  The ones who are around here are typically the ones who didn’t lock it down with a high school or college sweetheart before leaving for a mission and then when they reached out to the girl they liked when they were in law/b school and wanting to settle down – turns out the girl they were crushing on was already married with 3 kids.  I assume there’s an ex-LDS community here too who wouldn’t require conversion but still would be ok with a SAHW.

Honestly join a church in whatever your faith is.  The type of guy that attends church at a young age AND socializes there at singles events etc. is the type of guy looking for a traditional marriage.

The other option is someone who is in the military and wants to have a career in the military. Like the coach (I actually know some coaches' SAHM wives), the life requires SAHWs because of the constant moves and the deployments.[/quote]

Yeah and I think there may be military dating websites. If not - go hang out at the bars that are closest to any military bases, we have plenty in this area. There are plenty of guys who want to be career military who opt out after 5 yrs because it's too hard to keep moving and it's keep their wife from a career. But if you're willing to be a trailing spouse, you'll find the guy that wants that.[/quote]
