Oh bull.

Well, for me, oh bull.

How utterly boring that would be. That need for a submissive wife is a mentality I'll never undersatnd. It wouldn't be fun, fulfilling, or sexy--to me anyway.

I'd probably cite all the reasons except cooking ability. My wife is a pretty good cook but she learned on the job, it had nothing to do with why I married her, which was:

Intelligence, personality, sense of humor, wisdom, interpersonal and sexual chemistry. Physical beauty played a large part in the initial attraction and of course, continues to.

Some wife jokes....

Why is a wedding gown white?

To match the fridge and stove.

Why did the wife cross the road?

Who the frig cares; what's she doing out of the kitchen?!

I always heard the punchline as "So the dishwasher will match the fridge and stove."

Personally, I find the words, "Why would any sane person want to get married?" and "I'll never have kids." to be some of the sexiest words to come out of a woman's mouth.

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

A thought... the quote is to not go to bed angry... it didn't say nuttin about solving it all!! I assume you've taken this tack with her, actually. Nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree in the name of love till a better time to hash it out comes along.

Ah, but then she'd complain she couldn't sleep all night because she was preoccupied with the issue... Wink

Babayaga,

Sorry, got over a little late for this one. Reading through the list, don't have much to add.

Each man needs/wants different things. A great rear end does wonders for me, but neither my wife nor a large majority of women I've dated had a truly great one. There were two notable exceptions. Could I have a successful relationship with a woman just based on looks? Well, maybe for a day or two, maybe even weeks, but a relationship as opposed to an affair? No.

Agree that most of those things are important and the personality/character certainly does anchor it all, I think. Also, these things change over time. What I thought/understood about these issues defintiely changed over time. They also can change with each relationship we go through as, hopefully, we're learning along the way and refining it all.

Hmm... don't think I added anything to this thread.

Last girl I dated said exactly that! Guess what? She was married and pregnant within 8 months of us splitting. Rolling Eyes Life simply has NO guarantees. If we'd stayed together I'd probably be a daddy now.

Dodging that bullet must have made you feel like you were in The Matrix, huh?

Actually, no, just the opposite. I was ambivalent, but would have been fine with being a father, but the last eight months or so I've actually missed not having kids. (Ladies, no, I'm not on a wife search. )

[Oops, I have to scratch the first complaint of this dyspeptic post, regarding this thread, but the second one still stands] ... when I checked my posting history, I found several posts by other people, which are now attributed to me.

What's up with that?

I'd want her to cook well.

And have an attractive brother who enjoys anal sex.

Past that, I don't care what she looks like.

Funny, every day I come home from work, I thank my lucky stars I have none of my own. Thinking of getting the boys snipped just to make sure it never happens.

Why do men get married?

So they have someone to tell them what to do.

My wife was so lazy.

Every time I went to piss in the sink it was full of dirty dishes.

A submissive woman of God.

"Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything" (Ephesians 5:24)
