I have to laugh about #4. After wearing a long skirt to work last night I was instantly nicknamed "Blondie Duggar."

Yikes, my blondeness is really showing. I did not realize that this was written by a female. So is she making good points or just being bitter?

You admit to #4?
I thought the men who would admit to looking for #4 -- the "perfect" woman -- would be few and far between.

You can't find a woman who will homeschool?? It is becoming so popular even among non religious families.

There is so much available online to get started.

I presume the goal was humor. There's certainly some truth to it, but you can just as easily turn the statements around and apply them all from the ladies' perspective in searching for a potential husband.

Right now all I need is a man to come slay the gigantic, homicidal spider that is dwelling in my shower. I need to get ready. :cry: :cry: :cry:

The major reason is that marriage is a low priority for most modern young women and their parents, including those who are called "trads"

Until they're desperate. That comes later.

Interesting. I don't really understand that. If you're raised traditional and know you'll marry and become a mother, what is prioritized above that? Develop a career you'll know you will have to leave? s it just that they've been so sheltered that they want to break loose? Like the Amish on Rumspringa?
