Do guys really want an old-fashioned wife?
I’m in the process of conducting a bit of a ‘non-scientific study’ for someone who recently proposed the question on whether or not men genuinely want to end up marrying an old fashioned kind of girl.
We’ve all heard it from our mother’s and grandmothers - but then again, we all know that ‘times change‘ - right?
I took my little investigation over to a forum where a diverse crowd of singles tend to hangout. After presenting the same question there, I was able to draw my own conclusion from the small percentage of men and women who actually responded.
What I’m seeing is that women are the ones that want to be old fashioned - the stay-at-home-mom and housewife - while men seem to want their wife to have some sort of marketable skill and to help out with the family finances.
Is that a safe assumption?
What are your thoughts?

Its funny because I wrote about this a few weeks ago.
Personally, I think the concept of the old fashioned wife who sits at home and just cooks and clean is absolutely ludicrous. With the opportunities open to women now, modern technology has made house maintenance significantly easier, and the overall understanding that men have to help out now … there is no reason a childless wife shouldn’t be working.
