He wants the aesthetic labor of an Instagram influencer combined with the workload of an 1800s farm wife, all wrapped up in a fantasy that somehow costs zero effort.

Who wants to tell him that “natural hair” isn’t what he thinks it is? I guarantee he’s imagining perfectly highlighted and blended extensions, styled in barrel curls and he thinks that’s what women’s hair looks like fresh out of bed in the morning.

The sneaky part is that the list treats her unpaid labor as proof of her value while making his contribution invisible. Compatibility isn't a woman passing an audition; it's two adults negotiating a life.

To those who lack critical thinking, homeschooling just looks like teaching kids addition and subtraction followed by storytime. Because they hate teachers, whose job is SO EASY, anyone could do it (though for some reason most people won't). 😑

LOL... I like how "wants to have five kids" doesn't automatically come with "loves children" and had to be included separately. But go on, Captain Couldn't-define-communism-if-his-life-depended-on-it... tell the class what job your homeschooled ass has that will support 7 people on 1 income.

I do have a friend who converted to Catholicism, who has (unless I missed any) nine children. Fortunately her husband got into computer programming in the 80s, so he could support them. I know for a fact that were it his choice, they would have used birth control.

I'm not going to pretend that my teenage self never wrote "ideal boyfriend" lists, usually post-breakup. But while they were often extremely shallow and unrealistic, they weren't this disturbing.

Mine were more a list of whatever had annoyed me about the recent ex. "Does not play (specific computer game)" was a fairly frequent flier.

A lot of us did, but with luck, we grew out of it. There are probably young women in traditional families that fit his parameters, but he’d better have $$$ to support a big family.

Why do they always want women to have 5+ kids? It’s not like the men will play any role in parenting them. The woman could just claim to have a child and the dude would never know and be satisfied

I was dumb enough in high school to write down what my ideal woman would be like. Even back then, at my most immature levels, my list wasn't similar. In fact, I listed "purple hair," which no one naturally has and "reads the bible" didn't make the list anywhere.

Oh please. They all, to a man, would walk right by a woman who looked like that on their way to harass a woman who's all done up & wearing form-fitting clothing. They just want her to be "modest" AFTER they've trapped her so they don't have to worry about putting effort into keeping her happy.

THIS IS GREAT!!!! We know the assignment. We can keep these chuds at arms length while they search for a mythical Disposable SlaveWife. Carry on while I put some purple streaks in my hair and avoid church.

So true!! They did not understand those shows at all, especially the Sopranos. My MAGA family could not grasp that Tony could be the main character and a likable family man and still not be a good guy.

One of the many many many things to love about Mad Men was the difference between reality and the All-American Family bushwah Don and crew were pumping. Oddly enough, my dad _loved_ being a suburban father because he grew up Depression-poor. It was like paradise to him.❤️😂

"I want a domestic concubine I can keep in my home that will only interact with me and be obsessed with serving me!" Sounds like a terrifying wish. Like legit sounds like someone who is going to cut off his skin while quoting the bible.

He probably doesn't look at women who dress "modestly" . He needs to have a job that allows her to do all that stuff. Also, it is obvious he wants her wearing a skirt like that so he can lift it whenever he wants.

Him: Describes 50s trad wife Also him: Only wants to play playstation 5, hates doing yardwork, has no clue how to re-mount a door that isn't hung properly, and doesn't make enough money to support a household, absolutely could not be 50s trad husband.
