Yeah, that’s a weird list, to be honest it doesn’t sound like a real person, but more like something Cliff Claven imagines women are like. I like my women to be non-fictional
“In all fairness, it’s a very good cock.”
“amibivalent”
= “feels both ways”
=/= “feels lukewarmly toward”
I don’t consider most of these traditional, but I can do without some of them, while I don’t think others should be exclusive to the woman. In fact, if you remove gender from most of these, I think aspects of them would be more tolerable.
In answer to the question, though, no, I don’t prefer a “traditional” woman (as described, or otherwise).
Paying attention to her physical appearance is awesome, but not to the point where she becomes high maintenance. Effort involved is great, as with anything (and I certainly do this, myself), but the world shouldn’t stop because things weren’t “perfect”.
We both should be able to confide within each other and the same goes for advice. I consider this basic for any real relationship.
For me, sex is a good part of the relationship, so yes, except for the “keen all the time” part. Sometimes you’re just not up for it and the difference when you’re not, is apparent.
In no way, shape, or form, would I ever want to delegate all aspects of running the household to her. I’m a pretty responsible person, and so I’d feel pretty ridiculous if I weren’t taking on a portion, myself. It’s not even about her, I just couldn’t function that way.
I actually despise subservient personalities. If/when there is conflict, logic and reason should have more bearing, and if I’m wrong, I should be able to admit it and be forgiven (if it applies), moving on afterwards.
stares dramatically out window and wipes single tear from eye Oh, how I wish I were uglier! If only I could be as yellow-toothed, flatulent and poorly dressed as the popular girls!
Not for me! I want the nontraditional babe who I avoid speaking with on any sensitive subjects, sending all my questions and concerns to advice columnists.
Well, it makes it tough to keep up with the Traditional Man chores.
About the term “Hetero Men”, does anyone else hear this sung by a Monty Python chorus?
Too late to edit this in but:
… I’ll be in my bunk. 
My main qualifiers are simple: have a generally pleasant and stable demeanor, absolutely no nagging, and being pretty enough. Seems simple enough but the first two disqualify 95% of them right off the bat.
The trouble comes when she starts wanting to carry it around in her handbag.
I assumed that from the thread title too. But his list of attributes doesn’t really describe that. Not that you’re wrong about what he was aiming for. He missed it a bit though.
Probably what he was going for (which jibes with the '50s sitcom wife), but too chicken to actually write that.
Another vote for the oddity of the list. My wife is not my equal; she is my better in many ways.
Well, I waited and looked and finally found a perfectly traditional Ukrainian woman to be my bride. She’s traditional in the sense of traditions in her country. Fortunately, that works great for me. She’s not subservient and she has definite ideas of what men and women are and what behaviors are expected for them. So I have to be able to step up to the plate in some areas too. Works fine for us.
I actually laughed out loud and for quite a while when I read this.
Weird list.
No, but they apparently only think in excluded middle fallacies.
My answer: No, I don’t look for traditional women, but, yes, I do mostly look for what you consider one, save for the subservience, which I think should go both ways.
I do think most men and most women look for their traditional counterparts, however.
I voted as if that was all or nothing, so I voted against on #3 and #7.
We both try give each other 100%. Not 50/50, but I get the trump. This woman sounds like some romanticized, idealized fantasy from a control freak who sounds like he’d expect dinner on the table and all the laundry folded by the time he got home.
I wouldn’t COMPLAIN about any of those - except the last one, which is all sorts of screwed up. I mean really, what the hell? They’re not my primary concerns, however.
Even from the most mercenary standpoint, where all a man sees a woman as is the factory for his offspring, these qualities wouldn’t be altogether desirable. A woman having all these qualities would tend to produce offspring who never questioned and never stood up for themselves.
This would have been ideal, actually, back when we needed sons to fight the cold war and daughters to produce more sons.
Ok, this woman sounds like a GREAT slave, though not that great a wife.
Can I have both?
You are describing a holodeck fantasy.
