		<description>1. Wife has obligation to keep her figure; get back in shape after childbirth

2. no need to worry about man&#039;s sex drive; woman needs to &quot;pretend&quot; even if her drive is not quite there</description>

		<description>Two of your questions are more suitably designed for HUSBANDS than wives;

1. Can you handle the obliteration of my former physique for at least eighteen months for each child I bear? 

2. If your sex life were to evaporate, would you still be able to retain a fair perspective concerning your spouse?</description>

		<description>I&#039;d say that any woman these days is a bad bet.

Why bother asking them questions at all?

All they have to do is guess what you want to hear before answering - based on the questions - any woman with a functioning brain can do that...

Marriage is simply not worth it.

It has no benefits for a man.</description>

		<description>These prospective questions are all excellent reasons as to why it is insanity for two parents, of very young children, to hold full time - 40+ hour a week - jobs. 

If both of the parents have such a low income that they need to work full time jobs in order to survive, they should at least get a grandmother, grandfather, or other willing family member who can manage the children. This is an arrangement I frequently see in low income, but family oriented, Hispanic and Middle Eastern immigrants. 

While feminists complain that the rules of the old days prevented women from supporting their families - in dire situations - there is much evidence to prove the contrary. 

The reality is that in the 50&#039;s, 30 % of all American women had jobs - this 30% being the widowed or low income women who needed further means to support their families. I also know this, because both of my grandmothers were in that category. So much for the &quot;glass ceiling.&quot;

Also, I think these prospective questions reveal why the family situation that came before the &quot;nuclear family&quot; of the 50&#039;s, the conglomerate clan of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents who all lived together in the beginning of the 20th century, is the ultimate set up for child rearing. When humans began to move away from the tribe/clan set-up that has been the mold for our race for millenia - even in the 50&#039;s - they were making a bold move away from the natural that would lead to the deterioration of society.</description>

		<description>You know, you might want to ask the men the same questions...I mean seriously, some can&#039;t.

Many men look to sex as a way of us ladies showing our interest...seriously, a guy at the gym just told me this.  How can those of us who don&#039;t find a decent guy when there are so many who are ruining it for the decent of both sexes?</description>

		<description>Another question to ask a prospective bride there Welmer is if she would ever DEVOTE a whole blog to talking about what she dislikes and disrespects in &#039;her&#039; husband -

&#039;My Husband is Annoying&#039; is chock full of irritating traits of blog writer&#039;s hubby - NYDailyNews.com

&quot;She&#039;s airing their dirty laundry because he won&#039;t pick up his.

Tiffanie Wong of Brooklyn Heights recently started a blog to tell the world of her husband&#039;s annoying habits. 

It&#039;s called, not surprisingly, &quot;My Husband Is Annoying.&quot; 

Wong updates her blog every few days to lament on some of her husband&#039;s quirkier antics.  [...]

		<description>Justin, you are right about good women being attractive. Unfortunately, young men are going into the mating game with almost no instruction concerning this. I was really an idiot about women until I was about 30, but by that time I was already married and it was too late. 

Is it possible to educate young men to choose wisely? Maybe, but nowadays how many of them are actually taken aside by an older, wiser guy and told in a very serious manner how vitally important it is? Very few, I think. This was part of the point of my post -- I think it&#039;s my social responsibility to tell younger men what really matters. I think most young women still instinctively want to be happy wives/mothers, but they don&#039;t know how. Perhaps the only way they&#039;ll learn is by being denied marriage if they don&#039;t measure up. Their education would take a big effort on the part of parents and society in general, and I&#039;m not sure people want to put the time into that endeavor anymore. 

So maybe now only the women who are truly a cut above will make suitable wives, but where does that leave most men? Not in a very good place.</description>

		<description>Nova, on the one hand, I am tempted to say, screw the wider subset of non-Christian men.  You wanna have a lot of sex with the 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s, good luck to you: study Game deeply, we all know it works.  

If you are interested in positive answers to Welmer&#039;s questions-for-the-bride, character is primary, which Game is completely unconcerned with.  So, how attractive are they?  I say, very high, if your own values are screwed in straight.   

The women with feminine characters and strong maternal instincts are as dismayed and disgusted with the contemporary scene as we are.  They are desperate to meet good men.   

If they are in a small minority, well, that balances just right, since good men are in short supply too. 

No one wants to hear my advice, because working on your own character is a lot harder than working on your inner/outer Game.</description>
