"Wifey material" in the stereotypical form of the phrase IMO would be a woman who loves to cook and clean, great with kids, smoking body, ect. But men look for different qualities in women. I don't neccessarily agree with the viewpoint that a woman who gets the title of wife has put up with lying and b.s. There would not be any happily married couples out there if that was the case. BUT I do agree that a lot of woman do put up with a lot of crap from their partner and then wonder why they turned into such a horrible husband after they marry. I believe that you need to learn to live with the less then desirable traits that your SO has BEFORE marriage comes into the picture, AND accept them. I think there would be a lot less divorces if that happened. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Nubian Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah I agree men want a woman who can cook, clean ,good with kids etc. I have just seen ALOT of situations where guys have been with their girl for 8 ,9 ,or even 10 years and havent proposed the guys keep dragging them along with hopes of marriage. Ive even seen men have outside babies on their girlfriends and she still hangs around!!!! I mean honestly to me that is the BIGGEST betrayal of trust if you cheat and dont even have sense enough to use a condom.. But through out all of these the girlfriend sticks around just to get that ring.To me its soooo not worth it I guess im not wife material cause i figure Ill do bad by myself but each his own.

But men look for different qualities in women. I guess its a good thing I never want to get married since I don't cook or clean and I don't like kids. What exactly is so important about a women who cooks and cleans? A man should know how to take care of himself by the time he is ready to get married. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know, I guess some men are just old fashioned. In most cases though, men just like to be taken care of. My fiance can cook and clean but he still likes me to do it too.

make me believe Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I believe that the women who gets the title as wife is the one who puts up with all the lying and B.S in the onset of the relationship Aw! No! That is a terrible thing to think. I have no idea what "wife material" is, though. I suspect it's different for different guys. She does have to be somebody they can take seriously, though. So, somebody responsible, intelligent, and with a certain level of maturity as opposed to a crazy party girl who just wants to have fun. Link to post Share on other sites
Enema Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 "Wife Material" is a versatile term that can mean different things depending on who you're talking to. Observe: Scenario 1: Man talking to his buddies, let's on that his girlfriend let him stick it up her date last night and loved it. Buddies say, "Wow, that's wife material right there!" Scenario 2: Group of people out at a party, the girlfriend is drunk as a skunk and let's go a huge burp, laughing uproariously. Buddies say, "Wow, that's wife material right there!" Scenario 3:Guy talking to his mates about his girlfriend. Mention's she just got a promotion in her career, doesn't want kids and is from a rich family. Buddies say, "Wow, that's wife material right there!" Link to post Share on other sites
lkjh Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wife material barely exist anymore. Its a woman that understands that her family comes before herself. A lot of women claim this but they don't live like it. Just look at all of the reasons why women get divorced, they are the same reasons they try to justify their affairs. Wife material is a standard that doesn't exist in the west anymore, its a woman that you marry and you know its for life Link to post Share on other sites
kampfy chair Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I don't really think that "wife material" has much to do with cooking and cleaning these days. I'm sure some men still look for that, but I think of wife or husband material as simply a person that will make a good life partner. Someone responsible, caring and motivated who will help shoulder burdens, make an active contribution to the relationship and who commands your respect. Link to post Share on other sites

Refers mostly to character likelihood of being faithful, loyal etc. Those things aren't really important for short term relationships, flings or ONS. Link to post Share on other sites
calizaggy Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 A woman who likes to take care of the home, and would make a good mother. A woman who enjoys cooking is very important. To me it shows that she has a nurturing side, and enjoys giving. In return I want to give her more. It also shows she enjoys the little things. Link to post Share on other sites

GoodOnPaper Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Wife material: A lady in public and a whore in the bedroom. A little crude and concise but largely accurate . . . I think an important factor is that the woman not only connects with the guy but sees and helps bring out a side that he rarely does with women. Of course, nearly every woman wants to find that alpha male or misunderstood badboy and tap into his emotional side. Those of us with "nice guy" tendencies want a woman that can see the passion and excitement that we have but have difficulty radiating for random people on the street. At this stage in my life, though, my most important qualification for "wife material" -- if I was able to do things over again -- would be someone with whom I can feel comfortable in my own skin.

Peaceful Guy Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 "Wifey Material" when a guy tells you this he's just telling you how creepy he is.. thats all. Link to post Share on other sites

Peaceful Guy Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 What is it exactly: Looks over personality, Personality over looks, What??? well, you don't really have to choose. i personally hope to marry someone that's caring, cool, and most importantly gets along with me really well. the real me though.. i see myself as getting with someone that's pretty mellow, and appreciates me.. aaannndd, i don't know.. i haven't met her yet! :cool: Link to post Share on other sites
Throne Of Lies Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Usually 'wife material' means a woman with a low number of sexual partners, in addition to other, less rare qualities. The only people that use that term seem to be the kind of guys that are hung up on that sort of thing. Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites
TheBritishGuy Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I think it depends a lot on the guy. Most guys that are eager to settle down will make compromises just to get maried. I'm a part of that small group that probably won't ever get married so if I had to consider marriage she'd have to be smoking hot, a gourmet chef and incredibly intelligent. With a woman like that it'd be hard not to marry her. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess thats why im still single because i dont have alot of tolerence.. Someone help me out please. Not sure about 'wifey', but in my mind wife material is a girl who (on top of the attraction/chemistry/similar interests) loves both the good and bad in you, is there with you during the rough times too - not just the good times, has your back, is your best friend, is someone you'd be willing to have kids with, admires you as a man, helps keep you in line/doesn't put up with BS, is at least somewhat domesticated (can cook a few things, knows how to iron a shirt, doesn't mind cleaning some)... Those are all the things that come to mind when I think about the kind of woman I'll take a knee for. Link to post Share on other sites

Women who stick with a guy for 3 years and want to marry but he doesn't are crazy. If she wants to marry she should move on or blame no one but herself. Not all men cheat. If a man loves you he will marry you. I have been married for 12 years and have a wonderful husband, no kids, and he does not cheat. I am very, very happy. You do not have to marry to be happy. I was very happy as a single woman also. Link to post Share on other sites
TheLoneSock Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 A good example of what I was talking about would be, say, the relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts in the movie 'Iron Man'. It's not a precise match to my description, but still a good example if you can see it on screen and recognize it. Link to post Share on other sites
SuburbanOblivion Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You are wife material to the right man, he just hasn't come along yet. Never settle for less than what you deserve, and keep in mind the bigger question, is he good enough to be husband material for you? Link to post Share on other sites
