Actually, it doesn't seem like a single person who has commented is curious about your philosophies. "Curious" doesn't really seem to be the term, at all.

Those who have already responded have noted that "where you might find these types of women" is going to be fairly limited to fringe church groups, very sheltered societies, and potentially via importing them from other cultures.

Outside of that, I don't see you having a whole lot of luck, as your criteria as a whole, package deal is highly unrealistically attainable, at least in current, mainstream contemporary American culture.

It'll take a couple generations to fix the mess they left.
Divorces and abortions aren't problems. They are symptoms of problems. Those problems existed before the 'Boomers'.

Why should it be that way?

I don't see the reason why you'd want your wife to stay home with the children, she can work and have children. Two smaller paychecks are better than a big paycheck. Other than that, my list is quite simple - kind, caring and nurturing type. Add there the "young" requirement.

Too bad - that's not what you'll find in vast majority of cases. You'll find lots of crooks who pretend to be that. You'll either accept what you find or you'll reject to bother with the whole deal.

-Traditionally hot, with no weight problems, tattoos, etc.
-Young
-Wants to take good loving care of me as a matter of course (make coffee, do dishes, cleaning, cooking, and laundry)
-Wants to have a lot of children and stay home to raise them and be a mother to them
-Has desire to dress well, exercise, and keep herself up
-Is Catholic or is at least open to joining the Church


I could go on and list other things that would be nice touches, such as virginity, class and culture, liking to dance, being blonde, etc. but I'll pass because these 7 things I listed above already seem to weed out the vast majority of modern U.S. women. They would think I'm a "sexist", which I suppose I am in the sense that I think there are definite differences between the sexes and the man should take the lead in dating and in marriage. Masculine and assertive versus feminine and submissive. Am I wrong? Is my search for a legitimately womanly woman is vain? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.


TL;DR
I want a girl with sensibilities firmly in the middle-20th century and not this one.
I am sure people like this exist, but you're going to have a heck of a time finding her.

You want an extremely attractive women with a great personality who, for some unknown reason, is nonetheless willing to submit to your will and who will organize her life around serving you.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Because my list on the first page makes no sense if she has to go to work on top of her job as a WIFE. If she is going to work, I would want to help out with some of the chores.

It's amazing, not just in this thread but in real life, when I've talked about the kind of wife I wanted, it has always been some variation on "Good luck with that." Amazing because this used to be STANDARD.

That is amazing. I wonder why that could possibly be?

Because there are genuinely few girls out there that fit what is to me a very basic criteria.

Because my "femininity", female/submissive criteria is the killer, yet it is so basic to male/female relations, I couldn't imagine a great marriage existing without it (for me).
