I guess I really don't understand the frustration. Should I be frustrated that a woman I find very attractive and want to be in a romantic relationship with has plenty of other suitors? Of course they do, I have good taste. That isn't something to be frustrated by.
I'm still trying to understand these men who looked at a picture, and could decided if the woman would be a good wife or not. Look at a picture and say wow she's someone I would like to meet, or she's gorgeous, would like to talk to her, but marry? I guess these guys are just basing it on the fact that they are really attracted to a picture, that is what matters most? And I'm not trying to be funny or argumentative, I'm really trying to understand.
so, over 1300 men were shown photos of different women and asked "would you choose this woman for your wife", with possible answers of yes, no or i dont know. 80% were able to say yes or no.

I think she is just joking around, but does make a valid point

That makes not one lick of sense. They know nothing about the person other than how they look in a single picture. They were likely saying "I find this person physically good looking enough to marry" and not what you said, which is they will make "a good wife". Those are VERY different statements.

yes, thanks.
Not too long ago I started dating a 5'8" guy. He dumped me after a few weeks. Couldn't handle that I was taller, bigger arms, bigger truck, bigger house, his coworkers making fun of him, and when we went somewhere, I got hit on by other men, because they didn't even recognize him as my date. Hugging him felt awkward not just because I had to bend over so far, but also because he was skinny.
Just by our conversations and him mentioning every now and then him being LITTLE and doing this and that differently because he is to TINY, made me internally cringe and his little shoes next to mine besides the front door, lol, funny. He acted very manly but it was quite a challenge for me and apparently it didnt work for him at all.
I wouldn't say 6 foot is a demand for most women but if you're my height at 5'8 you're pretty screwed
I've dated a few men 5'8 or less. Sometimes I think it was a weird fetish thing for tall women, but the majority were sweet guys who treated me well. I would do it again if the opportunity presented itself. The key is confidence.
Yeah I would need some more explanation on that one, from the men who supposedly said they can look at a picture and tell she would make a good wife. She may not even look like the picture they are basing that assumption on, which wouldn't be a good look for a potential wife out the gate.

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife.
