The Mr. prefers #2, which worked out, because that's me... except for the working full-time part. I worked full-time until we had kids, and since then I have been in college and working freelance (mostly from home).
The two categories in the OP are ridiculous beyond belief. Very few women would fit into either of those categories. As if "modern women" somehow aren't feminine or don't wear dresses? As if all "traditional woman" have sex whenever their husbands want to even when they're not in the mood? Please.
Most men I've met seem to want a modern woman. A working partner. When I was in my 20s, I wanted very badly to marry, have kids and be a stay at home mom. I couldn't find a guy willing to do that with me. None of them were capable of supporting a family with their income, and none of them really wanted to.
Over time, as I entered my 30s, I got over the idea of the traditional family and decided against having kids. I've been single a while, but it seems I am more appealing to men now than when I wanted to be a traditional housewife. Maybe it's just the type of men I attract, but most guys I meet now are pleased by the fact that I have my own career. A number of the men I've met in the past few years don't want kids, either. Or they already have kids and don't want more.
These are just the men who happen to be attracted to me, however. There are all kinds of men.
I got into a couple of interesting discussions today with women and we're starting to wonder what men these days are REALLY looking for. If you had the choice, which would you marry?
1) "Traditional" Woman: Has your children, stays at home to take care of them, cooks well, keeps the house very clean, wears very feminine clothing and keeps herself made up/hair done, etc, has sex whenever the husband wants, does more listening than talking, keeps her opinions to herself.
2) "Modern" Woman: Has a full-time job, earns approximately half of the household income, if she has kids she goes back to work by the time each child is 2-3 years old, cooks and cleans but expects her husband to do half of the work, is fashionable but usually wears jeans as opposed to dresses, likes sex but she needs her needs met in bed, is very aware of the economy, politics, the world, etc. and always states her mind.
Men--please choose which one you would marry and also mention your age and any other background about yourself.
Definitely 2) other than jeans- I don't care for them.
However, more important are shared values.
I'm 2) (other than jeans) and would prefer someone similar.
