I don't think "husband material" is an insult, rather it's an indication that you're the kind of guy a woman should be with. The kind of guy with husband-like qualities on paper but exudes no kind of attraction, charm, or chemistry.

That's because you probably lacked a father figure, a guide, a mentor.

And here is the truth of it all.

In other words, being 'husband material' = being single and lonely..

Based upon the number of single, fatherless mothers running around, definitely funny, fun, etc is outweighing secure, stable, in the attraction department for women.

No one's claiming that women have an affinity to be attracted to what will be best for them.

My observation is that women have poor taste and show little sense in their choice of men. It's almost as bad as the poor sense men have in picking out women.

Not really.

Men ultimately are attracted to the physical first. Many women now that are attractive are also educated with good jobs. Generally these come with crappy 'I don't need you' attitudes but what can you do you can't have it all lol.

But yes there isn't a lack of hot little bodies with no brains or character that men are flaunting over.. myself included

Why do people always say this?

And it's always "everybody else," not the ONE person speaking. The whole rest of the world seems to have this problem but of course, not the speaker...

...then when the speaker has problems in his own relationship, it's because she must have been crazy, he's such a good guy.

(Women do this too...I just said "guy" because I'm guessing the person is a guy, unless he's a chick named Steve.)

Well he did give us that men are almost as bad...anyway and besides-- if men are the ones who usually make the first move why is it women who always have the bad picker? Maybe we could change the terminology around to: women have a bad 'acceptor'?

And another thing that I would like to point out is that these same "men" posting about how females are stuck up, this that and the third when most of THEM are the ones who are coming after us to begin with.

It just gets the point where a person asks "What in Sam Hill do YOU want from me?"
