I have always believed (going back to the 1950s) that a man looks for a woman who probably resembles his mother as he remembers her from early childhood, while a woman decides, at a certain time in her life, to marry - - and takes whatever is immediately available. (Well, it happened to me).
Sorry. I married the exact opposite of my mother in every way except both were physical beauties when young....my 65 yr. old wife has the figure of a teen (size 4 after 8 kids), while my mother has packed on the lbs. as she’s aged. I love my mother - but I don’t like her....selfish, self-centered, oblivious to needs of others, spoiled, stingy.
And I’m the polar opposite of my wife’s dad as well.
