I have a 24 year old son who would love to find a smart conservative woman. Unfortunately, all he can find are liberals who think they're smart but aren't, don't know how to dress or act and drink too much. He's got a few more years before thinking about marrying so I'm hoping some of them will grow up by then.
See post 11...
A study showed that men only start becoming liberal while in college and once out of college, start becoming more conservative. Women, on the other hand, tend to become more and more liberal until they are married, at which time their focus becomes less focused on self and more on their families. Women are also much more concered with what other women think of them than men are, so they tend to seek acceptance from other women by hiding their true nature and adopting the 'liberalspeak" of other women. If you son finds one who is only mildly liberal (still shaves her armpits and has never attended a "hate Bush" festival), chances are that she will quickly shift right once married.
I know a 21-year-old young lady who is smart and conservative (friend of the family). She's also sweet, somewhat naive, and lots of fun. They are out there, so your son should not give up hope.
"...all he can find are liberals who think they're smart but aren't..."
That perfectly captures liberals!
Same for my son who soon will be 22. Add to that the women are sooo possessive. The last 6 months he has been going out with the boys & having much more fun than some women pushing him in their direcion.
My 42 year old son has searched and searched and keeps finding nothing but demanding, insufferable losers who are spoiled rotten and clueless as to what makes a good wife. Many of them are "career women" who have been heavily into sex, drugs and alcohol and look it. Several over 35 are also divorcees with small kids and all they want is a sucker with a paycheck. He has essentially given up looking.
We have 5 sons and 2 daughters.
We got married when I was 23 and she was 19. (in 1962)
My observation is that the available mates start declining in the early twenties, and just like the oranges in the supermarket, the best go first. Sooner or later, all that are left are leftovers.
A girl in her early thirties made the observation that Guys are just like toilets. They are either taken or they are full of it. Our kids married in their early twenties, and all are married to great mates.
My opinion is that a marriage in the early to mid twenties is the best, because then they develop together.
