Yeah... I’ll just take any ol’ husband, no matter how mean and nasty he is, as long as he can impregnate me, and so I don’t have to live alone. That’s some great plan. No husband definitely would be better, IMO.

You are making an "Appeal to Extremes" ("...any ol’ husband, no matter how mean and nasty he is, as long as he can impregnate me..."); it was certainly never suggested that women should marry "mean and nasty" men.

You are also "Moving the Goal Posts" ("...“Mighty good” doesn’t mean great, excellent, or perfect. Mighty good is the best you can hope for...").

Any reasonable FReeper would agree that, generally speaking, "mighty good" means "above average." Perhaps in some vernaculars (like in the South, where hyperbolic courtesy is popular), it might mean "adequate."

To be satisfied only with "the best you can hope for" is a recipe for failure in life.

Regards,

Hope is pretty much waiting and watching the universe go by. It takes effort to be successful.
