Men often talk about wanting women to let them feel like men. A portion of this requires women to sit idly by waiting on the man of their dreams to pick them out of the bunch (as opposed to taking the initiative to seek their husbands). However, an entire storyline is often left out of the plot we call love. And, pun intended, women must plot to be plucked.
Recently, I had a discussion with a guy friend who advised an engaged young woman that, if she ever wanted to become a bride, she had to "LIE, LIE, LIE" to her fiancee about the staggering number of men with whom she had been intimate. According to him, the fiancee would not be able to stomach the fact that her list of partners was so numerous. If this isn't a plot, I don't know what is, and at the advice of someone who would know, no less.
I guess the young lady's mother never told her that as a woman, she should always "keep a little something" to herself. Otherwise, she would never have considered disclosing her checkered past to the man she intended to marry.
With prerequisites in mind, we all subtly pursue our potential Prince Charmings by constantly demonstrating we meet "wifey" criteria. You have to audition in order to get the part, right?
I once had a male coworker tell me I was "designed to be a wife." At this, I demurely smiled and softly thanked him. Pretty is as pretty does.
