This is a solid list. I would add that this list is good for even selecting an extended girlfriend for a committed relationship, not just marriage.
Verbal communication skills: Can she communicate (can YOU communicate??) or does she play passive-aggressive games and stare at you rather than talking things through? I learned my lesson on this one. You can't text and email your way through martial issues and problems that WILL arise.
Full agreement
Choose a woman from the upper Midwest or Great Plains states. Generally speaking, people here carry a hard work ethic, come from smaller towns, are more family-oriented, come from more solvent family units, are generally more religious, and overall are just nicer, honest people as in "Minnesota Nice." Best states: MN, WI, IA, NE, KS, ND, SD, IN, OK. Mediocre: MI, IL, MO, OH. Worst states: NY, MA, CT, FL, TX, CA. Hidden gem/underrated state: NM.
GO outside the US if you can. There are better pickings outside this femsentric country.
I did ....and contrary to the idiot that said in my PM i had too because my dating life in the US was bad.
BS.
If you want to get married and raise a family, the absolute best option is going to Eastern Europe, Latin America, or Southeast Asia and marrying a local woman there. If you go wife hunting in those areas, do not bring her back to the U.S. because she will Westernize, defeating the purpose of the exercise.
If it isn't feasible to leave the United States, I agree that women raised in the upper Midwest/Great Plains women are the best. It's ideal if you can meet them while living in one of those states. I would disagree on women from Minneapolis though. Minneapolis is a far left hotbed. Smaller towns in those states are best bets. Women from smaller towns who move to big cities are really a mixed bag. There are some really bad ones in that category.
Why is Texas bad? I think I can see your point on women from the big Texas cities, but smaller town Texas women could be good.
Why is New Mexico good? New Mexico has a high rate of teen pregnancy, so there's a good chance you're dealing with single mommery with a woman from New Mexico. However, the women with desires not to get pregnant and go on welfare who are raised in New Mexico often get out of New Mexico as soon as they graduate from either high school or college (they might take the in-state tuition route at UNM or NMSU).
In terms of geography, local dating markets are often influenced by how transplant heavy they are. The more transplant heavy the metro area is, the worse it will likely be for dating. In transplant heavy metros, few people really have a good social circle because few people are in the right social circles. Transplants tend to form weak social circles with other transplants with weak circles and few meet others in their social circles. Then, use of dating apps increases in these areas. Dallas, Las Vegas, and Phoenix are two great examples of this in the United States. All areas have experienced massive growth in recent decades and have few long term residents with strong circles. In a transplant heavy metro, there's often an overreliance on dating apps and nightlife, and shallower interactions.
HB6.5-7.5's in physical looks make the best LTRs and wives. Less drama, they try harder, fewer guys macking on them, but they're good-looking enough to hold your attention.
Everyone's definition of what a 6.5-7.5 is differs. I think "Cute" and "Hot" are better terms as they are less specific. My 7 may be your 6, but we'd both call them cute.
I think you want "Cute" instead of "Hot".
Education helps, but common sense is more important. An educated, sensible person has a greater likelihood of being able to critically think and solve problems rather than exacerbating them.
Career/job: Ask about her career aspirations, passions. In this day and age, you'll need two incomes to start a family. Plus, someone with career goals shows responsibility and that they likely have their s*it together.
I believe in avoiding most women who have a degree higher than a BA/BS degree. Also prefer BA/BS degree holders from non-elite universities. This is the happy medium on education.
Women with master's level or higher degrees tend to be more careerist and more feminist. Expect to hear a lot of SJW tripe from them. This isn't good.
Women with just a high school diploma, trade school certification/Associate Degree can be good choices. However, you really have to be careful in this category. There's a lot of single mommery here. Some are flaky. Some lack common sense.
A high flying career woman is often a bad choice. It's ideal to look for the women who makes a moderate salary with a reasonably stable job who isn't obsessed with working a lot of hours.
Check the family dynamic and history. Women coming from a fatherless household can be big trouble. Look for signs of abuse, mental illness, addictions, depression, etc., in her family. Ask how close she is to her parents and siblings.
Good points
The fewer dating apps they use the better. I’ve dated women who were on no apps and some that were on multiple/many. The ones that were on multiple dating sites simultaneously were always trouble, flaky, promiscuous, and worth 1-2 dates and a bang at best.
Yes!!!! And your absolute first interaction with these women should be in real life. Meeting a woman on a swipe apps ensures you'll get treated the absolute worst possible and you're often dealing with the lowest common denominator. The women who can meet their boyfriends without resorting to apps are the women typically worth dating. The best chance of meeting a woman that you can get some sort of extended relationship with occurs either through social circle or a cold approach in a non-bar venue.
Watch for excessiveness; smoking, drinking, drugs, spending, any OCD behavior really. This is a HUGE flag and harbinger of things to come.
Yes
