What does it mean when a man says you’re a wife material?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am just talking with an interesting man. We’ve not even had a date though. We’ve just started talking.

When he heard I do the modeling as well teaching and that I am a lawyer. He said I am a wife material.

How does that even make sense though? 😅

most guys, when they’re flirting with you, trying to get a date, trying to impress you on a date, etc. are only thinking as far as enjoying your company and then getting you into bed. To be “date material“ you only need to be fun and attractive. This guy is saying that in addition to being fun and attractive you seem to be responsible and successful You sound like a girl he would want to marry—not just date. That doesn’t mean he will take the date more seriously -nor that he won’t try to get you into be immediately- but he will have the longer term in the back of his mind.

I think that’s the best answer. I agree.

When men that I know say you are “Wifey material”, they are rightly admitting that you are better being than him. Definite feminine qualities such as beauty, decency, graciousness, intelligence, and “can handle me” go into such an assessment and verbal reference.
💍 💍💍💍💍 Quality.

I agree. Usually “wife material” means you’re high quality, someone that they will take seriously in a relationship, someone that can truly bring good things to the table.

😎😎 I see no opposition so the ‘Wife Materialist Party’ takes the election 😎

I think he seems to value money, beauty, and status to make such a remark on that limited information.

Be careful he’s not after a trophy wife.

[FilmGuy93]

He's impressed by you, but I wouldn't read too much into a comment like that, at this stage.

[Dorian451]

It means he wants to put his baby batter in you while shagging.

[Chad345]

I think he meant it as a compliment. It is a little on the intrusive /offensive side to me. I mean, no big deal wither way.

It depends on your values and personality. I've never met a female lawyer who I thought was wife material, but I'm sure they exist. It really depends on her values and personality.

Why do people have such a bad view on lawyers?

[Opinion Owner]

Many lawyers try to profit from people's misfortune and they encourage the increasingly litigious society that has made life more expensive for everyone. The profit motive in the profession can be very harmful, and I see a significant lack of morals among lawyers.

But that wasn't why I said what I did. Female lawyers (and women in some other highly demanding professions) tend to make poor mothers and wives. I'm not interested in a woman who puts her career above her children, and would rather pay someone else to raise our children.

You're a lawyer, you tell us.

He says you're broke.

[Opinion Owner]

It is said to women who have no other job than cleaning and cooking for men.

Probably because he was jealous of your self-confidence, he tried to make you feel worthless. Stay away from such men, they are manipulative.

[Paul_in_Indy]

I’m sorry? If a man says that you’re the kind of woman he would like to marry you think he’s trying to make you feel worthless? I think we should assume that he has a different view of marriage than you and he was trying to pay you a compliment

[Opinion Owner]

@Paul_in_Indy Search for the meaning of 'wife material'. You will see that it does not mean 'the kind of woman to marry'.

[Paul_in_Indy]

That is definitely what it means. If a man says to you that you sound like wife material he means you are a girl he would be excited to marry. It is definitely a compliment.

[Opinion Owner]

@Paul_in_Indy I've seen meaning I talking about many times in social media memes. But instead of trying to justify myself, It would be more logical to hope that he was said to asker in the mean you're talking about.

[Paul_in_Indy]

I have no need to justify myself to you LOL
The context above is very clear. She is both a model and a lawyer. She is able to earn money with her physical attractiveness and her mind and education! If a guy responds to that information by saying she’d make a good wife.. That is very clearly a compliment. And no one said anything about being broke-That is very clearly a compliment. And no one said anything about being broke—except you.

[Paul_in_Indy]

I am truly sorry that you have such a negative outlook on marriage. …but almost all guys who say a woman would be a good wife mean something (very) positive by it. I think you should set back and consider: If your bias against marriage made you misread this post, then how may of the other posts you are thinking of did you misunderstand?

You should avoid men who want to marry if you are repulsed by marriage, certainly. …but a man who offers you marriage would be paying you a compliment.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@Paul_in_Indy I think you are right, your comment helped me understand better why he said so. I think that’s what he meant too, a compliment.

[Anonymous]

You've got him fooled.
