This is what I am seeking in a woman:

• Ideally between the ages of 18 and 27 (although she can be slightly older if most or all other criteria match. 18 is the lowest because, of course, going any lower runs many risks legally and ethically, not because I don't want to per say)
• A REAL woman, not a transgender
• Ultimately desires marriage and a family (marriage doesn't have to occur immediately of course)
• Of course, desires to fall in love and have a romantic bond (not aromantic)
• Willing and able to bond via sex (not asexual)
• We are each other's first loves (she has no previous romantic bonds with a guy/never been in love... I am not talking strictly about virginity here)
• 5+/10 rank in physical attractiveness (a beautiful woman is a bonus, but not at all a deal breaker. She can be average in attractiveness... also I know this is subjective, but I am being general)
• Not black (I just never really was attracted to black women)
• Doesn't do drugs and is not an alcoholic

Some very desirable bonuses but NOT hardline deal breakers:

• She is a Christian
• She is white
• Has a good family background

About ME:

• I am 27, turning 28 in a few months
• I have never had a real girlfriend
• I have a decently good-paying job as a frontend software developer
• I currently live at home, but seeking independence when I can
• I am 5'6" in height
• I am average looking at best
• I own a decent car and a Class A RV
• I am very affectionate with women if given an opportunity
• I want to get married and have a family one day
• I am monogamous

Well, what do you think?

Came across this woman while looking at one of Kevin Samuel's video. Listed below was her comment for the video.

"I have a high value man and I just listen and do everything I can for him. He takes care of me and my daughters better than their father ever did. I am 37 and he helps me with everything so I will do all in my power to show my appreciation. I never called in to Kevin's show to ask any questions. I grew up with my man and him taking in me and my children was a blessing."

My initial thinking was this.

If you grew up with the man who is now your husband and knew him since childhood, why is it you ended up having kids with another man instead of just marrying this guy and having his biological children.

So I asked her this and her reply back to me was this.

"because I wasn't around him daily. We lived in two different cities that were close but still far enough to only see him summers at the Boys and Girls Club we attended. He wasn't the only guy in the city (lol). I also grew up with My Ex Husband (my daughters father). We're all the same age. I was able to spend more time with my daughters father because he was more assertive and went after me.

My husband now was a bit more shy and was also dating someone else. He wasn't my type He was just a nice friend. His relationship didn't work and my marriage ended. We remained friends and hung out on dates. He was always a gentlemen. One day we had too many drinks and now we've been married 7 years. He said he always knew I was supposed to be his wife. We still to this day are friends first."

Now let's say you were this guy in this exact situation with a 37 year old woman with a little girl that is not biologically yours. Your wife appreciates and loves you but you still have to see her ex-husband from time to time when he comes to visit the kids. Would you be ok being in a relationship like this?
