I sincerely hope this is a joke- because if it was, it'd be kind of funny.
Which girl would you rather marry?

I'm willing to give him the benefit of a doubt on this one.

For the record, I'm not close to being married to anyone really, so this is just hypothetical in that regard. Although I was definitely thinking of two specific girls when I was trying to present the contrast and I could probably re-start either those situations if I wanted to and I still may. But c'mon, who needs them when you have librarian stalkers to fill any relationship voids in your life?
I was guessing that "A" was the librarian "stalker" and that "B" was the chic who for spite was doing the pranks with your books trying to get you to stop staring at the checkout counter looker and flirt with her, instead.
Thank God not many girls have parents wealthy enough to conspicuously spoil them, because sometimes they will turn out vicious if they can't have you.

Its illegal on the books, but nobody has ever been convicted of it is Utah. They only prosecute for secondary offenses like laying pine with minors and tax evasion.

I could ask you the same question. I was hoping thriller would dig the hole deeper, but was satisfied with your sarcastic response.
I agree. I almost never plan trips out beyond flights, hotels and maybe a early purchase ticket for a big event (like a concert or soemthing). Other than that we figure it out and enjoy the ride.

I'll combined two previous posts, option C and why not both. To mean why not both at the sametime the first one is subservant so she'll do what you ask and the 2nd is ambitious so just appeal to that. Example would be it would help further her career in case she has a woman boss and it could be good for experience.

I like my ******* in pairs.
I would love someone like girl B as long as I get to be a stay-at-home dad. I don't mind kids at all, and I'm a lifelong knowledge seeker. I would love nothing more than to dedicate my time to educating my kids. I would even consider homeschooling them, but I'd prefer they be socially extroverted.
They are not mutually exclusive. There are all kinds of clubs, sports leagues, reading groups and what not for kids to join. The effort would have to be made but it is possible.
I am not sure what it is but something about you keeps me from liking you.
I'm sure you're right. It'd be something to consider. But I'm just daydreaming anyway.
Pretty sure you're not alone in that.
This topic really made me stop and think, which rarely happens on this site. A lot has changed for me over the last 7(!) years of marriage, and I actually had to think deeply about which one I would choose if given a re-do. I chose A, but it was really close to going the other direction. For 6.8 years, my wife has been a SAH mom, even when we didn't have kids. She has always worked in a salon, but usually only one or two days a week, for a few hours -- that doesn't count as work. (as I've stated in arguments before (ugh, bad idea)) I never had a problem with it until money started to get tight. She now has a FT job at a hospital and works graveyard shifts, but makes double/triple what I make, and I have had to become the SAH dad. I've enjoyed both, but I think I would prefer that my wife stay home and raise my girls. She's much better at it than I am, and frankly, I'm a terrible teacher. Thankfully, this will only be temporary.
On the flip side, man, I would love to not work anymore. I have an uncle who is in his 70's and hasn't worked a day since he was mid 30's. His wife retired from QWEST as the Sr. Vice President, and is richer than God. (Hayward) They never had kids, and they live the freaking life. She's an absolute train-wreck, has no friends, has no family (that respects her), and will die lonely -- but oh, the times they had! I think I could handle having unlimited funds/time for the majority of my life while my wife worked.
I'm going to assume that you've never actually had the chance to do it. I thought the same way until it happened, and now have a bigger appreciation for what SAH parents do.

I don't think it's easy or anything like that. But I imagine it'd be enjoyable. When i lived in Provo, I used to volunteer at a bunch of schools. I looked forward to it, and I consider it a very good experience. But I also enjoy my job, and I enjoy going to school. There is no way to know which I'd like better without actually trying it first. But as long as I can continue with my studies, at least part time, I'd be satisfied. I'm very easy to please!
Not trying to be offensive or cut you down, but I'm very suspicious of any man that wants to spend a lot of time around other people's kids.
