Funny that I just got asked to be in a wedding as a groomsman.

With this checklist, I will find the perfect woman.

Congrats on making it to the head table, AArtaud.

....please do not let my boyfriend see this. I'd like to trick him just a little bit longer.

So only RED nail polish is verboten?

wow. Good thing I can carry on a decent conversation.

I just had my friend take this, and she scored a negative seven. That's a marriageable lady, right there.

Where's the rest of the chart?

Osteocephalic said, (238 days ago)

The reason I ask is that the maximum score possible, with no demerits and all the merits is 25, which is scored as "Poor." There must be more questions.

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (238 days ago)

Clearly that means that even the best possible wife is still a poor choice.

I think Combustible Monkey has it. As far as marrying up goes, according to this tasty pie chart of patriarchal prejudice.

I reckon I want a woman to be a whore in the bedroom and a scholar in the library.

What?

Uncanny MONCHICHI said, (238 days ago)

Also, "Religious" is 10 points.

Damn.

I mean... DAMN.

I ...I don't understand how to score it. That must make me an amazing wife-type.

ABoyNamedArt: You know, I've never even been invited to a friend's wedding as an adult until now. Apparently, I fail at the friend thing. I'm hoping my buddy will get the black tux out from his fiance since I could buy a tux. And a revolver. And a Fiat and roll deep.

What?

Complete booklet, since, as Osteocephalic points out, it's incomplete as is:

val: Does numeracy detract from your wifely total score? This old-fashioned stuff sux.

fuznotfuz said, (238 days ago)

So, a man gets twenty points if his wife has an orgasm and he is an ardent lover, but she only gets ten points if she "reacts with pleasure and delight to marital congress"?

I...I really don't know what to do with that scoring system. Honestly. What do I make of that?

Oom Mao Mao said, (238 days ago)

Come up with your own scoring system?

Salomea said, (238 days ago)

I get a 47-48. Darn. I am not superior.

fuznotfuz said, (238 days ago)

@AA: Clearly. But I wonder what the original scoring system is saying about men and women. Women are harder to please? Women think that men assign greater meaning to lovemaking than men think women do? Men don't honestly care about women's pleasure?

Salomea said, (238 days ago)

It means, if you have a husband who is actually really good at sex, AWESOME. However, if you have a wife who's into sex that's cool, but I mean, it's not like you NEED her to get off to get your own orgasm.

I didn't check--does the husband rubric ask if the guy "with pleasure and delight to marital congress"? If not, then it's the women who don't care about men's sexual pleasure, only whether they can bring 'em to orgasm, no?

nomi oh my said, (237 days ago)

@Salomea/fuz

yeah, I love how it's 20 points for the husband's bedroom proficiency. I mean, TWENTY POINTS. So he can be an insulting, arrogant shithead, leave his crap all over and interfere with your duties, but if he's good in bed- stick with it, lady, he's worth it!

Oom Mao Mao said, (237 days ago)

What? The patriarchy rigged the ratings?

Humph. At least they were talkin' 'bout sex back then. I sorta thought that pre-1962 everyone just did it in the dark. With most of their clothes on. And slept in separate single beds.

redbecca said, (236 days ago)

what if the husband puts the wife's cold feet on his body to warm them at night? I think that's points for him.

Oom Mao Mao said, (235 days ago)

redbecca: That man would be a saint.
