I am looking for a woman who can stay at home, take care of the kids, do all the household work and keep food ready for me when I come home after a long day at work.

I'm not asking for too much, am I?
Even though you were joking, there are still women (even here in America) who would love to be a "traditional" housewife and mother. My sister (and other ladies I've known) always dreamed of filling the role of housewife and being able to home school her children.

Offensive oriented with experience in drush strategy, good at micro using the Saracen civilization, does not complain when teammates ask to swing gold and stone in the late-game.

I visited a dating site for a few days. I put in my profile: if you're looking for a virtuous housewife keep on looking!
I'm just trying to look to G-d

I can see why people might have trouble with Proverbs 31

She had a bunch of slaves. Here men want to play video games and you can work and be the perfect housewife. My ex: oh his new wife is such a virtuous housewife. Ehm yeah well she doesn't have to work because you finally took a job. Wow. If I have nothing to do I turn into a cleaner too out of pure boredom.

She has to like me for me. So, she would be a woman that actually likes Israel (my name). Also, she should respect me greatly as-well.

Should've been first but I'll scream it at the top of my lungs.. no matter how obvious it is... a woman who is devoted to G-d. I mean full blown 100% all out for G-d. I mean she reads her bible, prays, and doesn't mind talking about G-d. She will give up all things of the world... movies, money, nice clothes, all relationships, etc. all for G-d. This also means she is not liberally leaning because it's crystal clear that the liberal ideology supports unG-dly things such as homosexuality and abortion. Also, feminism stems from that and feminism promotes the idea that men shouldn't lead their families and that's exactly what G-d wants. Scripture clearly states that women are to look to the home as shown in Proverbs 31 and feminism and liberalism for that matter would be against that.

A woman that is in agreement with the above things is probably all any man needs really. If she loves and respects a man for who he is... and isn't infected by liberalism or feminism and instead is all out for G-d.. that's all any man needs really.

It be nice if she were clean too lol
Good luck with finding Miss Perfect. She sounds a little boring.

For this particular member the only advise I would give him is to pray to God about a mate.

What kind of qualities do men consider when they are first attracted to a woman? What kind of personality do you look for? If you say you want a woman whom is caring, do you expect her to be there to find creative ways to help you through your struggle or unless you've asked her to, then you welcome her ideas?
If you figure out what men are supposed to be looking for, please let me know. I may have been looking for the wrong thing.

I agree when God teaches you about growing into a man a husband and let's you know who your future spouse is your focus will be to love God and her as God had been teaching me about my future spouse I m soo much more focused on loving him and but putting God first when God shows u your spouse this what happens its not about us shes not miss perfect. Forgive women re: feminism you need to love your wife . whenever God is involved its about laying down our lives for others

What I said wasn't miss perfect. It's the basics of a G-dly woman. She should be against what's sinful, things like homosexuality and abortion are sinful. It's crystal clear husbands are to be the heads of their wives. This isn't perfection.

Why shouldn't I advise her about Proverbs 31 and staying away from an ideology that promotes sin? Men, Christian men, look for women who separate themselves from those sinful ideas.

I'm not sure it's even useful to know what "most" men look for in a woman. After all, you're not going to date "most" men...nor will you marry "most" men. Additionally, I think it's silly to try to shape oneself to fit some "most."

Your best bet is to become the woman that God is calling you to be. Don't worry about pleasing men. Worry about pleasing God. You may or may not marry. It's your relationship with God that is going to be the most significant in your lifetime.

And really, it's a win-win. If you build a strong relationship with God and never marry...no worries, you're tight with God. If you build a strong relationship with God and marry...no worries, your strong relationship with God will only make you a better wife.

No need to advise any female about anything.

Just let God be in charge of everything.

God will let everyone, male and female, know what he wants and does not want them to do.

God knows whether or not you will find a mate.

I can speak only for myself, and I'm not even sure I can answer fairly. I have not started dating since my marriage ended, so most of my answer, particularly about personality, would describe what my ex wasn't.

What will I look for when the time comes to look? Aside from externals (yes they do matter, no they aren't the final arbiter), of course, she must believe in Jesus. I think that owning responsibility for wrongdoing would be a very significant positive trait, as would evidence of and desire for growth in her Christian walk. I would want to see that she takes disappointments from others to the Lord. I'd want to see good fruit (of the Spirit) in her life. Openness to communicating and working through issues would be important. She must understand biblical forgiveness, because I will fail at times, as will she.

JustViv... is there some context behind this question?

Galatians 6:2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of counsel (in another translation counsel is replaced with advice), but with many advisers they succeed.

As much as I agree with a lot of what you said, I'm sure we can give each other G-dly advice. She also implicitly asked for advice in her op.
