Calling All Men!
So here’s a question for all you men out there.. and please think this through before you respond.
* If you were to choose the most important trait that you would want in a wife, something that MUST be there.. what would it be? (No more than 3 things please.. so pick your top 3).
* Also, what’s the one thing that you do NOT want in your wife? The one thing that would be the deal breaker for you.. (Only one thing please.)

1. She has to be smart. I am an intellectual and would like to have someone I can converse with on a high level!
2. She has to be feminine. What I mean by this is the shyness, the modesty, etc you would find in most females.
3. She has to believe in God. To me, religion is an important trait. The level and degree of religiousness has to be moderate, and follows a smart (refer to point 1) ideology.
A point that should never be in a wife:
* Extreme stubbornness.

1) Galb Abyah, meaning kind heart no ill will towards others.
2) Smart & Funny girl, its like a combination of both.
3) Can handle herself.
A breaking point for me is a materialistic women and someone who doesn’t compromise, relationship is about two people working together.

1) Accomplished.
2) Independent.
3) Sense of humour/Child at heart.
Being religous would be a deal breaker for me. Not that I view faith as a bad thing, it’s just something that wouldn’t mesh well with my personality.

Humm. She has to have a sense of religion, Smart, and Funny. Deal breaker would be 7anaanah and ghabeyah/sa67eyah. ya3nee a nag and stupid/shallow

In no particular order:
1- She must have an angelic face specially in the early morning when I wake up and get ready to go to work and she looks at me with her sleepy eyes!
2- She must make me feel that I am the most handsome man in the world!
3- She must be a romantic dreamer who would enjoy us sharing romantic fantasies and coming up with wild ones for the fun of it!
The one thing that will be the deal breaker most probably is to find out that she committed adultery and didn’t wait for me

MSB said:
chikapappi/fadidra: oh good, i’m not the only curious one out there!
N: nice.. that’s a good combination there! personally i think #3 automatically brings in other traits. ya3ney wa7da etkhaf Rabha, would be faithful, loyal, a good mother and a good wife, etc.. (or should anyway!)
Vagabond: what about the one bad trait that would make u run in the other direction?
Marzouq: i definitely agree on the breaking point.. lil asaf there r a lot of materialist people out there today! and compromise is a big one!! without that, a relationship will never work in my opinion.
Cowardice: interesting.. u mean not religious at all or just not extreme?
boz: hahaha… a lot of girls do nag, dont they?

MSB said:
Hopeless Poet: you’re definitely a hopesless poet! hehe … angelic face? 9a3ba shway.. especially that u wont know till it’s too late!

Vagabond said:
Ahh didn’t see the last part. Basically then anything that goes against my three most desirable traits I guess.
December 12, 2007 at 8:55 am
Hopeless Poet said:
Why until it’s too late? I believe if she can look too good with no make up on then she definitely will look too good when she just wakes up
and there’s a milcha period you know and I will probably ask her to sleep for few hours and I will check her face when she wakes up

MSB said:
Vagabond:
ehehe ok..thanks!
Hopeless Poet: ummm… what if she looks angelic but when she’s sleeping her mouth ends up open with drool coming out one end??

A brain, and a pretty functional one for that matter.
and if she doesn’t like traveling and stuff, its a no go.

Hopeless Poet:
Eyad:: you’re not the first guy whose made a comment like that (about traveling)… i was shocked to find out that my boss’s wife HATES traveling and he has a hard time taking her anywhere. that concept is totally foreign to me!

Some people hate to leave their seats and their machboos, and would do the same things over and over again, I’de rather be stabbed in me eye.

Not religous at at all, because it won’t be fair for her. Why shoud she end up with someone who doesn’t share the same attitude towards face that she does.

Hitman1 said:
Guys who answered this, you’re all liars. Who are you fooling?
Here is a courageous answer:
1) Cup Size C and up
2) White skin
3) Tall
One thing I have no toleration for…Fat… sorry big girls… but I just cannot have a fat wife.
December 12, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Cowardice is in said:
Hitman1 how is that a “courageous” answer? It’s just shows how crass you come off. Looks are important, and I don’t recall any of the guys mentioning that looks arn’t important. MSB asked us the most important qualaties when it comes to marraige: breasts will sag, skin will wrinkle, and people are known to shrink with age. You have no toleration for fat? This is the male mind set that I find hilarious, that thinking you’re in a position to scrutinize how a woman might look. You may not tolerate fat women, but those women might not tolerate your small mindedness.

i always thought i wanted a successful, independent, career-oriented woman for my partner. good looks and manners and a similar mind-set didn’t hurt either. then i met a women who had no hair, no eyelashes, and no breasts. that’s when i learned that a person is more than the sum of their (body) parts. marriage is just a contract… but love, partner, soulmate… that can’t be summed up in three or three hundred traits. her name was Sarah (the H was very important!) and in three weeks i will lose her all over again for the eighth time.

Eyad said:
Oy, no one would get married to some one they are not physically attracted to, no one would say I love ugly women, the only deference is that beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder
and my idea of hot and sexy and deferent than some one Else’s hot and sexy, some don’t like big women, some do, some don’t like skinny women (like my self) and some do.
OK I’ll get flamed for this but its funny, all women look the same when the lights are off, there for beauty is just a flick of a switch away.
OK, I’m kidding.

ammaro.com said:
she needs to be like, SUPER rich, not afraid to share and give money to her husband, and like, total gorgeous
and she has to NOT be ugly.
:p
ok ok… wait wait… thats like the kind of girl we cant get. so lets think something reasonable:
rational and 3agla; ie, mature
able to handle/take care of herself
intelligent, or semi intelligent at least :p
should not be stubborn, or ill kill the #$#$^!@

Cowardice
So let me get this straight… for you, as long as your future (or current) wife is Accomplished, Independent, and have a Sense of humor, then it’s okay for her to be Short, Fat, AND Flat chested?
I envy you brother… you’re such a great smart man with such an open big mind that knows how to select the right woman to live with while we “small” mindedness people settle for the beautiful, tall, thin, and curvy girls.

MSB said:
Eyad: ouch.. while i do love to travel and am not a big fan of a boring routine, i do love my eyes a lot too.. so i’m not sure i’d want to be stabbed! but u go ahead and feel free
Ms. D: i think looks grab a guy’s attention.. but it wont keep him around for long if there’s nothing else to sustain his interest.
Cowardice: fair enough..
Hitman:
thanks for the honesty. you know, it seemed to me that the majority of kuwaiti guys liked ‘bigger’ girls.. good to see some out there who prefer them ‘healthier’ (yes yes i’m being PC about this!)
Cowardice: you were honest about not wanting someone who is religious at all, Hitman was being honest about his preference. whether others agree with it or not, each person is entitled to their opinion. it doesn’t make them small minded.
Judy:
ya bent el nas, i’m not a guy o i hate nagging too!!
clumsy: wow.. i dont know what to say except i’m sorry u had to go through something like this.. yet i’m happy u met someone who was so great that u still remember her fondly so long afterwards. we should be so lucky to have encountered someone like that in our lives :/

MSB said:
Eyad: hahahah.. u have a death wish, dont you?
well, i think there are times where someone’s physical attractiveness increases once u get to know them and see how wonderful of a person they are..
ammaro: hmm… ur already married!! and i dont dare to ask which of these traits u went for!
Eyad:
ashwa, men turned on themselves.. no female intervention required.

Fonzy said:
1. be a friend before being a wife
2. being honest
3. knowing that marriage involves two people but it is one life
one thing i wont accept:
1. being secretive
December 26, 2007 at 3:20 pm
MSB said:
Fonzy: i definitely agree on the one thing u wont accept.. that’s one of the fatal flaws in any relationship, especially a marriage.. this could lead to lack of trust and once the trust is gone, everything else goes downhill from there!
