What To Look For In A Wife

Note: This thread was inspired by LifeMathMoney

In America from 1970 - 2020, the divorce rate has been 50%.

If you get married you are a coin toss away from catastrophe.
As such you must be very careful in choosing which woman to marry.

There are few decisions that can irreversibly change the course of your life; this is one of them.
There is no surefire way to guarantee the woman you marry will be a good wife, but there are certain metrics to screen for that shift the odds in your favor.
The key metrics are:
-Partner Count
-Male Relative Presence
-Agreeableness
-Conscientiousness
-Intelligence (IQ)
PARTNER COUNT:

If a woman has a high number of previous sexual partners, the probability of her divorcing her husband is high.

If a woman has a low number of previous sexual partners, the probability of her divorcing her husband is low.
The reason is that as a woman accrues additional partners, their capacity to pairbond with a current partner diminishes.

The more men she has been with before you, the less prone she will be to becoming emotionally attached to you.
To minimize the probability of divorce, marry a woman who has had as few partners before you as possible; ideally zero.
MALE RELATIVE PRESENCE:

When selecting a bride, note how she relates to her father and her brother(s).
Women who get a long well with their father tend to make good wives, women get get along badly with their father tend to make bad wives.

The same could be said of how women get along with their brothers.
Male Relative Presence *correlates negatively* with Partner Count.

Women who are raised with their father present tend to have fewer sexual partners throughout their lifetime than women who are raised fatherless.
It also seems to be the case that women raised with at least 1 older brother present have fewer sexual partners throughout their lifetime than women who have no brothers (though the evidence for this is not concrete).
There are various explanations as to why Male Relative Presence correlates negatively with Partner Count.
One is that in our evolutionary past, women with no male relatives present were desperate to find a man (sexual partner) since they'd be in desperate need of a man's resources...
...A woman with a father/brother present can get resources from him, but a woman who is fatherless and brotherless does not have this option, so she is desperate to find a boyfriend who she can get resources from.
Another explanation is that when a woman does have male relatives present, they are likely to pressure any sexual partner (boyfriend) she has to marry her, or to at least not outright abandon her...
...Over the course of a lifetime, this would keep her total number of sexual partners down.
The actionable information is this: if a potential bride was raised fatherless or has a very bad relationship with her father, take that as a bad sign.

If she was raised with her father around and has a relationship with him that is at least decent, take that as a good sign.
AGREEABLNESS:

A woman who ranks high on Agreeableness is likely to be a good wife, a woman who ranks low on Agreeableness is likely to be a bad wife.

Highly agreeable people tend towards submissiveness rather than dominance, which is what you want in a wife.
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS:

A woman who ranks high on Conscientiousness is likely to be a good wife, while a woman who ranks low on Conscientiousness is likely to be a bad wife.

Don't marry a lazy woman; such women make annoying wives and abysmal mothers.
INTELLIGENCE:

Marry a high IQ woman, not a low IQ woman.

Why?

This maximizes the probability of your children getting the genetics to have high IQs.

IQ is the single best predictor of long term life success; give your children the best shot at life possible.
TLDR:

Good Woman:
-Low Partner Count
-Yes, Male Relative Presence
-High Agreeableness
-High Conscientiousness
-High IQ

Bad Woman:
-High Partner Count
-No, Male Relative Presence
-Low Agreeableness
-Low Conscientiousness
-Low IQ
