UGA Sophomore Writes 'How to Snag a Husband' Guide in Student Newspaper


For those who view four years of college as a race against the clock to find the perfect husband, you're in luck.

Amber Estes, a sophomore at University of Georgia, has put together a foolproof plan for undergraduate women looking to nab a prince charming to bankroll her ultimate Southern belle lifestyle, while still finding a way to graduate on time with their MRS degrees, in the university's independent student newspaper, Red and Black.

What does Estes recommend for what she said is "the thing that is most essential in securing our futures"?

For starters, enrolling at UGA is a no-brainer. That's where husband-hunters can find the most eligible Southern gentlemen who "dress in nothing but the frattiest clothes they can purchase, take hard classes that will inevitably lead to a high salary job and they love their mommas," she said in the article.

In her article, Estes said to spend time frequenting areas on campus with the most ambitious guys, "which directly correlates to how well they'll be able to provide for your future mini Mr. Perfects."

What do you wear to attract a man of this caliber? Estes said throwing on a form-fitting sorority-emblazoned "frocket" doesn't hurt. Also, she recommended looking good, but not too good. There's nothing more off-putting to a future spouse than someone who tries too hard.

Once your outfit is appropriate and you've handpicked the perfect location for snagging a spouse on campus, Estes said the key to luring him in is by using a little app on your phone - Instagram.

"Nothing spruces up some mediocre pics like a lighting adjustment and filter on Instagram," she said in the article. "Also make sure to take pictures with your pretty friends, but not ones that are pretty as you."
Estes said using Instagram is the lynchpin in your scheme, which should lead to "an influx of friend requests" and, later, dates, if done correctly.
Finally, Estes said acting like a lady on your dates is how to get him to consider putting a ring on it.

"A man won't get down on one knee for a woman who is overly willing to get down on both of hers," she said.:lachen:

Winning over his friends, encouraging him to focus on school, and making nice with his mom - all done in moderation - will help you to secure the rock you've been working so hard to achieve by graduation day, she said.
"Remember girls, the time is now to guarantee your future," she said. "Keep your eye on the handsome prize, stay focused and go get that MRS degree."

How to find that perfect husband in college

4fda68183c9eb.image.jpg


We have four years in college. Well, most of us at least. Only four short years to attain the thing that is most essential in securing our futures.

That’s right ladies, four years to find a husband. Every true woman knows how vital it is to find the right brilliant babe to father their children and replenish their bank accounts. A Southern belle is nothing but a pretty face and pearls without a man to eat her cooking and appreciate her cleaning.

So ladies, the clock is ticking and the hunnies are being taken at an alarmingly fast pace. Our expiration dates are fast approaching. To help you find that special someone, I’ve laid out step-by-step directions for how to secure your husband and consequentially, your future.

Step 1: Most of you have already have completed step one; you’re here at the University. Not only are we academically prestigious, we also have the finest selection of men the South has to offer. These gentlemen (at least the ones in your dating pool) dress in nothing but the frattiest clothes they can purchase, take hard classes that will inevitably lead to a high salary job and they love their mommas. What else could a girl ask for? Now all you have to do is pick out your perfect prince, and zero in for the kill.

Step 2: Spend your free time casually moseying around the law school, Ag Hill or Terry. This is where you’ll find the most ambitious guys, which directly correlates to how well they’ll be able to provide for you and your future mini Mr. Perfects. The trick here is to look flawless, seemingly without trying. Nothing screams desperate louder than a girl who is all dolled up in her nicest outfits lounging outside of Terry. Instead, throw on a nice fitting frocket (one that displays your letters loud and proud) and make sure you look your finest. Trust me, the fellows will come flocking.

Step 3: Instagram everything. The men will come up to you and flirt during your afternoons on campus, and soon you will be receiving an influx of friend requests. This step is crucial. These boys have only ever seen you in your I-look-good-but-I’m-not-trying attire; they have way higher standards for your going out pictures. Nothing spruces up some mediocre pics like a lighting adjustment and filter on Instagram. Also, make sure you take pictures with your pretty friends, but not ones that are prettier than you. That way the boys know you don’t hang around with uggos, but it’s also crystal clear that you’re the queen of the pack.

Step 4: On your first date, STAY CLASSY. A man won’t get down on one knee for a woman who is overly willing to get down on both of hers. You want him to see joint bank accounts in your future, not a joint cab ride home to his place. You don’t want to be marked down as another conquest the next morning, do you? Dress stylish but not skanky, and be coy but not overwhelming. Let your gent do most of the talking; this way you’ll get a better feel for if he could indeed be the one, and he’ll drive himself crazy wondering what you’re thinking. At the end of the night (after he’s paid the bill and opened all of your doors) leave him with a simple but enticing kiss. By this point, he doesn’t stand a chance.

Step 5: After he calls (and he will call) and there are several more dates, this studious stud will want to make it official. If not, he simply isn’t the one for you. You need a man who wants you to have a ring, not a fling. Once he does make you his girlfriend, the hard-to-get phase must end. Playing coy was fun, but coy does not a trophy wife make. This is the phase where you put this boy on lockdown. Ensure he desires nothing more than his dazzling girlfriend. Bake for his frat brothers, encourage him to do well on his tests, and impress his momma like it’s the last round of recruitment. On the flip side, make sure you’re not too much. Nothing drives away a golden gent more than a control freak.

Step 6: If you have flawlessly executed steps one through five, that Tiffany’s ring will undoubtedly be sitting pretty on your finger by the time graduation rolls around. Step number six is to simply say yes. Voila, congratulations future Mrs. Dr. Perfect.

This is your chance to live happily every after. Encourage your man to go wherever the money is, and then stay by his side regardless of any circumstance. Pretty soon, you’ll be sipping sweet tea by the pool at the country club while some babysitter watches after Junior and Georgia Ann.

Remember girls, the time is now to guarantee your future. Keep your eye on the handsome prize, stay focused and go get that MRS degree.

SEC = South Eastern Conference, i think.

I think it has to do with the college sports categories. Like Big 10. And SWAC and MEAC.

I think she is serious. She has to pretend she's joking because that's the "southern belle way." But I've met enough girls from UGA, UNC, UA, Auburn, etc. to believe that she means it.

I figured she was serious. I pretty much agree with her.
 
is she married? did she marry well? i need receipts before i take that advice.

i do think its good that she's telling young ladies not be easy. that's important for life in general not just when trying to snag a man.

She's only a Sophomore, but I can testify to basically following those steps. I met DH my Jr year and was engaged 2 months after graduation.
 
I have two friends that went to UGA they said those white girls are serious about marriage. One of them told me that she went to one of her white classmates house for a project and the girl mom was drilling her about a date she had with a guy whose family is paid. My friend said the interaction was so weird and the mom was being pushy asking if the guy seemed serious about dating her.
 
i wish conversations around waiting to become intimate weren't centered around "he won't respect you" (but igss if you want the type of man who basis his respect on you on how quickly you have sex with him by all means, go ahead).

i was :lachen: when a man was trying to explain to me why he doesn't respect a woman if she has sex with him on the first date. mostly because he was trying to date me and i told him i have no patience for sexist BS. i entertained it, let him get his piece out, and then never talked to him again. but to hear him say it, he is just this uncontrollable sack of hormones that cannot say no to sex so she has to do it for him. thanks for the heads up.
 
Yea, it's the South Eastern Conference. We play Georgia. I've met the type. :look: The sorority chicks in all the schools have a similar mentally...
 
I have a feeling that she is serious, but also loathes this southern belle tradition. Kinda like saying ....I see what you girls do and let me tell the boys too so they'll know your game.
 
why would she not be serious? what exactly is wrong with the aticle that anyone would think it's a joke with all the threads pretty much saying the same thing around here.

Anyway Kismett I agree.

Exactly... Who cares about waiting because you aren't ready or you haven't figured out where you want things to go, your #1 priority is to get and stay in his good graces. :spinning:

After I read this (especially the bolded):
