Uga Sophomore Writes 'how To Snag A Husband' Guide In Student Newspaper

I think that finding a husband in college is a good idea. It makes more sense than turning 30 and then starting to look anyway.
 
:lol: umm yeah, this is EXACTLY how these conversations go. Except they're serious.
I know lots of girls who ADAMANTLY talk about there MRS degree and scheme. I ain't mad, do you boo boo, do you.
 
Yeah most of the (white) girls at my college were there for their MRS degree. And many got it too. Its not really a secret. You aim to get in the best sororities, so you can find the guys who the best fraternities and so on. There's definitely a certain mindset among upper middle class-upper income white folks that puts a priority on marraige.

Knew a coworker that would go to the engineering schools to do just that. She hooked a man with the skills and became a secretary then retired at 27

Not mad at them. It is the smart way to go

I don't have many regrets in my life. But I do wish I would've focused more on finding a husband when I was in my late teens and early twenties. I had a chance to go to an engineering college out of high school, which used to be all male, but had just started accepting women students. Sometimes I think maybe I should chosen that college, I would've gone the engineering route and looked for a husband there. Oh well.
 
Went to an SEC school (Florida) and I can't knock the hustle of those white sorority girls...they were serious. I shoulda been asking for husband pointers during the socials we would have with them versus teaching them how to stroll LOL
 
Hard to believe, but there is some truth to the Mrs Degree down south. I saw it growing up.

My daughter did not grow up down south but goes to an SEC and says that she hears this a lot.

We also have a lot of conversations about how certain guys will date outside of their race but when they become upper class men, they go back to what is expected by their families for what ever reason.
 
why is it seemingly not possible to be marriage minded and actively looking for marriage without being calculated, overt, and thirsty even? this is definitely one of those perspectives that is focused on the wedding and not the marriage. but i guess if all youre interested in is the money, the unpredictability of your future happiness is irrelevant.

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.

I think that most men assume that if it easy or them then it was easy for a lot of other guys and will be easy for more in future. It is actually a fairly reasonable assumption. Obviously men don't respect women that are easy to get in bed. You can call it sexism, but it makes sennse considering the differences between the sexes.
 
It was a joke.:look:

"As I was writing this piece, I expected that people would instantly identify it as satire," she wrote. "Judging by the influx of nasty emails, comments, and social media messages, I was sorely mistaken."

Estes said she was targeting those "who believe that their sole purpose in life is to find a husband," writing that they are holding back women who choose to focus on career.:lol:

She said she's managed to "laugh off the viral ridicule."

Her denouement makes it clear she hasn't lost her sense of humor.

"Be on the lookout for my next column, 'How to trap a man by saying you're pregnant.'"

"Just kidding."

strongly disagree. it is sexist and hypocritical/ridiculous. don't try to have sex right away if you don't want a woman to have sex with you right away. duh. :rolleyes:

WOW. I find this whole post extremely interesting. Tell me more. I've not heard about this type of thing and I went to state university.

Now I've heard about this kind of thing at Christian colleges.

We go hard on these Innanets

But men do want a woman to have sex with them right away. They just don't want to marry women who have sex with men easily. :look: I understand how you feel about it on principle, but the reality is what it is.

misogynistic men, yes. i don't believe in excusing sexist behavior.
 
Women are still going to college just to get husbands? Wow, I need to get out more.

I dunno. I'm in my early twenties about to graduate and I have no job. I can't even daydream about a husband right now lol. But it's weird. My father (Southern) and my brother (who has Southern intentions lol) are pressuring me to get married and have kids. It's like, "Ok you had your fun and got your "degree" now it's time to find someone to take care of you." Southerners don't play around!

i'm 22, 2 years out of college & of the age of most college grads. and the idea of getting married now feels WAYYY too soon. i loved my college boyfriend, he was a great man, but he was NOT the man i should be spending the rest of my life with. and if i was focused on getting the ring from him, i would probably be divorced by now.
