Author Woggle Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Hey nothing wrong with dating a Stepford wife. Wish there was a male equivalent. What's worse, Stepford wives or Pod people? There are but they get cheated on with challenging men.
Author Woggle Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 It's not just a Jersey thing. Out state has one of the top ten lowest divorce rates in the nation. Look it up. I will defend NJ any chance I get.
serial muse Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Am I really the only one who knows people like this? Looks that way. I wonder how many times you're going to ask the same question. You always, always, always get the same answer, but you keep asking this question and then act surprised every time you get an answer that contradicts this worldview. I have never heard any female friend or relative of mine call someone happily married a Stepford wife. Never. Not once. Ever. It's just ridiculous at this point. Edited to add: In case there is any doubt, I am talking about "nice" women who don't cheat on their husbands and love them and treat them well. Just felt compelled to make sure I don't get misunderstood here. Edited September 19, 2011 by serial muse
Author Woggle Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 I post threads inspired by things I see in life and this is what I see and what my friends talk about.
AHardDaysNight Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I had to look up what this meant. I don't see anything wrong with this. In fact, this is the kind of girl I am looking for, and every man should be looking for. She is perfect!
LittleTiger Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yes, Woggle. :lmao: Mme. C you are wicked!!!
LittleTiger Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 That was just a joke right? Of course it was a joke Woggle!
Citizen Erased Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 How very convenient that his ex happened to call her a stepford wife. You sure do like to make threads about those!
whichwayisup Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Am I really the only one who knows people like this? I don't know one single person who has ever said stepford wife. To me, anyway. I'm a believer, what you put out there is what you get back..And, if one is negative, it attracts that same back into your (general you) life. Thinking this stuff, Wogs, is mindless and pointless. All it does is piss you off, work you up and give you doubts. Another thing I don't get, your friends, (if they know you well) should be steering certain information away from you so they don't set you off. It's like if a friend of mine quit smoking, i wouldn't DARE smoke around her, or have cigarette conversations with her.. You need to tell your friends that certain subjects are taboo and not to discuss them with you..
D-Lish Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Nice women aren't Stepford wive's. When I think of a stepford wife, I think of a woman bowing to her H's demands and serving his needs without having an opinion of her own. Whether she's happy, sad, displeased, miserable, she'll never break the phoney demeanor. My aunt is like this.
thatone Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Am I really the only one who knows people like this? nope. there are lots of people for which... strong/independent = selfish/entitled it's kinda like the current political climate. one side goes batsh*t crazy and in so doing manages to push the debate way off center. and in the dating world, terrible people have managed to push their habits to be considered the norm, simply because there are so many terrible people out there.
Mme. Chaucer Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Now, let me remove your boots for you. First, I shall thoroughly cleanse them with my tongue.
torn_curtain Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Am I really the only one who knows people like this? Yes... I've never heard ANYONE call a good woman a Stepford Wife. Maybe you need to move out of Jersey. To be perfectly honest you seem to hang out with trashy people.
AHardDaysNight Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Can someone please explain to me what is bad about having a woman who cares about her husband's needs? Surely, not having an opinion of her own is bad, but I fail to understand what is bad about a Stepford wife?
ThsAmericanLife Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 A close friend of mine has a great new girlfriend. It is good to see another man finally find real love and I think she came from the same factory my wife came from because she is that good. His ex who he broke up with because she treated him like crap got wind of it and called and started ripping into him for leaving a strong and independent woman like her for a stupid little stepford wife. My mother says the same about my wife. Why are women who actually know how to treat a man well considered to be stepford wives? Is it true or are some just jealous that these women know how to have a healthy relationship? Well, I guess you'd hate living at "Lake Woebegon"... Where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average..." Kidding aside... was going to ask though... what does being strong and independent have to do with a healthy relationship or knowing how to treat a man well? Where I come from, those qualities are not mutually exclusive.

She is one of those women who think that being strong and independent means that you treat a man worse than you would a roach and then pat yourself on the back for not being a doormat.
TheBigQuestion Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yes... I've never heard ANYONE call a good woman a Stepford Wife. Maybe you need to move out of Jersey. To be perfectly honest you seem to hang out with trashy people. Spoken like a true idiot who has never lived here and watches too much TV. FWIW, I've never heard anyone call anyone a "stepford wife" around here either.
Author Woggle Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Spoken like a true idiot who has never lived here and watches too much TV. I wish people could see what Jersey is really like because there are some very nice places. Even the Jersey Shore is very little like the show of the same name.

Your ex and your mother weren't what I'd consider strong and independent women. If anything they were terribly insecure and vindictive. Strong and independent means functioning on your own while not needing a man to take care of you all the time. The opposite of clingy and insecure.
Hot Chick Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Are they even living together? That's odd she would refer to her as a Stepford "wife" when they're not even married.
Author Woggle Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Are they even living together? That's odd she would refer to her as a Stepford "wife" when they're not even married. They aren't living together yet but considering it.
TheBigQuestion Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I wish people could see what Jersey is really like because there are some very nice places. Even the Jersey Shore is very little like the show of the same name. Agreed. That would be like me saying everyone from Boston is a low-class violent thug just because I watched Good Will Hunting and The Departed.
carhill Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Wogs, I'm going to try on my MC hat and ask you what are you hearing from us, the respondents to your thread? Part of asking a question is being open to and accepting of the possibilities, even if outside of one's normal path and comfort zone. This doesn't mean those possibilities have to rule you, rather be considered as meaningful potentials. Do you see any meaningful potentials here; paths which appear healthy to you? Is it true or are some just jealous that these women know how to have a healthy relationship? Examining the women you personally know whom have made or inferred such comments, what would you say? Myself, I see envy. Coveting. Frustration.
