It's not that #2 is wifey material, it's more like she's just the best option there. Yeah, I don't want a woman who stays at home with her parents at 30, but nowadays it's a bit more understandable then let's say, 10 years ago. Things like having a higher education and a good degree, being independent, and having a great job are great traits, so don't get me wrong; but when looking for a LIFE partner, finding someone who you click with personality-wise, have a lot of commonality with, is drama free, and is decent looking take higher priority, and most men will make concessions on the first set of traits in favor of the second set, well to a certain extent at least. I mean, even if we click heavy I won't wife a woman if she's a total bum with no ambition, but having a $20 an hour job is something I can compromise on easy, and shows she has some ambition and work ethic. She may stay at home, but at least her housing situation seems somewhat stable(provided her parents own the house); the other women lack that in one or more area's( woman #3 with her career, woman #4 financially, woman #1 with her kid's father), and while I can work through a tough situation with someone if I like them, it's not ideal, and with woman #1, there's probably no solution in sight with her baby father, so that put's her far behind the other woman in terms of desirability(it's almost a deal breaker for me). All of this could change though depending on each one's personality though( which is extremely important), and while I said having a higher education isn't that high on the priority list, a higher education heavily correlates with intelligence (which is a trait most decent men put a lot of emphasis on), so it's not like a woman should say "fukk a degree" if they want to pull a man they want either.
