i read the article.

wrote :
suggests that women seeking a partner consider what she calls their “marriage musts”, by which she means a set of criteria that define the generic prospective partner. She is not talking about a husband's height or sex appeal, but his values, his lifestyle choices, his qualities.
well, duh. most quality women look for those things! it's the men who insist we are all judging them on height and what they look like. possibly because most men judge women on appearance first themselves.

an arranged marriage it just a new term for matchmaker.

lather, rinse, repeat
