I was about to go on my male-feminist rant about "traditional" women, but then I took a look at my own life. My wife is a stay-home mom. She cooks, sews and takes care of the house and kids. She dresses conservatively, though not in dresses. She is well spoken and tends to be on the quiet side.

I am aboslutely, completely in love with her.

...but not because she fits the traditional mold. I love her because of who she is. I don't care about the "traditional" aspects of her personality. I love her heart, her mind, her body and her bearing.

She could also be described as "nontraditional." She towers over her husband (she's 6' and I'm 5'7") She is well-educated, with three completely unrelated degrees. She listens to punk rock (as well as other obnoxious music). She can shoot a pistol, play a sax and repair drywall. She lifts weights. She doesn't wear make-up.

So I would encourage the original poster to expand his horizons.
