    After quite a while searching I have unable to find todays equivalent of a 1950s housewife.

    Dublin is swarming with 'ladettes'. Is there something Im missing.

    I know this post sounds like a bit of a pee wee take, but its genuine question.

    My own vital statistics: Dublin, working, 25. Mr average u might say.

    QFT. All the men out there these days are lady boys. Metrosexuals or Nerds. Take your pick.

    Add 'male chauvinist' to that list, you'll be inundated with offers from 50's housewives

    What you're asking is where can you buy a slave.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Im not looking for a housewife from the 1950s, but todays equivalent. Judging from the above posts, and lack of suggestions, there would appears to be a gap in knowledge of the whereabouts of said group

    No, not at all. The yokes that parade themselves round town on a typical night arent something that I potentially would want to spend the rest of my life with.

    Slaves worked for nowt. I presume this lad will give an allowance.

    'Kept woman' is the term iirc.

    Can't blame ya though OP, all you're looking for is a bitta de dinner on de table, and for your missus to have less alcohol related injuries than you do. I hear that! :p

    God i hate to rise to the bait.

    But god bless the twenty first century, my husband lets me out to work as long as i have his dinner ready in the evening and warm his socks before he puts them on, he allows me to have a little cleaning job to buy my own beauty things.:rolleyes:
    I just wanna be a little housewife like my mamma and her mamma before her, a career, laws no that be for the men folk.
    I dare you to post this in the ladies lounge.

    Yep. I'm heading to Munich in the summer.

    Tell me, those of you who search for the romantic, why do you always look in pubs and nightclubs? People (especially us men) only go to nightclubs for one reason, and it's not a meaningful relationship.

    I agree, and the initial comment seemed to think there was something wrong with the nerdy type. Going out in football shirt from 12 in the day, getting rat-arsed and building up a nice red face during the course of it doesn't constitute anything manly. Bit of a rant and slightly off the point but I find way too many girls, strangely, find this attractive or amusing.
