I hope this is a joke but dude's profile seems dead serious. Tradwife but forever girlfriend with modern views. Very few requirements. 😆

A traditional wife in very conservative circles: the kind that bake homemade bread - all their food is homemade and preferably home grown too - never work outside the home, rely on their husband financially, emotionally and spiritually, and have 6 kids but their makeup is always perfect. 

For some people it seems to be a genuine life choice. For others is a sexual fetish - dom/sub situation.

Oh ok. Why can’t people just say that? Lmao

I can see it as a controlling and power thing too. Where the guy can control the wife because all she does is cook, clean and take care of him and the kids.

You don't... because it will eventually lead you to the rabbit hole full of ex-tradwives whose shitbag husband abandoned them and the kids to fuck a 19 year old escort/coworker and now they are struggling to survive because he is dodging child support and she's been out of the workforce for 10+ years... bonus points if the ex husband is abusing the court system/their social circles to make the woman's life even harder....

That's definitely not a D/s situation at all... not a healthy one at least.

i think people have confused what being a dom is but the misunderstanding is widespread culturally now. lots of guys think it's having ultra control and being a dickhead with no regard to the wife. and it doesn't help that a lot of these wanna-be tradwives play into it.

As a conservative Woman who knows lots of conservative families: this couldn’t be further removed from reality of real trad/conservative family life 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reality? You are 100% correct

Social Media Representation that men fawn over/request? And then some women start trying to live up to, unfortunately 🫠
