    Also, wonder if she meant alcoholics.

    Or she thinks it’s still 1970 and someone can have a reasonable work-life balance while still providing “emotionally and physically” for a family as the sole breadwinner.

      Considering she’s moving for her job, she probably does not want the guy to be the sole breadwinner, and that’s also why “workaholic” is a problem. She’s not fully aligned with the conservative ideology here, because she seems to want the God and family bits but not the paternalistic-power-structure-with-one-man-at-the-top bit. Meanwhile, the guys she’s trying to date probably emphasize that last part and are looking for a conservative wife who stays home with the kids all day.

        If even half of religious conservatives could remove their heads from their own buttholes for two seconds and realize that the only thing genuinely linking G-O-D and G-O-P is propaganda the US would be in a much better place.

          Nah, Christianity is an inherently patriarchal and heirarchal structure. Of course it attracts and reinforces the central-male-authority demographic.
