A comic from January 23rd, 1923 depicting the different types of wives to choose from as a young man.

They missed the melancholy.

Lot of hanging around in graveyards, consulting mediums, wandering the mood in the rain, and sitting in a gloomy room writing or reading.

That's the kind of wife I'd be.

Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

Benjamin Franklin in his letter, "Advice to a Friend On Choosing a Mistress."

That's how I read the posture differences between the husband and wife in each frame. No matter the wife, the husband always looks unhappy.

all that to say that the sex is better with older women.

In these times the guy was the only one working all day to pay for the lifestyle.

I tend to disagree. I for one can tell a person's age primarily by their necks. There's a reason scarfs are so popular among over-40s. For the face, there's make-up and botox.

It's a 6000 year old tradition.

He looks ragged, but we've all seen the needy entitlement of that generation in an office environment, and I'm just not buying it.

I'm down for all of these except "always cheerful". There is such a thing as toxic positivity, and christ it's draining.

I've had some mix of QuietHomeGirl+Industrious which was great, but we didn't always have a lot to talk about. I've had Butterfly+SeriousAndClever and I just could not keep up.

I myself am Industrious (that's my only defining characteristic here). I think HomeGirl+Tomboy could be a fun one.
