Observation from olden days of men seeking women

I came across this treasure of wisdom from over 250 years ago regarding men and their approach to finding a wife, and thought it was worth sharing with you:

Old Batchelor would have a Wife that's wise,
Fair, rich, and young, a Maiden for his Bed;
Not proud, nor churlish, but of faultless size;
A Country Houswife in the City bred.
He's a nice Fool, and long in vain hath staid;
He should bespeak her, there's none ready made. 

— Benjamin Franklin, 1733
