A TRADITIONAL girl

22 comments

My kind of girl here. What these people wanting 'traditional' seem to really want is 'useless trophy.'

I've met and am related to traditional girls .... you don't mess with them because even when they look pretty, petite and weak, they're also able to throw a punch like a man, and beat the crap out of you if you cross them. Most traditional indigenous people have rough lives while also knowing how to live and survive on the land. You don't want to mess with them.
- Tough natives is redundant.
  
  The Jims are such fucking beauties
- Like how some of the strongest people in the world just look like normal folks that you'd see down at the local gas station. Practical muscles at rest often are not very showy, but will absolutely fuck you up.
  
  I knew a guy who looked like a fat slob but was employed as a groundskeeper. Hands like stone, a grip that could crush an unopened can of beer, and he could pick up a hundred pounds like it was nothing.
  If I didn’t know any better I’d have thought he was a troll.
- You just described a Mississippi girl. They can strap on a ball gown, pistol belt, tool belt, whatever, and rock out, with makeup.

Ngl, that works for me

What are those newfangled things on your shirt? I see kids wearing them all the time now. They look weak, and silly!
Leather lacing was good enough for my dad, and it's good enough for me. This new shirt bling thing is just a fad; it'll never catch on.
- Oh look at you with your fancy tanned leather. Too good for pelts are you?
  
  Oh, you're one of those kids who hiked north and needs clothes now?
  The savannah was good enough for us for millions of years, it's good enough for us now.

I need a woman with a tattooed chin who can clean a whale carcass. And that's why you will NEVER take Greenland.
Actually I might invade Nunavut.
- That's hot ngl

Grog want wife help hunt, help make hut, help find fruit. Grog not want wife no good at this.
- Grog wise. Grog know what is good.

This reminds me of my wife! The dating profile picture that got me interested was very similar to this one. Instead of a drumstick, she was biting a deer tongue she had taken from her first solo hunt. Friday marks our ten year anniversary and I could not be happier with this kind of trad wife.
- You won man.

This reminds me of a lecture on gender roles in ancient Rome. The one quality that keeps getting repeated (and put into head stones of woman's graves) is that they are/were a 'good spinster'i.e. Romans wanted their wives making wool for fabric.
Ofc it wasn't purely about that, it was a common phrase that was about their standing, general behavior and such. But it stayed with me as it's such a great way of showing how arbitrary the praise of 'confirming to societal role' is.

She's got the technique down and likes meat. What's not to love?
