All grooms want Nightingales
Tags:
The tech-savvy young generation is actually going traditional when it comes to settling down in life. Aspiring grooms are looking for better-halves employed as teachers while young brides-to-be want engineer husbands.
A recent survey on international literacy day by a matrimonial portal, to understand spousal preferences, has found that 38 per cent of men have opted for a teacher wife while 40 per cent of women have chosen engineer partners.
The second choice of profession of their spouses among men is doctors (27 per cent) while women seem to have settled down for businessmen (27 per cent).
Of the 8,000 respondents in the age group of 26-35 years who took the survey by shaadi.com, 65 per cent of men consider teachers and doctors to be good listeners, patient, disciplined, organised and interactive which completely match the traits required for an ideal wife.
Apart from being literate, women from these professions have a tendency of being extremely caring which makes them good mothers, they had said.
Justifying the choice, advertising professional J. Mahesh says, “Such professions give them more time for family. And they are as good as a normal housewife as they are available for kids all the time.”
Interestingly, the third profession of choice for partners among men is engineers (12 per cent) followed by banking and hospitality employees (8 per cent each).Women have opted for doctors and bankers (13 per cent each) followed by media professionals (7 per cent).
