Unexpected Traits That Make You “Wife Material”

[caption id="attachment_744953" align="aligncenter" width="1068"]<img src="http://madamenoire.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/just-married-couple.jpg" alt="" width="1068" height="601" class="size-full wp-image-744953" /> Shutterstock.com/just married bride and groom[/caption] The term “wife material” might conjure up an image of a woman who is seen at home in a football jersey as much as she is an apron. It might make you think of a woman who can be just as stern about finances as she is about BDSM, but actually, it’s not as clear-cut (or based on some pulp fiction fantasy) as that. Don’t be too quick to assume that you aren’t wife material just because men don’t often describe you as “chill” and you have no idea how to glaze a salmon. When your partner thinks about spending his entire life with you, he probably looks at very different qualities than you think he does. Here are the quirky and unexpected traits that make you wife material in his mind.

91 Days

What it's about: This Prohibition-era anime is a fast-paced mafia drama set over the course of...you guessed it, 91 days. Angelo Lagusa has returned to the town of Lawless after seven years in hiding after his family's murder. Now he's determined to befriend the son of those responsible for his family's death in order to set his revenge plans in motion. There are no clear good guys and bad guys in this story. It's a tight, gun-slinging series with a twisty plot that will enthrall you the whole way through.

What it's about: The world is in the middle of the industrial revolution when a pandemic strikes, turning humans into horrifying, infectious corpses called Kabane. Thanks to its walls and fortifications, the island of Hinomoto is one of the last refuges of humanity...until the Kabane finally manage to break through. Right off the bat, this anime's brisk, tense pace is more than enough to keep you on the edge of your seat for a full season.

What it's about: Naho Takamiya is in her second year of high school when she begins to receive letters from her future self.

Gently-paced and beautifully illustrated, this lovely anime puts more emphasis on its characters than anything else, and presents us with a theme we can all relate to: living life without regret.

This Website Makes THE OFFICE Characters Stare at You in Every Emotion

http://nerdist.com/this-website-makes-the-office-characters-stare-at-you-in-every-emotion/

You’re watching an episode of The OfficeMichael Scott and Dwight Schrute are discussing some sort of off-the-wall scheme. As they fall deeper down their likely illogical rabbit hole, they get so animated that Jim can’t take it anymore. As a way to ground himself in reality, he stares directly into the documentary crew’s cameras and reaches out for sympathy from the viewing public using only his eyes and facial muscles. That is the Jim Halpert stare that has become such a big part of the show and of pop culture as a whole. It’s so prominent that people think even Hillary Clinton pulled it out during a presidential debate with now-President Elect Donald Trump.

Over time, other Office characters couldn’t help but stare into the camera for one reason or another either, leading to a wide variety of emotions in the form of fourth-wall-breaking camera stares. And now, if you want a The Office character to empathize with you by staring into your soul, The Office Stare Machine has you covered.

The website has catalogued “every single time a character speechlessly breaks the 4th wall and stares at the camera,” so it has 706 clips that were collected over the course of a year and a half. It’s an ambitious project, so we ran it through a quick litmus test, and it passed easily. Here’s what we got when we typed in “happy”:

Here’s sad:

Exasperated:

And horny:

There are plenty more where that came from—702 more, to be exact—so explore them all for yourself at The Office Stare Machine.
