Grown men behaving as such. Dressing appropriately for the occasion (meaning work clothes for work as much as "Sunday clothes" for more formal occasions). Being a leader in their family, business, and community - and if not a leader in the latter two, a productive follower or team member. Demonstrating emotional continence, self-restraint, and self-confidence. In contrast to loosely-termed men who wear basketball shorts and flip-flops in public, don't want the responsibility of leadership (or can't handle it) but peevishly resent and interfere with any other man taking it on, melt down or rage at the slightest provocation, and are generally insecure and indecisive man-children rather than adults.
People taking pride in their appearance, and that of their families, homes, neighborhoods, and communities. People of Sears-Roebuck vs. People of Walmart.
The idea that as citizens you work together to improve your community and country, rather than every tiny faction competing to wield power over all the others, and to destroy every person or institution that stands in the way. Practical, realistic caution and probity (Chesterton's Fence) over ignorant, malicious, and nihilistic "revolutionary" zeal or harebrained idealistic schemes for social regeneration that are so good they have to be implemented thru deceit or force.
Start a country under these ideals and I'll move there.

In the UK at least, although I believe it was true for the likes of the USA as well, the ability of a hard working man, in an ordinary job, to own his own home, and raise a family, on his wage only, whilst his wife remained at home, and to be able to retire on a proper pension at the end of it all.

Sorry for the late response. I just noticed your comment.
I went on a deep dive myself. All I was able to find from Coulter was some references from watchdog groups about something she wrote for the Observer referencing voting patterns and repeal the 19th type stuff. This made me think that maybe I mis-attributed the the piece. So, I looked for Michelle Malkin and a few others (I'm sure it was written by a woman). I've come up empty handed.
This was a fairly long-form piece. It broke down voting patterns for women starting just after 19th was passed. It showed both immediate, and then, longer trend divergence patterns between male and female voters. It also made comparisons between female voting patterns in the US vs. European countries. Sorry to hijack the thread, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about and can point me to a source, I would be very grateful.

This 100 times. And age gaps not being so frowned upon (maybe they always were, but it wasn't as hostile as today). I'm early 30s, no way am I settling down with a girl my age. 28 is the absolute limit. Absolute. 22-26 is the ideal for me. When I'm closer to 40, if I'm still single it'll be 24-28... with 30 as an absolute limit. I'm talking relationships here, not notches. 18-22 is still the best for notches, but I pretty much despise their personalities.
