From everything that I have experienced, these traits are the traits you should look for if you want to find a unicorn. These are definitely not SUREFIRE signs that she is one, they just increase the chances by a noticeable margin.

  1. The family has conservative values. I’m not talking new-age conservatism where “everyone has to be equal”, with very right wing views about the economy or immigration. I’m talking true, traditional gender role conservatism. Everyone will be happier with it (yes, even the women), it has been shown time and time again women are happier being stay-at-home moms, taking care of the kids, etc.

  2. Christian Family. I don’t just mean the girl is Christian when she wants to be, I mean full on, read the Bible everyday, trying their hardest to follow what the Bible says about EVERYTHING. In my experience, no matter whether you believe in god or not, these girls tend to be more moral and faithful than other girls, due in part to the belief that it will make them better.

  3. Have a stable dad in the family. Not just a father, but a dad. Someone who comes home everyday from work and talks to them, does things with them, and disciplines them with the aforementioned conservative and Christian values. Without the stable dad, those values likely will not be as instilled into the girl, and will probably fade away given enough time.

  4. She hasn’t been with very many men (honestly, not just saying she hasn’t). Girls who haven’t been with many men before, I’m talking a maximum of 3 guys, 4 if you want to stretch it. Females that haven’t been with a lot of men before tend to appreciate what they have more than sluts who sleep around with a different guy every couple days.

Now, as I said at the beginning of this post, this is not a surefire method to find a unicorn, it just increases the odds that you might find one. Before going out and putting ANY of this into practice I would tell you this: if I were you, I would just stay away from dating as a whole, but if you feel you MUST have a female companion, then these are the best steps to follow. Also something to note here, everything I have just mentioned is purely anecdotal, so as always with women, results may vary.
