18 year old man from Maine looking for a wife in 1865. Better than most OLD profiles.

Men’s profiles on OLD today: Just ask I’m an open book 😏

Platipus6 · 2021-07-20T11:07:59+00:00

Is his great-great-great grandson single? 😍

Extreme-Vermicelli · 2021-07-20T09:49:15+00:00

Waterfalls!

superderpina_ · 2021-07-20T09:41:09+00:00

„some person of the female persuasion“ is quite the inclusive term

inventivesquid · 2021-07-20T11:49:57+00:00

I need some first rate buckwheat and hoop skirts in my life 😍😍

DandelionScreaming · 2021-07-20T13:17:28+00:00

19 and ngl I’d be interested in him haha. No suggestion of situation-ships, no mentions of abusive kinks, no nonsense, has good teeth and therefore probably good hygiene, he’s productive and wants to keep working… yeah he’s one of the better ones. It seems so out of place to be on an online profile though.

shelballama · 2021-07-20T13:50:25+00:00

I am so curious as to how this worked out for him/ what type of person he was.

rabidmoon · 2021-07-20T18:27:27+00:00

I like him, too. I get the impression he was kind of a weird guy but also honest, charming, romantic and modest. The line about buying waterfalls got me. Kinda poetic and sweet. I hope he found himself a lovely wife, treated her right and lived happily ever after.

God, look at me… I’m not even 12 hours into the worst betrayal of my life and I’m still optimistic.

Protoetype · 2021-07-20T14:52:31+00:00

This ad said you wanted to buy me bread and butter! It said nothing about wanting me to risk my life repeatedly giving birth out in the back shed in rapid succession!

letsberealforamoment · 2021-07-20T16:24:47+00:00

Im 45. This kid has his shit together than most men in their 30s and 40s.

Fatt3stAveng3r · 2021-07-20T12:18:36+00:00

He had me at hoop skirts.

NotYourCirce · 2021-07-20T16:07:16+00:00

“Here’s what I’ve got and what I can provide for you.” 👏🏻 Did he meet his match?

Equal-Ear2312 · 2021-07-20T17:14:50+00:00

this man wants to buy butter and skirts for his future wife and pickmes are settling for skid marks and cheeto fingers?

spicyspa · 2021-07-20T23:53:56+00:00

Wow he has had more accomplishments than today's average 30 year old.

gingerlovingcat · 2021-07-20T19:20:56+00:00

Legit this guy sounds like a winner. I hope he found what he was looking for in his wife and vice versa. I hope we all find hard working, earnest HVM like this!

Theboredshrimp · 2021-07-20T17:45:01+00:00

He doesn't want a wife to serve him, he wants a wife that he can cherish and whom he'll provide for.

ComedyCaviar · 2021-07-20T14:05:11+00:00

This is a true testament of a guy who knows a woman's worth and is advertising himself as the provider. He has everything the society tells him a good american should be- Hard working, patriot and a provider with a house, cattle and land and is now ready for his reward.

Reward, ladies. Reward.

_electrafire · 2021-07-20T16:56:15+00:00

It’s so so so sad and tragic to see their downfall. Nowadays this guy would be asking for a wife who “brings something to the table” since they no longer have value to provide

shelballama · 2021-07-20T14:26:30+00:00

I am so curious as to how this worked out for him/ what type of person he was.

FirePreferred_theOG · 2021-07-21T00:43:03+00:00

Why are all the men I'm attracted too ancient or dead?

metaphoricalrose · 2021-07-20T16:24:02+00:00

he could buy me bread and butter and hoopskirts any day 👀

lansburysoda · 2021-07-20T15:40:20+00:00

This is so sweet 🥺🥰 wish there were more men like this today 😔

YeolsansQ · 2021-07-20T19:02:32+00:00

"good set of teeth"

he already surpassed half of the OLD

GreatOrchidAmbition · 2021-07-20T23:44:48+00:00

why do i find this cute D: it's so earnest

ShieldMaidenLagertha · 2021-07-21T02:26:17+00:00

This is so wholesome and kinda breaks my heart. What happened to men?!

Blue_Nina_Roses711 · 2021-07-20T20:59:28+00:00

Why did I find this kinda sweet?

Wiggy_Bop · 2021-07-20T12:41:22+00:00

I’d marry him right now! A true HVM!

Unless Andy Johnson is some proto Rush Limbaugh...

Khentiamentiu42 · 2021-07-20T23:18:26+00:00

Iunno, sounds like Black Philip from the Vitch to me, offering nice dresses and butter >. >

lskfjd743 · 2021-07-20T17:36:00+00:00

Damn, this boy has more than most of the men on OL have to offer us!!

Street_Narwhal_3361 · 2021-07-20T16:11:32+00:00

He had me at buckwheat.

i_h8_m3 · 2021-07-21T01:48:42+00:00

Mens profiles on old half the time are more requirements for a woman than informatiom about themselves. That or creepy rape/sex "jokes"....

itscoolimherenowdude · 2021-07-21T03:09:24+00:00

This is so cute NGL.

Professional-Ad-457 · 2021-07-20T10:14:34+00:00

‘I want a female. That’s whats the matter with me. But I don’t know how to do it’: said like every redpilled or LV scrote from the dawn of time. Er..Try being nice and make a consistent effort?

lillyofthevalet · 2021-07-20T12:35:33+00:00

Is this an 18 year old who got out of fighting and is now trying to pick up war widows? Lol. I understand the sentiment of him saying he has land and wants to provide compared to men (or kids in his case) today, but I don't know if this is the way. Your great, great, great grandmas would never.

Yellowsunflowerlover · 2021-07-20T14:43:23+00:00

Weren't women property to men back in the 1860s? Unless I'm mistaken they were dependent on man and weren't allowed to get divorces. Seems odd he'd still be single, if he was actually worth anything. Maybe he was off like the men on OLD.
