You want a "trad wife" ?
Me too!

Who wouldn't want someone who deferred to their judgement, cooked and cleaned, ... (and the one I find most tempting: organized their notes and projects and helped them with research and writing books --Oh and help me with my career: be being charming at my work parties, plan my social calendar... impress my boss with fancy snacks.)

Put like this it makes the question "who would want to do all of that?" more obvious. But it gets even more astonishing:

Someone might want to help you that much. Not out of any sense of obligation, or due to gender roles, but just because they want to help you be successful. But this would require a foundation of mutual respect something that is hard to build when your starting point is "I want a trad wife" and "all these women are hoes."

@futurebird

Whenever I read "trad wife", in my mind it reads "kitchen bot". I cannot take people seriously who find kitchen bots attractive.

@brembs @futurebird for me it sounds like "trade wife" and somehow it should be a business thing, all else is just bizarre.
