Not only are you assuming their gender/spousal preferences, but I feel this grossly simplifies the issue.

Not everybody needs a "wife" (maybe you should have said partner) and I'm not sure why you are assuming that would help the poster.

OP said 'wife' and we all understood what op meant. There is nothing negative to his comment, why are you implying there was?

It’s ok to sometimes make some assumptions in order to make your point more digestible and keep the conversation flowing.

As to why he thinks getting a wife would help the poster: I’d bet visarga had the experience of getting a wife or some kind of partner, and found that it helped him through a similar problem the poster is having.

It’s ok to share your anecdotal experiences. This is an Internet forum, not somebody’s peer reviewed dissertation.

Fixed for opposite gender: You don't need many friends, you need a husband that would listen to your stories, and to focus on your hobbies.
