I believe I understand exactly where you are coming from...
My 'ideal' woman has never married and never been pregnant. Why? So that she and I are in the same place where our experience in life is concerned.
I think it probably works best if people marry someone else in their own 'status' - never-married, divorced, widowed, etc. - because of 'experiential' compatibility. I am not saying that no other combination is possible (will work out well) - only that I believe that - in general - it is best.
While it would certainly be a "bonus", I do not necessarily expect her to be a virgin.
I also do not want someone who is into smoking, tattoos, piercings, etc. - "unnatural" things.
I am willing to consider to-a-point the 'occasional glass of wine' idea; however, as a rule - I don't drink - and do not want her to be in that habit, either.
When it comes to some things - "picky" is okay. Don't "settle" by lowering your own high standard. And, never apologize for having a high standard.
And, there is nothing wrong with 'personal preferences' - so - let everyone find someone with "matching preferences"...

they....
can't be married, can't be same-gender as me, have to have an income, must be active enough to handle six children on a full time basis, must love me, preferably have no addictions (drinking, smoking, etc.), and can't be abusive in any form. I think that's about it
overall, I need to have a good feeling/vibe/discernment about them

? a wife cant have her beauty sleep? I dont think I could be with someone who was constantly on the go and never stopped to rest. Unless we were both marathon runners. IDK
Some marriages work by taking turns, one does the day shift, and one the night shift, esp when children need at least one adult with them and there is no nanny lol
