Of course, it will depend on the person. However, men may tend to be more attracted to a woman who looks like a housewife because 'she' (not necessarily that woman, but the woman she embodies through her clothes) will provide him with a beautified, clean, perfect home with a white picketed fence; this vision is ideal and gives the man the security that he has filled out society's idea of a perfect lifestyle. I found a few items of clothing that reminded me of 1950s housewives while browsing online...
While these outfits are no doubt stylish and refined, they do look like an outfit that a 1950s housewife would select from her closet before an early morning run to the grocery store. I do not know whether a typical man would be more attracted to a woman who looked like she stepped out of the 1950sbecause of the security that ideal provides, but it makes sense to me.




Yes, that housewife comment was quite strange :P-- I think the security factor is a good observation, but another reason a man may dig those pictures also has to do with the shape of the woman-- tall, lean, well-developed curves. If you can recall, when Hillary Clinton was running for president, people constantly obsessed over her business attire and how she looked. I think that people today are more aware that not all women will take the housewife role, but the focus on the looks and overall appearance of a woman are still deeply ingrained in society's mind(basically, her "sex appeal"), much more so than the focus on the appearance of men.
