That's a very good question
It seems that our modern culture has not brought people together but has alienated many.
Its very difficult today as years of radical feminism has created deep wounds and mistrust between the sexes.
You can "see" it here on FR with the "woman bashing" threads and the woman who won’t trust a man again.
Many have just given up entirely on dating or finding someone
In short we are working in a different climate than say 20 years ago and we have to work within that climate
Where to find someone?
Just be you and get out of the house!
Church is a good place, pursuit your interests, hobbies, get politically active, try some of the Internet dating sites but KNOW what you NEED (as opposed to everything you want, there are no perfect men or woman!) and what you won't accept
You have to use your HEAD as well as your HEART
The main thing is DON'T GIVE UP,HANG IN THERE, BECOME THE PERSON YOU WOULD WANT TO BE WITH
HEAR, HEAR ! or is it HERE, HERE? Advice good enough to take to heart, and a great summation of the situation. I am inspired.
Very well said.
In that regard....
I am reminded of the intro from the movie "baby boom", with Dianne Keaton, from 1987.::
"3 generations of women havd turned 2,000 years of tradidtion on its ear. Women now make up over 53% of the workforce."
Yeah, and look what "turning that tradition on it's ear has done. Children from stable, normal happily-married families are the EXCEPTION nowdays. Crime runs rampant, and many teens(expecially from those "broken homes") have no resepct for anyone, and have the "i'm entitled to what I want, without cost to me" mentality.
Another excerpt::
"Take J.C. Wiatt. She is a career-driven woman. She works from 5-9,6 days a week. (that is 72 HOURS, 12 hours a DAY, btw!!)."She is married to her job". She makes 6 figures from her advertising firm."
I don't know about you all, but I do NOT want to "work for the sake of workiong, or be "married to my job". 12 hours of REAL waork a day("NOT a "token" job, btw) would be so exhausting that one woul.d do little more than come home and drop in bed, every night. Money may be important, but NOT so important that you work so much you have no time to spend it, or no time to spend with the family. (of course, in such cases, most women of that kind do not have children, as they would get in the way of the "career").
I guess in the movie (which I have NOT seen, btw) She finds out that there is a bit more to life than work and career.
