Dear Abby: I Want a Real Relationship But Guys Only Want One Thing
New York Post ^ | May 22, 2023

Posted on 05/22/2023 4:00:41 PM PDT by nickcarraway

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 32-year-old woman. My 20s were spent in a serious long-term relationship. It was a lot of firsts for me. After we split, I took a couple of years to sow my wild oats and find out who I am as an individual.

I’m now looking for something more than “friends with benefits.” However, the last few men I’ve met and gone on dates with, as wholesome as they seemed on dating sites (which have been my main source of meeting men), were really just looking for hookups. I want to find a life partner.

I have been chatting with a potentially great guy I met online, and we have a date scheduled. But I’m nervous that when we meet that he’ll expect more than a date. I’m over that. Like I said, I want an actual relationship.

Follow the Half His Age Plus Seven rule.

If she is 32, she should be looking for a 50 year old man, because 50=(32-7)*2. If she is 37, she should be looking for a man who is 60.

I’m stupidly lucky. My husband was always easy to please, as are all of my single male friends looking for a girlfriend. I get a lot of, “I wish more women were like you” from them; which is interesting, because I’m the adult version of a tomboy without the male clothing. Says a lot about my friends, I suppose.

I’m not sure what I’d do if something happened to my old man. I don’t want to start dating at 36+ with my body falling apart the way it is. When my high school boyfriend and I split after 7½ years, I was already on dialysis and not sure anyone would want me when my husband fell into my lap. It’d just be worse now.

Correct, there appear to be many previous married men who are not going that road again.

MGTOW (plural MGTOWs)

(aviation) Initialism of maximum gross takeoff weight: the maximum gross weight of a given aircraft, including its own weight and that of everything it is carrying, before being unable to take off.

So in other words the ladies have too much baggage ?

MGTOW stands for "Men going their own way", and is about men who have decided that being in a relationship with a woman is more trouble than it's worth.

This does not necessarily mean that they will be celibate, but rather will not be interested in marriage, living together, or any other type of arrangement where a woman has the ability to lay claim to their assets, or thinks she has any right to anything of his.

When you are saved life becomes much more jopyful, and you are right,,,the rest takes care of itself.

Its OK to go to church for the snake oil medicine. The Good Lord works in mysterious ways.

“...there would be a bounty on their heads.”

I heard Jim Belushi say that to Elizabeth Perkins in “About Last Night (1986)” and have repeated it as many times as I could get away with.

No it seems to be YOUR problem.

My original post was not directed to you.

I just stated an observable fact. Mainline churches have become the religious equivalent of gay bars and bath houses. Maybe not your church, but Satan is alive and desperate to destroy the church. He knows his time is short and destroying the churches by infiltrating them with perverts is his goal.

And if this lady, who doesn’t seem to be at all interested in Christianity wants to find a “life partner”, then the last place I want her to seek her life partner is at my church. Church is where you go to meet Jesus, not hook up with a “life partner”. But there are certainly a lot of churches where homos and perverts are embraced and where they can meet and find what they are looking for, which is anything but Jesus.

That’s the truth.

And if telling the truth is considered to be rude by you, then maybe you are on the wrong forum.

“My original post was not directed to you.”

It matters not.
Your post was incredibly rude.
