There is truth in what you say. I’ll pile on some.

I went off the script a couple of times when dating, in that I dated a few non Christian women.

They were, compared to the other women I dated, well adjusted and had their lives put together. Were it not for the command to not be unequally yoked I’d have jumped ship on dating inside the church right then. That command of God is the only thing that held me there because the Christian women I dated were uniformly borderline personalities or straight out narcissists. They were emotionally stunted, unpleasant harridans, except for the top few women. Being more of an average man, those top women were never available to me. That’s ok, that never bothered me at all. I’m nothing if not a realist. I figured an average guy like me would seek out women in my own league as it were.

That didn’t work so well.

In general, my observation is that of the few women my age that were average desireability, they refused to give average men the time of day. They fought each other through their 20s over the small proportion of top men, because they were princesses who only deserved the very best according to mommy, daddy, and the false feminist Christ the churchians taught. Then when they reached 35 they realized they weren’t going to win that game. So they fell back to Average Joe.

Average Joe was not amused and took a pass on that shit deal. With the good days of his youth cast aside like so much trash, he saw no reason to go there.

If I had a son I would advise him against dating Christian women unless he was unusually attractive to women or scored a high paying secure job right out of school, and even then I’d counsel a lot of caution and advise being extremely picky. We would also be dispensing with the traditional “gentlemanly” behaviors as they are wasted on this generation of emotional illiterates.

If I seem bitter I, I don’t mean to. If people don’t like it...well, I hate it for them. If I had grown up in my parents generation I’d have done well, but I didn’t. Liberal social values took away the best years of my youth, and even if things changed right now, I still can’t get those experiences back.

So yes, I have every reason to be displeased with how things went. I have no moral obligation to further participate in a system designed to destroy and consume me for the convenience of others. I also have a moral obligation to warn young men of what they are about to face whether anybody likes it or not.

Rant over.

“Why buy the cow when the milk is free?”

Simple not profound truth: Men can get all the sex they want with no commitment, so why do they need a relationship that is likely to end in their financially losing half or more of what they have and be hated by their kids due to their being brainwashed by the mother?

Godly, single Christian men are out there, but rare. I have 3 sons to prove it: 28, 36, 41. All are “men’s men” in very good shape and very good looking.....and of course I’m totally objective...... ;-)

Thanks for that JamesP81. I always wondered what you average men were all about.

“Narcissistic Personality Disorder is now the norm among young women not the exception.”

That’s what happens when “submission” is no longer allowed in our vocabulary. Satan has truly got a hold on our nation and he did it the same way he did it in the garden.

no. The FIRST resurrection of Rev 20.

4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

I love hearing that...Because it’s B.S.

Fact is most of these wimenz whining about men today just after the “milk” in fact raised young men that watched as mommie brought home a different guy every week finding fault in every one of them after she beds them.

Kids learn fast by example.

If it’s okay for mom to bang someone new Every week why would you expect the kid to act differently.

Answer #1: Never say never.

Alternative ending: I need to pay closer attention.

Good luck with that. :-)
