May 2, 2019 (The Catholic Weekly) – We are living in a unique time in history. Never has politics been so polarised, never has mainstream society come so near to amorality (although Nero’s Rome came close), and never has it been so difficult for a woman to find a good man.
The latter is, I’ll admit, a bold claim but allow me to elaborate.
We constantly bemoan the state of society, the youth, universities, the media, et al, which seem to be collectively falling into ever deeper rabbit holes of noxious regressive ideas, behaviours and policies.
Religious affiliation and church attendance, especially among youth and men in particular, has never been lower. Pornography addiction is a scourge of epidemic proportions among men and even boys as young as 11. Put simply, the world is in a mess.
You’ve heard it all before.
Yet one important side-effect of all this that gets little attention is how tough this new environment has become for women, especially Christian women, to find good husbands. The situation is so dire there is now an emerging trend of women abandoning their faith and religious beliefs for the sake of romantic relationships.
Perhaps this is not considered a particularly serious issue when compared with Brexit, abortion on demand or the erosion of free speech, but I would contend it is every bit as important, if not more so. The future of our society depends on good, solid marriages, families and citizens. We need families to produce educated and informed young men and women who will continue fighting the good fight on all the issues confronting our society.
Yet for someone like me – a 32-year-old single Catholic – the situation looks bleak indeed.

Maybe “basic social awareness” means paying for her crab legs with no hopes of boom boom?
She looks attractive. Oddly enough, she’d probably look beautiful if she removed half the makeup on her face.
I don’t think people ever give up faith - unless they actually LOSE faith.
Sometimes they give up the outer trappings of it, though.
That’s the good thing about these websites - you learn something new every day!
Feel well, sister.
Maybe not marry at 20, but she should be sizing guys up according to how good a husband he might be. Perhaps marry at 22-24, after graduation when they’re self supporting.
The girl who waits and sees what he’s going to grow into, may find herself losing him to another girl willing to take a risk.
Truth, fair or not.
I met my wife when I was 37...she turned 23 four days before our first date. 14 years later (13 of marriage) we have 6 children.
The problem with expanded horizons, is that they are that there are lots of fish in the sea, BUT they never realize that there are an EQUALLY large number of women fishing for the best catch.
Mr Perfect has lots of choices. In fact, he has so many choices that he may decide to “play the field” and skip marriage entirely.
Well honey, you’ve done yourself huge harm by not finding a man in your 20s. Those were your prime years. You say there are no good men. Is that really the case or is it just that you’ve been very unrealistic? You say you want religious and worldy wise and not socially awkward. Is that honestly what you’re after or does he also have to be minimum 6’0’ and super physically attractive and making a 6 figure salary and no older than you and and and?
If so, you’re not likely to get that. Those guys want women 10 years younger than you are. Have you considered guys in their 40s? How much income do they have to have? If you ever want to have a family, its long past time to get realistic about what you can get on the dating market. The good news is there ARE plenty of good men out there who would be happy to marry a nice girl rather than a tatted up skank but you’re going to have to be flexible on at least a few of your shopping list of demands.
boy my son and a number of my friends’s sons say that there are no women interested in a serious relationshiop or commitment.
And they are all between 23 and 34
Guy my son looks like a greek god and he says that the kinds of women who chase him have no interest in any sort of permenence.
My son is 24 and he repeats the same story, almost word for word.
I am convinced there is something wrong with today’s young women.
My brother was married to a woman, who had an affair on him. She wanted all three to live together.
He got out of that marriage.
More likely my story, not yours.
They were raised by madonna 30 years ago
Early MTV the family babysitter
Black Jesus evil white guys beat him up
She crawled across the floor to kiss his feet
The little girls watched
Several times per day.
Now they are adult women
All screwed up.
How about a negress?
++++++++++++
My second black daughter just married a wonderful white man.
So did the oldest.
Luckier men do not exist.
Artist, missionary, nurse, onecology specialist, finance specialist are some of their works and passions.
As well as mother, the oldest, the younger just tied the knot and we do expect a baby will be concieved and born within the next couple of years.
Gets you in the craw, doesnt it?
Asshole.
A poll of Tinder users found that women rated 80% of men as “below average.” Granted, Tinder users are probably more shallow than most, but it might say something about the unrealistic expectations many people, especially women, have regarding what weight class they’re punching in.
On top of that, how often do we hear (in total contradiction the the “wage gap” thing, but I digress), that more women than men are succeeding in higher education, that women’s earning potential is creeping above that of men, and yet seemingly many women are looking for a man that earns more than them. Same deal as these tough independent gals who don’t need no man expecting the man to pay and pull out the chair and hold the door, etc. Women have clung to “outdated” ideas when it comes to dating/marriage.
Worse still, many guys truly aren’t a catch. They’ve been raised in schools that tell them their masculinity is toxic, and porn addiction is rampant. Many young men are deep in debt, lethargic, have no goals, and justify it (and I can’t really blame them) by pointing out that housing, food, education, all cost significantly more than 40 years ago, they are the first generation that will not achieve a better standard of living than their parents, will most likely never own a home, etc.
smart man, there is a bit of that polyandry and stuff going on. Reminds me of the seventies.
...and thoroughly unappreciated.
I was not all together talking about Christian’s as I was 32 years
old before becoming a believer and so we’re most of my friends, however
i had known what passing the flower meant from the time I was fifteen
I am talking about mother nature which I assume was started by God.
I was fifteen when I passed the seventh grade by the skin Of my teeth
however I understood that most of the thirteenth to fifteen year old
girls in my class were virgins.
Not because they wanted to be but because they wanted to do it right and
Christian never had anything to do with it except in tradition.
I believe the Bible hints pretty strongly that when a lass passes the flower
she is at the age to be married but the ding bats at the colleges tell
them to wait and get a great education.
While there is nothing wrong with an education if it is something we can use
look at the other things it has brought us, unborn babies killed by the millions
Gay marriage not to mention a thousand other things that are an
abomination to God.
We have missed with mother nature and you do not mess with mother nature and get away
with it.
And all of this was started in the colleges both Christian and un christian.
You believe that a girl who is a virgin and a Christian will stay that way but I think
the proof is just the opposite.
