Christian women can’t find good men to marry: ‘There just aren’t any’
Life Site News ^ | May 2, 2019 | Anna Hitchings

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.

No upside for men. The entire proposition is tilted out of favor from their perspective. They are opting out.

She said she wants a man who is worldly wise?
I think she meant wise to the wiles of the world.

I think she meant "weisenheimer".

Sorry, babe. Taken.

” If they’re single church-goers, they’re usually awkward and in want of basic social awareness (a big turn-off for most women)”

This. Takes. The. Cake.
Sorry, lady, you are a MORON for being unhappy that a guy can’t be so perfect. According to this twit, we must not only be churchgoing, faithful, loyal, employed and single *BUT* we also have the charm of an Elvis or Mike Rowe.

Geeze, and I though some leftists were dumb.

The idiot who wrote this, and any idiots who believe it, are dumber, needier, and more delusional than any leftist wearing a pussy hat.

I ran out of patience waiting for her to get to talking about why she didn’t marry at, say, 22 instead of waiting til her thirties. I was 32 twenty eight years ago and I’ll tell you I didnt meet a lot of marriagble types at that point. The never- marrieds my age were losers or crazy.

we get multitude threads about how guys can't find any good women out there......

well folks, good partners of the opposite sex are out there.....

but if you're looking for a silicon boobed bottle blonde or a 6'4 lean and hard stud, you're all out of luck.....

try instead for a person of modest means, with a modest body physique, with a good heart, and morals.....those are the kind of friends that last....

At 32, most men in her desired age range have already been taken.

A 35 year old man of quality can go for women 20 to 35, and if he wants children will try to get a woman with as many fertile years ahead of her as possible.

If this woman wants a husband, she needs to be willing to look at men up to 10 years older, maybe 15, and not insist on great wealth.

What she’s likely to get is men not interested in marriage, who will sleep with her for a few months to a year, then move on.

I’ll bet a lot of her conversations with single guys in her church goes like this:

“Excuse me, Miss ____...”

“I have a boyfriend!”

I have no animus towards Catholics; indeed I love them as my Christian brethren. But it seemed Catholic women I dated were more neurotic then most.

Why would I marry a woman, potentially lose half my stuff when I get the prize for free?

That's because most American women are freakin' WORTHLESS as life partners.

"The never- marrieds my age were losers or crazy."

Nowadays you need to add easy. 1 to 3 dates tops.

I think she would find that that the men who lacked some social skills would be trainable and the awkwardness would disappear within a few months.
