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.

It is the nerdy, logical types who would be both utterly loyal to a wife and tend to be good earners. But no, she wants high income, extroverted AND religious ...
The feminization of the liberal denominations is also driving out the men. Out go the rules for living, the logical analytical discussions of scripture. No, God is love, so let’s just sing and hug to be Christians. A lot of systemic thinking guys - nerds - are driven out. These are the ones Dr. Jordan Peterson is attracting. (This is not a criticism of Peterson.)
And in too many churches infected with social justice, love = liberal politics. Let’s drive out the conservative guys who want a wife and children, think it is wrong to have sex before and outside of marriage. No, they’re evil oppressors. We need to find feminist guys who are happy to help you have liberated sex and abortions ... and now tell them to get married.
Not only God’s law but logical. Which is what God’s law really is - sane safe practices that maximize stability and health.
Can’t control your urges, too bad. Gain some self-control and bad things tend not to happen, either to the self or to society.
Exactly.
Actually probably failed to read at all, another hallmark of FR.
It is no big thing to control something you did not want to do in the first place, I had an urge but I controlled it until I was married.
In your quote from an article not previously posted, she states that what she meant was that she didn’t want someone effectively autistic or isolated.
“Men who have serious problems interacting socially (including those who are on the spectrum or have an intellectual disability).”
That is completely different than your biblical references. She is not looking for someone with wisdom, at all, so quit misrepresenting her words, AF.
Well, you can’t polish a turd. There are many things mitigating against marriage these days;unreal expectations, radical feminism, slut culture, college debt etc., but boys (and girls) have to be raised to be responsible and that’s just not happening.
I won’t pretend to know most women.
My experience, unfortunately, has not been positive.
If I can find a good Christian woman—preferably one who isn’t going to ask me to adopt a stepchild, but that’s not a hard pass—I’d love to try a relationship.
But when I tried, she said no to an engagement ring and then broke up with me. Another complained that I was scaring her when I asked her out on a second date after we had coffee after work—no idea WHY, because I’m very not-intimidating—and then savaged me behind my back when I opted not to pine for her after she broke it off.
I do not have any facts except that it is said that millions of unborn babies are killed
and every day you read about this or that church embracing gay marriage, and I realize
that there are a lot of young folks who we can count on but the UNborn babies who are
killed every year hardly belongs to the 50 to 70 year olds.
Any one who can not read of the anti God things happening in the colleges, even the Christian
ones are just not reading.
The facts some times make a mockery out of the surveys.
I’m going to be honest with you. That post sounded needy. That’s what would have scared her off, barring any other reason that isn’t mentioned.
One skill I’ve learned over the years is to care less about whether a person is in your life or not. Live your life and if she shows, she shows. If not, they don’t.
It was a smiley face. It shows up on my phone, but I will check when I get home to see if it shows up there.
Oh, yes. Every woman should take on the task of rebuilding a man. It makes his life so enjoyable.
If I get single again, I’m going back to Church!!!
My brother says that the life expectancy of an American male should be 35, but they live a lot longer in captivity.
You may be correct for the first one, among other possibilities. I’ve moved on from that one, however.
The second one, the girl was... interesting. And I’ll leave it at that for now, other than my wonderment that she started to want me the moment I made it clear that I didn’t want her any more.
ok, i looked briefly also and i saw one photo of her with a small kid, but i did not see any proof that the kid was *her* kid. so it seems to require an assumption to conclude that the kid in the photo with her is *her* kid.
it could be but it might also not be. if it is, it would seem to be very inconsistent with her opinions which she has published. (i might be missing something.)
Got to keep the sisterhood going, you and me.
;-)
LOL. . . Good one!
Why would men marry when the situation is where women will have unlimited sex with them outside of a marital commitment then stop having sex with them inside of a marital commitment and then take their kids and half their possessions and more away from them?
Fix that.
Translation: There’s just too damn many democrat pseudo-males out there where there ought to be men...
