Either they are only interested in his money or they want a bad boy.
He tells me that I raised him right, to respect women, so he refuses to play the game and be a "bad boy".
And he can spot a gold-digger miles away. No way is he going to give her everything he has when she finds a golden goose that looks more interesting.
Can't understand where all the nice girls have gone --- so he is content now to be on his own. Says it gives him more time for hunting & fishing.
On the other side, my 24 yo daughter has found that it is very hard to find a nice man. The men she meets are just interested in sex, so she's about ready to give up too.
I guess young people today who are raised right, respectful and not sleeping with anything that moves are considered a rarity, and ones that probably will never marry.
They just need a way to find each other.
I have a 20-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son. He’s shy and she’s out-going. But she’s so busy with college classes that she doesn’t have time to even think about guys.
I think the church conflicts have taught my kids that it’s easier to be alone, though. It’s hard to be a PK (pastor’s kid) even at best, but especially hard when the congregation is in conflict and you never know who is shooting daggers at you behind your back. It takes a lot to trust somebody after that stuff.
