Call me a starry-eyed optimist...

You're a starry-eyed optimist. There, I said it. :-P

Now, I too would like to think there are nice conservative women out there, ready for a lifelong relationship in which divorce is not an option. In my experience, I have seen a lot of sickness out there in this society, most coming from a lack of respect. A lot of folks out there seem to lack basic respect for themselves, for others, for family, and for our heritage. All of this I think is a result of a society that caves under the pressure of socialism and political correctness. We have become afraid to stand up and proclaim what is right, and what is wrong. Until we make a stand, this problem can only get worse.

With that being said, I believe my chances of finding someone compatible are slim to none, and that the "perfect" woman is just a fantasy. I realize that marriage and relationships are hard work, sometimes causing problems in need of two dedicated people to work through them. But it seems like most people out there are quick to blame others for their own problems and do not want to take responsibility for anything.

You said that marriage is not just about sex or kids. The truth is that people are selfishly going into the union without any concept of the big picture.

See my post #60. I don't think I said it as well as you did, but sounds like we're on the same page.

Try dating services. I know this sounds stupid but I have two friends who are happily married, one using a traditional service and the other an Internet service. If you go to a marriage-oriented service, you'll find people who actually want to get married and who usually want it to work.

Well after a generation of if it feels good do it, what do we expect really? There were some really bad seeds of selfishness sown and we are just reaping the harvest. There's hope, but it will require hard work and a deliberate move back to traditional family values. We have to step up to the plate if we want to change things.
