You're right about women now being the aggressors, which for a traditional, romantic gal like myself, makes dating kinda hard when the guys expect to get jumped within two weeks of dating (if not the first night).

The aggressor type women ruin it for everyone. They're the kind that if I ask them out, I get a good tongue lashing if I'm not good enough for them, which pretty much means all of them. As a result, I generally just don't ask women out. The turmoil that seems to be associated with it these days just doesn't seem to be worth it anymore.

Everyone kind of knows in their mind what they're looking for in a mate. Given what I seem to have to choose from, the only things I'm looking for are 1) She's a Christian and 2) she doesn't drive me to madness. It's amazing how hard it is to find those two in combination.

Not to worry. You aren’t the only one(s) who have figured it out.

Try not to blame women in general. After all: we were sold a bill of goods that started when I was little. That women should work and earn as much as men, that we can and should have career and family and let the ‘village’ raise our kids. That freedom of choice is a good thing.

So finding a good Christian ‘should’ mean that you find someone wise enough to ‘buck the trends’ and live by the proper code. Hang in there, James.
