All of the malcontented males here, who imagine that they are Conservatives , don't have a leg to stand on, when bemoaning the fact that they can't find any " nice " girls and refuse to even think that getting married is a " good " idea. I've read your juvenile diatribes about the court system, divorce, etc. and since some of those posts are written by never married men, it's all just solophistic drivel. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO OFFER ANYWAY ? Truth be told, from what I've seen of the replies you guys post, the answer is NOT A HECK OF A LOT ! You come off sounding juvenile, selfish, miserly, and completely uninviting.

My biggest complaint with where our society has arrived is that it is hard to meet people anymore. Maybe I don't have anything to offer, but I rarely find a single woman to give an opportunity to make that judgment fairly. I don't know where I could go to meet women in a situation that would allow us to get to know one another in a positive way. The "cold sell" in a supermarket or other public place is a bad gamble. I can understand her not wanting to allow a complete stranger to know anything about her, and I have to wonder about the wisdom of a woman who would give a guy her number in that situation. I've had very bad luck in churches and generally found that they are oriented towards people sitting in the same room listening to a preacher and not to people being around one another and hearing one another speak in a way that builds friendships. I don't think health clubs were ever great places to meet people. The list of things that were supposed to work but didn't goes on and on. The problem is not just for me. I've had many friends who had the same problem.

If recognizing that meeting people is difficult these days makes me not a conservative in your eyes, so be it. I've had so many people tell me that I can't be a conservative because I don't agree with them on some issue that I find it hard to care anymore. However, I will continue to recognize the problem.

It has been a problem ( meeting people ) for a long time, now; especially in a big city. It wasn't all that " easy ", when I was young. I do know what you're talking about.

Don't you have friends, who have friewnds, and you all get together ? A good way to meet people, is at the home of a friend. Sometimes work is a good place; though that has risks. Adult Ed classes ( especially in subjects that you're interested in ! ) is another place to meet people with like interests.

I was saying that men ( it's usually men here ), who post reply after reply, on thread after thread, about how awful women are, how terrible marriage is, how they won't ever marry anyone, come off as spoiled ninnies and certainly NOT Conservative. Since you haven't said that you want the milk, without buying the cow, my comment doesn't apply to you.

I was serious , when I postulated that those guys have very little to offer a woman; let alone a " good " woman. I know that most threads like this one, have posts claiming that girls / women only want " bad boys " ; but, I know many young women who don't. They want interesting, kind men, who will treat them well, and hopefully marry them.

I wish that I could be of more help, but it's really up to YOU . :-)
