Actually you and my son sound like yall have something in common. He wants one with no kids or baggage either but he is expected this perfect woman to be able to run a 10 minute mile too !(I am not joking). Yall are being too picky. God may decide to send you a good woman that has had a rough time and needs a good man. And yes she may be catholic :').
Heck with that - run a ten minute mile. I'm not sure I could do that. I'm so out of shape I'm almost certain I cannot - Might make 13. LOL. That is a little excessive. I have to admit, I am picky. I don't mind baggage as bad as I let on, I want kids of my own though. And taking on others at this point in my life would mean I'll likely never have one of my own. That isn't acceptable. Not if there's even a remote chance to experience the birth of my own child.
I've been through a lot in my life - more than my share of bad women and not enough good ones. I've been walked on enough to have had my fill long ago. And I've little sympathy for gold diggers. I won't be unequally yolked with someone from another faith; so, if I marry a convert, it will happen long before we march down the isle. Marriage is a commitment, not an experiment. And there will be no retraction from me on divorcees. Between faith and that, there is a line that will absolutely not be crossed. That is required pickiness. And with it I shall not bicker ;)
I was going to stay out of this discussion but since Cindy threw her 2 Cents in so will I:), especially since my name has been mentioned.
Where are you looking for this perfect woman? Do you go to church? Look there.
