When you talk about dancers, are you talking about girls swinging around poles, ballet, 2 step or what? My husband and I dance occasionally (but only with each other)and I like to twirl the babies around the room. I don't see anything wrong with that.
When you talk about gold diggers are you talking about girls that expect you to pay for a date or ones that want to hold your wallet?
You might want to just start asking God to send you a wife and let him set the conditions. I have to warn you though, that I think He has a sense of humor:')
I'm talking about Pole dancers unfortuneatly. If I were talking about ballet, 2 step, ect, there'd be no problem LOL. I'm not aware of any Biblical foundation against dancing. Though, I respect parental rights to forbid it amongst their children. That's not entirely unwarranted. I can tell you a few stories; but, they amount to bumping into people in everyday life - twice on or near my own property. I met one a month before I bought my new house while her sister was moving in across the street from my old place. She was beautiful and somewhat taken with me - which should have been a clue that something was wrong LOL.

Sharing the cost of a date is dutch and makes me mildly uncomfortable; but, I can live with it. I prefer paying for a date. Gold diggers are interested in a man only on the basis of how much he makes - the more the better. And they largely are looking to see how much of it he'll come loose of while they're shopping for the next one. I could go on and on about this. They don't really want to hold your wallet - that doesn't matter to them, that it's empty and all going to them, that is the goal. And they are not always that easy to spot right off the bat. They often hide behind an appearance of traditional romanticism to ply themselves. Not an unfamiliar subject when discussing religions I might note..

God does have a sense of humor, he doesn't often joke with me though. He's usually quite serious. As when my home burnt to the ground. I had assistance from places I'd have never imagined. I lost everything and was given a new home - given. That came through prayer and was not specifically sought - ie I didn't say 'God I need a home, please give me one.' No, as a family we prayed that God provide a way for me in the face of the loss. The day after my home burnt I was given a mobile home. The same day a friend showed up and asked for my resume'. I'd been working in a commissioned sales environment and had no money because of the time of year and the fact that I was still paying off medical bills from having been gravely ill 5 months prior. A week after my home burned, I was hired to a salaried position where I'm surrounded by Christians and the management I have the pleasure to work with is the best I've ever worked for bar none. I largely have managed to get back everything I lost and three years later am in far better shape than before the fire. It is unending. I had no established credit because I didn't buy a car as a teen (couldn't drive one), and I don't believe in using credit cards. I bought my home with no money down and just made my third payment two days ago. Yeah, God does have a sense of humor; but, he is serious about mercy. I've seen a great deal of it. It is the devil that largely likes to play jokes - and they are usually not real funny till you look back at how they were overcome.
