I've noticed that money and looks are nice, but they are not enough to get a girl. What girls want is social proof. The social proof women seem to seek is a display of dominance. They can display this either directly or by a disregard for something dominant. So men can either be dominated by the women or they can encourage the women in their disregard for other people or institutions such as the church. You don't have to encourage them to leave the church, but you do have to support them when they say the church's stance on gay marriage is wrong.Gage wrote:Unknown wrote: ↑October 17th, 2017, 6:49 am A serious problem is making poor dating/marriage choices: Many make poor choices, choosing their dates/mates because of superficial things--it's surprising how many men will blindly saddle themselves with a pretty, young, immature high maintenance girl--because they were attracted to her and wanted a wife that would make their friends envious. Then, she turns out to be shallow and selfish, unprepared for the sacrifices needed to make a relationship work, making them and their mate miserable and regardless of whether the marriage survives or not--the man becomes bitter, resentful and makes the mistake of judging all women to be like their wife/exgirlfriend. Then, it's no wonder the men then can't find anyone interested in them--they have such a misogynistic attitude that comes across to women they come in contact with-- so, why would any sane woman want to take that on?
IMO, it's more attractive to remain single than have to settle for marrying a man who's problems prevent him from being a good husband and father and will make your life miserable.
Did you just blame a man for his wife's actions? Did I read this correctly? Men look for superficial things in a woman? So women are going around looking for the fat, ugly, poor guy? As young men in the church it was drilled into us that as long as we stay faithful, pay our tithing, honor our Priesthood, God would send us a beautiful, sexy, loyal wife. This is a load. Women are looking for the hot Alpha guy with the big house, and nice cars, the guy that has plenty of money to give her, if he is a faithful Priesthood holder- well ok that cant hurt anything. So what these Bishops should have been telling us was hey a few of you are gona grow up to be good looking rich men, you will have the beautiful sexy women falling at your feet, dont worry so much about how faithful you are, because you dont have to. For you other average and below average looking guys with temple recommends, good luck nothing in this life is guaranteed.
My theory is many LDS women are still single because they are trying to find someone who meets that criteria AND goes to church every Sunday.
