Am I part of a dying breed?

[nebula]

Oh so that's what it is! I have the gift of singleness.

Is there a return policy on this gift??

That's a good one!

Maybe all the nice, single gals could help Mikado out by sharing the kind of places you "hang out".

I'm not qualified to help with this one.

Where should he go to meet "nice" girls?????

Paul also says in 1Corinthians 7:7-8,

[Mongo]

I'd like to know where all the good girls are!

I'd like to know where all the good girls are!

Well, my brother has a seven year old daughter. He says that he plans to keep her locked in her room until she's thirty!

(that's a joke, please don't call the Hotline)

All the nice girls are stuck at home typing on their computers, tired of the junk that they are met with in public. Pervs, dorks, and vain guys that can't keep their eyes on the qualities in life that are REALLY important. Can't go to the bars to pick up the good ones, cause well we dont populate bars.

Have you tried coffee shops, bookstores, Wal-mart even

The important thing in all of this is not what you are looking for. Instead of looking for Mrs. Right, ask yourself if you are Mr. Right. We need to be less concerned with what WE want out of someone else, and spend more time making sure that we measure up, and working on those things that need improvement. Love is not about what I want, but about what the other person wants. True love wants those things that make for their highest good and makes them happy, even to our own hurt. Love is not obsessed with wants and desires of self. Keep working on yourself and refining the rough edges. Just make sure you are ready when the right woman comes along.

This standard is impossible. The only person who has ever remotely met it is Jesus himself.

Sorry, but I'll be 90 years old and still not even remotely close to that.

I'm selfish.

Oppinionated.

stubborn.

lazy

etc,

etc.

and its not like you just flip a switch and any or all of those go away.

It is not an impossible standard, at all. It takes a discipline. The standard seems impossible to you, because you choose to remain selfish, over opinionated, lazy, etc. There is nothing impossible about daily renewing your mind in the Word of God and allowing Him to point out things in you that need to be gotten rid of.

I don't believe that God has one person pegged for you to marry. I have never believed that. I believe that God guides you in your choice, but if you are going to be selfish, then you will find yourself single the rest of your life. If you are insistent about inflating the value of your opinions, and you are not willing to put out the effort to be a desirable candidate for marriage, then you find yourself growing old alone. If you truly believe that God does not want anyone single, then you are effectively in rebellion against the Will of God, by making yourself an undesirable, and unqualifed candidate for marriage. God cannot provide you with a wife that you are going to verbally and emotionally abuse.

Love is the opposite of every quality you listed. You cannot just "flip a switch" and make those qualities disappear, but you can begin working on removing them out of your life, now. It is a path, a process, but not a one time event. You have a lot of work to do.

I admire a man who is strong enough to stand up for truth and justice, even when the crowd is against him; yet sensitive enough to share his truth in such a way as to not cause pain where it is not warranted----------and knows the difference.

You go girl!

This makes me one of the nice ones! I'm here behind the computer typing because I am so sick of men judging based on what I look like instead of who I am now. *sigh* Ok, done feeling sorry for myself.

Maybe volunteer work would be a good place to pick up a girl. I know that the places I volunteer are almost all female. Of course they are mostly much, much, much older females.

I agree. Volunteering is an awesome thing....guys! Go volunteer, help people and possibly pick up your future wife.

I have met very nice girls in the most unlikely places, and I have met very evil girls in the most unsuspecting places. You just never know. Right now, I got no one really important in my life, but there's a girl who I am her "boyfriend" and we chat or go hang out sometimes. Being 6'5" and 255 I tend to keep the pervs off her, and she doesn't mind seeing scary movies with me so it's a fair trade. And my ego gets a shot when I am with her and her friends. Something to be said being 39 and escorting 3 25ish y.o. females who buy your way and squeeze your arms to death when the killer jumps out of the closet. I think I am more like their dad, but only "cooler" as one of them put it.
