Chev,

I can’t resist this one.

Number 1 reason “you are still single.”
  1. You know too much about canon law.
😃

Ok. I found it funny.
 
Oh, sorry, here I am! You type /quote ] to finish one and quote ] to start a new one (without the spaces). 🙂
Oooohhh…you have to type it out. :hmmm: Merci beaucoup. :tiphat: How about the quote box icon above the text box here…‘wrap around quote?’

Maybe I’ve read too maybe dating books. That it what I got for Christmas, tons of dating guides.
How insensitive some people are!

Dating guides as a Christmas present - people who did this would be off my Christmas present list if not my Christmas card list as well.

It doesn’t bother me. They know how miserable I am single, and they are just trying to help. 🙂
 
“Why are you still single?”
  1. Most guys aren’t into plain-looking, really thin females who have really small boobs.
  2. I’m not devout enough to be with a devoutly Catholic guy (I have absolutely no desire to have children).
  3. I’m not “fun” enough for the “regular” guys (I don’t drink & don’t want to engage in pre-marital sexual activity).
  4. I was totally shy & self-conscious when I was younger so I never hung around with more than just a couple of friends at any given time & definitely not guys.
  5. It rarely reaches this point since I have few opportunities to meet any new guys to talk to, but I must have some personality issues as well.
The worst thing about being single as far as I’m concerned is that I like to travel, and I’ve got no one to do it with. It’s not a lot of fun on your own, trust me. I also don’t enjoy attending any sort of function where most people are paired up with someone. It’s lonely & awkward. Honestly, it feels like there’s not really a good place in society for single Catholics who want to live the faith.

Maybe though its because she’s comfortable in her own skin. If your comfortable with yourself, no matter what your weight you might have an easier time attracting someone. But if your not comfortable with who you are its obvious. This being said I don’t think its fair to call someone shallow just because they want to be attracted to their spouse. I mean to be quite frank if your going to be with someone for the rest of your life, why not be attracted to them. Of course though things change and so do looks as well. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be attracted to the person your with.

This is so true. There’s nothing quite as attractive as the glow of a woman who’s smiling and genuinely having fun.

Two related worst things about travelling on your own
  • if you are on a tour/cruise you often have to pay a single supplement if you want a room to yourself
  • if you decide to share you may be lucky to get a compatible room-mate but you can also end up with incompatible people eg they smoke, their bodty closck is the exact opposite to yours and they hold political and religious views, that are the opposite of yours.
 
Why am I still single?

Well, let’s see aside from the fact that I am not currently dating at all:
  1. I am far more intelligent than most men.
  2. I used to be very shy and dorky around men (of course now that I am over this, I can’t currently date!)
  3. The ones my age (“over 35”) want younger brood mares.
  4. It’s almost impossible to meet one my age who hasn’t had a divorce or kids (I’ve had neither).
  5. And lastly, and most importantly…God hasn’t put him in my life yet. 😃
 
For the single women in this thread…are you mainly dating or seeking to date Catholic men? Are these your experiences with Catholic men? If so, that troubles me that their behavior is no different than secular men. (superficial) I know attraction is important–it exists between my husband and me…but, it seems like some of the Catholic women in this thread are being turned down before even given a chance based on age and looks by Catholic men, am I reading that right? :confused:

In my case, yes. Catholic men tend to act worse than secular men. Catholic men have no use for me (since I don’t turn them on). But from a secular man’s view, they could in theory, sleep with me. I would show them my kick boxing moves before that would happen 🙂
 
I am a single female who is not attempting to date any man, Catholic or not. No guys ever approach me so I assume I don’t have the “right look.” I have been told directly or had it implied that I was too skinny.

My guess is that Catholic men act worse than secular men because secular men aren’t necessarily looking for that one, life long partner. Catholic men are going into the relationship hunt with the knowledge that they can’t divorce and remarry, so they might be more interested in finding the “perfect” woman.

(I personally prefer secular men for various reasons that you guys likely won’t approve of so I won’t list them.)

Want to trade problems? I get rejected because I’m overweight. 😃 No one can win. In high school, my friends and I wished we could do fat transplants. 🙂

*That is a fascinating point, seriously. Hadn’t thought of that. But, should women be looking for the perfect man, too? There are no perfect people…and the divorce rate for Catholics is up there. So, something is off with the whole picture. *

I wouldn’t be surprised if Catholic women were pickier than secular women. The inability to divorce and remarry puts a lot of pressure on both sexes to find the one that will last.

But Catholic women have one thing working against them, there are more of them than Catholic men.

I WANT A PERFECT MAN! Can cook, dance, clean, sing, have a Phd, likes cats, will never grown old or gain weight, be rich, not cocky, knows how to have mind blowing sex, have nice car, not a workaholic. This is fun! Now I can reject guys becasue they don’t fit the list.
calls guys she met last night😃 HA HA HA Or maybe I should disappear on them?

*That’s sad, to me. I guess why I scratch my head is this…I literally bumped into my husband at a party once upon a time…lo and behold, he was a practicing Catholic, and we hit it off. I guess with all the dating sites out there now that narrow down the search for men and women who are Catholic, why are people having trouble finding that special person? Not that Catholic is the only criteria…there has to be more to bond two people together. But, what I’m saying is…being a devout Catholic, if someone doesn’t have the perfect body, should hold more weight. People seeking perfection shouldn’t get married…wow, they’ll be in for a rude awakening, which is probably why the divorce rate is so high these days, in all circles. It’s just hitting me after scrolling through these threads lately, how dire the situation is. *

*There are? How do you know? I’m curious. That’s interesting. I think Catholic single women should move to Alaska, isn’t the woman to man ratio like…1:10? 😃 *

As far as I know, statistically women are more likely to be religious and more likely to be conservative than men. (Conversely the atheist/agnostic crowd has more men than women.)

But walk into any Church, there are so many more women than men there. Young men are a rarity.
