Are Traditional Women too Choosy with Men?

[Crusading Philologist]

This thread has taken some strange turns, I have to say.

I see JayneK has been taking a lot of flak in this thread, so I just wanted to pipe in and say, I think just about all of your contributions have been awesome.  Same goes for yablabo, and Vox.  And I totally sympathize with kingtheoden over the criticism he has been taking.

And henceforth I will be adding to all of my posts in response to DocBombay (not that it's necessarily a lot) that I will pray for him.

I would like to apologize for creating this thread.  Its intended purpose was lost early, and indeed it was shaped in part by my pettiness.

Ultimately, God has forseen all and as we live the Faith, we must do nothing other than embrace the trials that the Father has directed or permitted to encounter us.  There is no place to whine and complain.

Most sincerely,

Great post, KT.  Although, I was reflecting, when one is suffering from rejection, there's no harm in looking for a little sympathy-- we all need that.

Sometimes women are too choosy, sometimes they aren't choosy enough.  I suspect that our side is to blame-- well, let's just say nearly as often. ;)  And all of us have to struggle with missing what's right under our noses.

But as you say, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.

For what it may be worth, coming from a loser 'holding the Old Maid card', if I was looking for a husband (if I was young, that is), I'd be impressed by one who went to confession frequently, and who was an altar server.
