Lack of Marital Prospects
Reasoning:
(why should this be covered)
What should devout Christian men in modern America do about the lack of marriageable women? I was wondering if you could comment on each of these strategies:
- Dating women from other major “traditional” Christian denominations (e.g., Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Presbyterianism, etc.)
- Temporarily moving abroad (e.g., to Eastern Europe) to where feminism is not as pervasive, find a European woman who speaks English, and bring her back here
- Dating Anabaptist or Mormon women who grew up under male authority
- Dating women who have lapsed in their faith, yet may still have maintained their purity
- Dating women with some type of learning disability that has prevented her from attending college
- Dating “half-damaged” women who may have retained some aspects of purity, but not all aspects
- Dating women who have a small percent of non-White admixture. Is this ever acceptable? If so, do you have a recommended cutoff (1/8, 1/16, etc)?
In the Stone Choir episode entitled “A Young Man’s Life”, you seem to advocate approaching baristas and cashiers, yet my experience has been that approaching women already puts you in their frame (e.g., they see you as needy or desperate). Should I just be content with being single? I’m at the point where I really think it’s better for me to just focus on myself and not actively try to pursue women who don’t seem to be interested in getting married anyway.
