So, hello.
It has come to Singles Ministry staff attention that there is some amount of issue with this particular forum. Now, I realize I'm not on staff, but I'm here anyways, hehe
Here is the basic issue. There are sorta two groups of singles: those that are content with being single (though not necessarily "not looking"), and those that are not content with being single.
Apparently, the two sides have an informal war. Ok, not really, but it appears there's a great divide between the two. For example, it would appear that the "discontent" ones sometimes get upset with the "content" ones when the "content" ones (who often seem to be a bit older ) tell the "discontent" that they ought to BE "content."
/me gives everyone a cookie for actually getting through that last paragraph.
Now, we could, of course, make two forums or something like that. But the idea of this forum was to give mutual support to each other, support and encouragement. Not have a divide or whatnot. So, staff decided instead that it might be a good idea to just be totally open in this case, and pose the question to you all, and hopefully discuss it to a fruitful end:
Do you see this divide; if so, what should we do?
If not, why do you think it is perceived?
Thank you.
