Single and lonely.

Basically,Pentecostals require women to wear long skirts and wear their hair long.And men are required to wear jeans

Really? It's an actual requirement?

What's wrong with having short hair?

I guess it might not be too late to still be single. There is a girl I text sometimes with who might be single but is not married from Church who is only one year younger than me.

I meet her when she came up to me during a party a couple who is not at the Church no more. This was pre Covid.

I think it is too late

Well Even before I was born again,
I myself have always found a particular beauty in a woman who wears a dress or long skirt?
I like the way they flow and how ever so often they might give a glimpse into her curves and shape?
not to mention the elegance such clothing has,
When it comes to "jeans" i myself prefer mine 'baggy'
Long hair is beautiful<3
as someone that used to have long hair and is now bald and balding, perhaps I'm just biased?
I'm a Poor guy so I try to stay away from Churches that have a standard for Dress as my best is barely better than Rags anymore
Modest Dress is More appropriate for Christians and Church alike,
Though that's Just My 'opinion'

Very few girls in my chruch wear skirts and the few that do are married. The rest actually dress like me, sloppy sweatshirt and sloppy jeans.

You don't go to my church do you?

 

[Lost Witness]

nothing wrong with a sweatshirt.

No, I don't. Actually, many of them wear sneakers too.

I think the one time you shouldn't wear tennis shoes and baggy clothes is at church. We had a member of the clergy point this out to people in the congregation. It was a tongue in cheek remark. Trying to tell people...in the nicest way possible to not dress like in such clothing.

 

[DragonFox91]

All the churches I've ever attended have 12-2 guy-girl ratios, so hard to tell what the girls in their 20s & 30s are wearing to church.

There was a new article about marriage in my state for 2022 I just saw.

Average age for men married now 30. Average age for women married now 27. Average age for men married 10 years ago 26. Average age women married 10 years ago 23. Was even younger 10 years ago before that.

BUT I think marriage & other items like dating & co-habitation w/out marriage are 2 separate things so singles who want to get married or date but aren’t, they shouldn’t see those numbers as signs people are losing interest in the concept.

Another stat I found interesting is only 3% of marriages in my state in 2022 were gay weddings. So gays are just choosing not to get married & have even less interest than straight people, or the number of gays really is as small as it’s been recorded dating back decades.

I do not remember any more statistics.

What's wrong with "baggy" pants?
Mind you my definition to 'baggy' doesn't mean
sag, it means jeans larger than my waist, which don't reveal as much..
sorta like a 'legged' dress for a man

Personally I see nothing wrong with wearing jeans to church and keeping it casual ( so long as the jeans are not skin tight- for both genders

<nods>

You want the focus to be on God and not your own body.

Absolutely Agree 100% with both

 

[Tony Ramirez]

Even most women in my neighborhood wear jeans, sweat top and sneakers. So it's not just a church thing.

I have to trust for now I am best single & someday God may give me the opportunity w/ a girl.

 

[DragonFox91]

I will never be able to date & get married

Your optimism about trusting the Lord sure lasted.

Same here. No matter where I go or what I do I only run into woman who have a boyfriend or a husband.
