Hey guys,

I’m posting this as a questionnaire,so something I notice in society is the extreme lack of Christian sisters who are looking for a guy.Most if not much of the girls I see,encounter,or converse with are either ungodly women,fornicators,unbelievers,or of other religions(preferably saying faith).

I’d also like to add,that though God doesn’t approve of it and forbids it;since I often hear stories of Godly women marrying agnostic or atheist men,I WOULD(though never will because of Gods holy commands)marry multiple Christian women so they wouldn’t have an ungodly spouse,absolutely not for the sake of “multiple sexual wives”.

The sad thing is,there are so many ungodly women around me that it’s painful to witness.I know church is a place,but where are all the Godly ladies?

Yeah I don't think that happens as much as you do. If Christianity is important to the lady in question she is not likely to marry someone like an atheist, maybe a nice agnostic but not an overtly god hating person. Besides all that, career and the ability to provide is an issue, and a lady could easily pass on a nice Christian guy where that is questionable in favor of a decent nonbeliever that has a good career.


Unfortunately, some people need to convert their future spouses. A number of stories of people I have met that met their wife as an unbeliever to start with. Or perhaps the person has to change their Christian officiation from one end of Christianity to the other (from Catholic to Protestant or Orthodox or the other way around, or some other kind of denominational or theological switch). It helps to have someone be unhappy with their faith or church tradition but takes a shine to yours.

The Bible is clear it's fair to ask questions like where are the godly?

If across the board men are reporting at churches the guy:girl ratio is 12:1 across the board, it's a fair question to ask: Why is it so disproportionate?

If I go to dating sites, & there's a lot of 'I don't believe in your dumb God" (and worse then that w/ profanities), that's an issue.

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

I find it hard to believe that that ratio is anywhere near true, though. Even if it somehow is, it's not like that there's something to blame the girls for in that. Maybe they are just more desirable romantically by the guys than the guys are by girls. That's okay.

When one brings up a topic like this on the Internet saying things like "No good girls available!", I'm sorry but it just reeks too much of a sense of entitlement.

I will put this blame on guys: we weren't prepared at all for these disproportionate numbers & how to compete w/ the secular guys out there. Instead we were given fake advice like 'go to church & you'll meet one.' My family thinks it's that simple

Women outnumber men in church attendance in every Christian sect. There’s no shortage in the pews. The majority are married, dating, or not looking. Equating unavailability and disinterest to a glut of ungodliness is misleading.

Lack of dating opportunities isn’t the culprit. It’s the absence of spiritual maturity and inability to read the time. If you were alert you’d see the correlation between current events and your circumstances.

We have 20 concurrent calamities taking place in America. New ones crop up every month. You’d have to be blind not to recognize something is working against you. A wise man sees the storm and prepares. He doesn’t wait until its at his doorstep and panic.

You need more time in the Lord’s presence or you’ll become embittered. A lot of you are heading in that direction. You’ve given place to anger, frustration and resentment and your words convict you. And you’re developing a stronghold.

Be careful what you say about your sisters. It’s usually a woman who prays a man through challenges. They’ll listen to your problems. They’re equipped with an ability to believe the unseen in ways men can’t. She’ll see your potential before you do.

So build wisely. Don’t destroy opportunities before they arrive. Get your mind and heart on God’s page and stop blaming women for your singleness. You can’t tear them down while asking Him to provide a spouse. He won’t move until the bitterness and unforgiveness are addressed. And for most of you that’s the starting point.

While I didn’t name anyone in my response I appreciate your courtesy and clarification. The topic is difficult and I empathize with those struggling. But the spirit is wrong. We can’t allow unfulfilled desires to permit us to slander others.

An inability to find a companion doesn’t equal a proliferation of ungodliness and unequal pairings. It’s a mental fallacy. You can’t reach that conclusion with those parameters. You need more to go on.

And if you’ve never had a partner you can’t say most women are ungodly or connecting with unsaved men. You have nothing to draw from and haven’t experienced them beyond attraction.

You have to go beyond that to discern someone’s character and spiritual maturity. And you can’t do it from afar. You need time in their presence to observe your spirit’s response to theirs. That’s contingent on your maturity too. You may be enamored with other things which blind you to the truth.

Interacting with someone as a friend or acquaintance differs when mutual attraction exists. There’s more intimacy and openness. You’ll have conversations you won’t have with others. And see behaviors that don’t come out elsewhere. That’s how some can be a saint in church and hell elsewhere. You don’t experience that side of them.

You need to see people behind closed doors so to speak. Outside of religious and work settings. Because they’re likely to behave better than they would otherwise. That’s why you’re advised to observe their behavior with the needy and service staff. Situations where they aren’t required to do the right thing. Or when they’re upset, frustrated, and disappointed. That’s when the real you shows up.

The bible tells us to test all things. I’m not encountering droves of Christian men cast aside for unbelievers. The union in itself is a failure of discernment. You shouldn’t be attracting them or find them appealing. If you are you you’re the problem.

Once we move past the physical the conversation settles it. Our words, behavior and mindset bear witness to our philosophies. It shouldn’t take long to realize we’re looking at oil and water. We know it because the signs are there.

There’s a correlation between attraction and presentation. We’re sending signals and drawing the same. If the other is on the wrong frequency ask why? You get oddballs now and then. But it shouldn’t be a steady stream.

If you’re spiritually hot you shouldn’t attract lukewarm women. They’re not after a man chasing holiness. Because they’re incompatible. They want someone spiritually permissive who compromises like they do.

Overstatement is commonplace. Everyone prays an hour, reads the bible daily and so on. But the devil is a lie. Because the more time you spend in His presence the faster the demolition…breakthrough…deliverance…etc. The immersion causes it.

When you have a zeal for God the conversations are meaty and you recognize your kinsmen. There’s a lot of rhema and less worldliness. They encourage holiness and support you when you’re struggling. They don’t lower the bar or suggest you do the same.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband. And what is a crown? A reward of victory or mark of honor. Someone who walks the walk and talks the talk whose bearing is a badge of distinction. Would you recognize her if you saw her? That’s the question every man should ask.

Yes,I understand,I try not to attract ungodly womens attention,my answer if one asked to date me would be,”unless you’re a child of God the answers no”.There have been girls in the past who were and are ungodly and were attracted to me.But I never perused a relationship with them because they lacked of relationship with Jesus.Hopefully this post isn’t offensive to any girls.I wasn’t intending it to perpetrate women even in the slightest bit.i understand what you’re saying though,the only way you’ll know if a girl is truly godly is behind closed doors.

"When one brings up a topic like this on the Internet saying things like "No good girls available!", I'm sorry but it just reeks too much of a sense of entitlement."

There is nothing entitled about wanting a decent society where we can meet our soul mate and marry as the good Lord intended. Is wanting a society where people are not killing each other or stealing from each other "entitled" ? Of course not, that is absurd.

To be angry with the forces that have caused this miserable state of affairs is not entitled in the slightest. Especially when we grew up being told that the world worked when it clearly does not.

I would quote The Dirty Jobs here to make the point, but I am not sure if the language is allowed. Those familier with the song know exactly what I am talking about though.

I think the problem is pretending like such good girls don't exist as if one is entitled to a girlfriend. As Bella said, there are plenty of good, Christian girls out there. Indeed, more women go to church than men.

I have seen little to no evidence of that in the real world.

First off, I would be very interested in what that statistic looks like when broken down by age and marital status. Yes, I see churches full of women....in their 70's,80's,90's but not full of eligible 20 something's.

Second, merely going to church does not make one Christian, and many young women that do go to church do so as a social club, not because they behave in a remotely Christian fashion.

Then I guess we have different experiences and that's okay. I've been to many church stock full of young adult women in singles and young adult groups. They were all single. They were all wondering where all the good Christian men were.
