Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Would be especially interesting if you took people from the same community like CF Singles.
One reason why I might be single is because the first girl I fell in love with told me that no girl would ever want to be with me because I "had such an unattractive personality".
And this was a girl who was a compulsive liar, had no volume control, was a social outcast at my school, obsessed with anime and wanted a reputation for being sadistic probably from watching too much Elfen Lied.
Last time we spoke was 2013 which was years after she moved away to a city in a frozen wasteland she kept making out to be a paradise. She made new friends, started getting invited to parties and said she preferred her new friends than me. Sorry to say on her behalf, the honeymoon was soon over and it proved she wasn't the tough girl she thought she was. Many of her new 'friends' turned on her and made her life rough to the point where she attempted suicide by swallowing pain killers. She now has a bad liver that won't allow her to drink alcohol which just made her even more unpopular with her peers.
Karma is a female dog, isn't it?
Plus I question whether women are really worth it after seeing videos like these...
And the fact that she would lie to her boyfriend and get into a car with a total stranger because he's rich and handsome. This is also the same guy who made those social experiment videos where he masqueraded as a 15-year old boy on Facebook to lure young girls out to certain locations to prove that Social Media is a breeding ground for predators.
I hope her boyfriend watched the video. She has some explaining to do.
Someone told me the other day that the only reason they were able to marry is because they lowered their standards, and if I ever hope to find someone I have to do the same.
I am torn between this either being screwed up thinking or it was an insult.lol
We were talking about virtues like patience, being a gentleman, intelligence, responsible, etc.
Then in that case, don't lower your standards at all. There's a reason why divorces rates are sky high now.
My mother married the bad boy who liked to party but as soon as they had me, relations went downhill. They fought and fought and eventually divorced when I was 13. They still have bitter relations because my father had no sense of patience and responsibility.
My step-father, however, is incredibly calm, patient, wise and responsible and my mother is incredibly happy with him. My mother admits thought that if she met him during her younger years she would not have taken interest in him.
My heart burns from what your friends said. So they are pretty much saying their husband sucks and is not really what they wanted. But they are "forced" to marry their husband because there is no better options.
And in the same breath they are saying you aren't as good as you think you are. So you must lower your standards.
What an insult to you and their own husbands!
Are these women Christians? They are so lost they need to talk to a pastor who knows what it it means to love. If they think they are "so perfect" and their husbands are "so bad", they have no idea what happened when the perfect Jesus loved and died for the sinful Christians. They got some nerve to complain against their God given husbands this way. They don't realize that they themselves are sinners and, now that Jesus has forgiven them, that they must love their sinful husband.
Instead of asking "Is my husband doing good enough to love me?", why don't they ask "Am I doing good enough to love my husband?"
As for yourself, ignore what they say. What they said came purely from the world. There is not a single word there that is from God. You just focus on loving God, loving others and yourself. Go out and meet more new people, real life and online. And wait upon the Lord. =)
I've been doing some reading and thinking. I think it's time for a more serious answer...
I've chosen a life of celibacy out of circumstance. I've had a very bad history of relationships with people due to being on the autism spectrum, growing up in bad environments and being born into a time where face-to-face relationships are becoming obsolete. Based on this, it is guaranteed that I will die alone. No use fighting it because I do not want to fight anymore. My entire life with people, let alone the opposite gender, was almost pure conflict.
Some preachers say that God chooses some to live a life of singleness and solitude in order to perform a certain ministry. I wouldn't have believed this for myself if I wasn't born into these conditions. Some people on this forum may think I'm an angry, cold-hearted jerk but in real life I make effort to serve God in any way I can through compassion and generosity. If I had a relationship I would be experiencing earthly reward but miss out on Heavenly reward by neglecting what I do best. What I do best requires solitude unless someone else is willing to assist me in doing unpopular methods in raising money for the poor (collecting beer bottles and pop cans and playing FreeRice.com, for example.) I think the most unsettling thing that Jesus said was, "They've already received their reward." This is why I can no longer envy people who already have everything in life.
I'm a big believer in Bible Prophecy and that once we're out of here we will be rewarded based on our good deeds, sacrifices and suffering. My unstable life on Earth has taught me not to put faith in this world but instead work for a better life in Heaven. My citizenship there is guaranteed but before I can immigrate there, I have to earn my wealth and success. Kind of a bizarro twist on the American Dream. Once I'm in Heaven, things will be perfect and I will finally get the peace and co-existence that was denied to me in life.
Like I said before, you can call me a modern day monk. Living in a Cathedral doing services for God in austerity and solitude. I have mixed feelings on it but I'm confident that it will pay off.
If a girl likes you, she will make is very easy for you to date her.
I'm single because I'm smart enough to know that if I want loyalty and unconditional love, I should have a dog, not a GF.
