We are the resistance to Clown World, Matt!

Vox Day summarizes what someone else wrote and you literally confirmed from history

"We are strong. Our children are stronger still. Our grandchildren will be crusaders and inquisitors, whose ruthlessness in service to God and Jesus Christ will be the stuff of myths and legends for centuries to come.

Be the rock on which Clown World breaks. Because one day, the avalanche of justice will bury it beneath a mountain."

Good points. I try to be a good single man; even as I make efforts to meet and connect with good single women. I haven’t always kept the best company or been true to the godly man I know God would have me be.

But the thing from my experience; with albeit not that much to offer the single woman; is that I regularly meet commitment phobes. Women are just as afraid of commitment as it seems society is trying to impress upon us that men are reluctant to do this.

Women who’ve been hurt by previous relationships; don’t get over their hurts and are reluctant to trust guys again… and if they do enter relationships; they tippy toe their commitment fully expecting to be hurt again.

They don’t treat someone new and weigh that relationship on its merits… instead it gets weighed on all the baggage from their previous relationship failures.

Doomed to fail before they ever give it a genuine chance of success…

I’ve had a dozen ‘dates’ with some women and they don’t see me… they just see someone who doesn’t understand them or give them exactly what they’re looking for…

Even though it’s right in front of them…. They vent to me that their guy did not listen… I listen… and then they don’t listen or inquire of me…

The sheer narcissism I encounter in single women in their 40s is incredible and they spend all their time whining about being with narcissists who didn’t listen…

And still I listen… and still they don’t have time to inquire about what’s going on with me…

Is it any wonder singleness is harder and harder to end successfully in marriage; the older we get in our narcissistic society…

Yet still I listen… and friend zoned by these narcissistic commitment phobes who shall remain nameless who are terrified of making themselves vulnerable to someone who isn’t a narcissist… who does listen…

Your article makes good points about men needing to pursue marriage as an ideal relationship end even with its potential problems and in a sense overcome the fear of commitment. Not that I see older women doing this either from my perspective.

But I do accept my perspective is far from the only one and is not necessarily valid to anyone else.
