		<description><![CDATA[If there are more eligible women than eligible men, should we conclude that women are generally close-minded with a fixed perception of eligible men while men are generally open-minded with an ability to find any woman attractive?

Perhaps we&#039;re just rehashing Darwin.

In my experience, older women are 90% likely to sleep on the first date while 20% of younger women are likely to sleep on the first. The sex drive of men tends to decline with age and the sex drive of women tends to increase with age. Again Darwin. Men try to procreate as much as possible with the young and able while women get desperate to procreate when they are no longer young and able.

Oddly, the older I get, the more attractive I find all women to be even though my sex drive as decreased. Back to perceptive abilities.

Divorce is so high because we dismantled the social constructs that were designed to fight genetic traits to better raise children.

Left to genetics, women will date out of their league and find themselves later a single mom, divorced, heart-broken, and and with genetically superior children.

I hope the human race is smarter and both men and women would learn to have an open-mind and see all people as perfect. It really is all about perception.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From an old Church instruction manual (dated from the 70&#039;s) there was a fairly odd and conspicuously politically incorrect statement and instruction regarding dating.

It effectively said that instead of finding fault in your spouse or (prospective spouse), you should instead thank them for their fault or deficiency...why??  Because if they didn&#039;t have that fault or blemish....you wouldn&#039;t be &quot;good enough&quot; to marry them, and they would &quot;marry up&quot; as it were...So the next time you feel like nagging your spouse about their fault, give them a hug instead and thank them !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a good book for anyone who looks at the problems of modern love as being the fault of the opposite sex: Self-Made Man, by Norah Vincent.

I recommend it for any single in or out of the church. It is an education for our times, and quite entertaining.

Yes, she is the lesbian who dressed like a man for 18 months and came back with behind-the-lines information beneficial for both sexes, of any sexual affilliation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I prefer the lemon effect theory.

In it women are compared to the used car market.

Basically the inability to tell lemons from the good women drives all the good/nice men from the market, and then the absence of good men drives good women to flee the dating market.  Leaving only the &quot;lemons&quot;- sluts and players engaged in hookup dating.

Basically it&#039;s all men&#039;s fault for their inability to tell the difference between a good woman and a fake.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We joke ... but my last 18 months of being single, I only dated with girls with cars.  Shallow, yes.  Warm and snug transporting my mac-and-cheese home?  Yes.

(Plus, I was kind of waiting for this one girl to get home from her mission, and had no intentions of getting married for at least a couple of years, so it didn&#039;t really matter who I dated, right?)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good point, queuno. I have thought on more than one occasion that if I had some extra cash, I’d buy up some of those old houses right around that 600 N. 400 E. area and then plant a small 24 hour grocery store and a fast food place right there. You’d make back you’re full investment within a year. Guaranteed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have we really reached the place that we take this &quot;bidding&quot; thing as acceptable? No wonder one-third of the Church is single.

I think that this is the act of justifying high-school dating crap. Boys date girls they think their other male friends will think is hot. Girls try to look hot and sexy...for eachother.

This view of love is somewhere between an auction-block and a fun-house in a nightmare.]]></description>
