Mormon SINGLES: why aren't single Mormons over 30 marrying?

Post by _Daheshist »

I've been around single Mormons for over 30 years. In Young Adult Wards and Single Wards. Single's dances, etc. I am 51, and still single. Generally, Mormons over the age of 30 who are still single fall into the following categories:

Women:

Hold-outs: Mormon women who expect to marry a rich man, but are not pretty enough to procure one. They think they get more valuable with time, like cheese or wine. The men they seek marry, wealthy active LDS men, marry the 18 year old sexy air-heads, so the HoldOuts are only fooling themselves when they think "aging" only makes them more desireable to the rich men. The exact opposite is true.

Left-Overs: Mormon women who are fat (obese), ugly, too old, or deformed. Or, in other words, 90 per cent of all single Mormon women over 30. Nobody wants them.

MEN:

DonJuans: Single Mormon men who get SO MUCH SEX as it is, they feel no pressure to marry. They're having too much fun. I was roommates with several DonJuans and a friend to another. Believe me....they are DROWNING in sex, all young attractive active Mormon women and girls.

Losers: Single Mormon men who are poor and probably always will be. The No'er-do-Wells. The Hold-Outs won't marry them, and even these men don't want to marry the Left-Overs.

That is why there are so many LDS singles over 30.

I didn't see anything indicating how many or why so many, just a description of who they might be.

Are there Single's dances in the Dahesh religion?

There are perhaps 300 Daheshists in all of North America, and about 2000 in Lebanon and the rest of the world. The only time singles dance in Lebanon is at weddings, land men dance with men and women with women.

Well it seems LDS men better appreciate the wives they have. A divorce might propel them into this social group. hahahahaha

Darrick is poor, and lives in a motel where he has to care for his sick elderly Dad. His life is not good.

Hi Darrick! I hope you have a good day for once, and find something to make you smile.

There was an article recently (If I recall correctly) that was written on the back of a few talks, firesides etc bemoaning the fact that there was an increasing number of single sisters reaching 30 something without the blessing of marriage.

I think it was Monson that laid the blame at the door of the young men. Who, Monson claimed, we're too busy having a good time just hanging out and concentrating on jobs and cars and holidays etc.

He was exhorting the young men to give up their good time days, stop worrying about money. Stop trying to find Miss Right and find, instead Miss Compatable.

Tough sell that.

What exactly do you bring to the table?

Also: Hot Women Over 30

P.S. I recommend turning off the music.

P.P.S. Please note that observing that Jenny McCarthy is "hot" does not equate to denying that she is a raving lunatic.

P.P.P.S. OMG, Ellen Pompeo is hot.

P.P.P.P.S. So is Dana Delany.

I’m not married because I don't like sharing my cereal.
