This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

Maybe by thinking of women as people and not wives? Hooking up & hanging out with people until one sticks has been the only way for me. Though to be fair the only two really good jobs I've had were temp to perm too.

Approach it like fun, see what happens.

    Lol omg... this is priceless. Hypersensitivity is what this is. Somehow you have assumed "wife" to be offensive?

    You have to be a young guy trying to white night this crap like this. I blame the public school system...

    Sorry...

    I am a woman, a mom, a wife, and certainly not young. But you can't just go around trying to immediately wife people. You have to meet as individuals and see how it goes, and it's husband and wife, not "find me a wife" or "find me a husband". You can't know that until you know the person as a person.

    (And by all means, continue blaming factors other than yourself, when the only one you actually have some control over is yourself.)

    Im sorry, I didn't mean to be a rude ass hat. First, who hurt you? You're making a whole mess load of assumptions. Im not blaming any other factors, again, I just haven't felt any pressure to get married really, so far. Im not "immediately trying to wife" anyone... save your lecture for someone that might need it, and stop assuming crap.

    It was just the "send me a suitable wife" comment, and your post history, my sincere apologies if somehow I have misconstrued all of that.

    I think i hear it now, its the "suitable" part I think. If I made a revision it might say: Lord, help me find a women whom I can deeply connect with on many levels, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. A women whom I can cherish and admire and desire, respect and support....

    So maybe "suitable" was the wrong word...
