Whatever happened to finding a woman in the real world? Church, the gym, a bar?
Church is the absolute worst.
The girls and women would only look for the "perfect" men because they have been raised under the delusion that God had already selected their husband and he will be "perfect for her." Often they'll use the stupid phrase "waiting for my Boaz" which really meant waiting for a rich guy. If I had a $ for every time I heard that, I'd be Boaz.
Also, if you ask a woman out at church, and she turns you down, you're done at that church when it comes to meeting someone. They all talk, and they all know you asked her out. Ask out another one a year later, and she'll remember and take offense to it because it means you see her as "second best."
A lot of "church ladies"…especially in the 30yo+ range spent their 20's getting run through by Chad. Once they decided they wanted to quit the party life, settle down and have children they magically "found God". Jesus may forgive them but the Devil's in the details of their past, along with the associated trauma and baggage.
The real issue is a lot of these women haven't really self reflected or if they have they are looking at the wrong thing. For instance they might decide "I'm not going to sleep with a guy until we are married" but have a body count in double digits. Sorry but that horse left the barn and you are charging new car prices for a used vehicle.
Many of them are more focused on how they want more out of men now that they have burned through their prime years in their early 20's sleeping around or making mistakes. What they need to do is self reflect on how THEY can be a better wife and what they can bring to the table that a man would want. Men aren't looking for a boss babe, they want a woman that is soft and feminine and supportive. Be a partner who complements what a man wants and understand that we all have flaws. In short be humble and self reflective. The easier and far more common path is to push on to whomever you are dating all the things that you want because they weren't there in prior relationships, essentially baggage. The new guy didn't treat you wrong or make those mistakes with you yet he gets to pay the bill and a guy with value isn't going to put up with that. If a woman can self reflect and take responsibility for mistakes she made and understands her value then it can work but that's not common.
As a side note I'm a firm believer that one of the biggest issues is so many women didn't have strong father figures growing up. Many had none or they had a father that just treated them like a princess and let them get away with anything so they think that is what their husband should do, certainly TV is filled with the "Desperate Housewives" types that the woman gets to be a super materialistic loon and the man's job is just to finance everything and put up with whatever crap she does hoping he can get laid every once in a while. I love the show "Landman" but the women in that show exemplify this as well. I watch that and think to women who model after that, "Do you just want to have multiple divorces and never have real love with a stable family that adores you?" I mean that's where that path will lead virtually every time.
