You, mister, are rude. Name-calling is unbecoming a gentleman, if that’s what you fancy yourself. 

During the time I’ve been a “trad,” I’ve lived in every conceivable type of area, world class city urban, midsize and small city, suburban, small town, rural, extremely rural. By birthdate, I’m considered a Boomer, however, I am not fat, materialistic, wanna-be aristocrat, asshole, or lazy. My parents from the Silent Generation were not from money and my Dad did not pretend to be a self-made man. We lived in an average house, ate simple, often homegrown food, owned one used car, didn’t have a color TV or cable, wore hand-me-down clothes from our cousins, rode hand-me-down bikes that Dad fixed up. I went to college on my own earnings, not my father’s. We kids were not spoiled. We worked after school from before it was actually legal. 
We stuck out in our Brady Bunch sort of community. So what? It gave us spines. 
If we exist, others must exist as well. 
Maybe quit looking at your trad chapel if the pickings are slim to nonexistent. Suitable women aren’t going to magically appear. There may well be single women out there who would like to be average stay-at-home wives and mothers, but are in college and careers because they don’t see another choice. 
It costs nothing to look and ask someone on a dinner date or to a barbecue or activity. If nothing comes of it, oh well. But maybe in the process, you’ll meet someone else or just expand your social horizons.

Your hand me downs are likely to be higher quality than modern stuff.

What pansy snowflake. You know your generation has a reputation just like Millenials. And many Boomers are like this. They are the generation with the highest net worth and spending power. I known Boomers who go on vacations and throw away money while their children suffer and live paycheck to paycheck. And I'm guessing you're the type who call young people lazy and don't work hard like the older generation bs. If claim to be an exception then why did you get offended and throw a fit? 

What’s wrong with dinner for a first date? Is it the fear of paying for her dinner if it doesn’t work out? Fear of being taken advantage of?


What are the modern “dating” principles you are talking about? I thought we didn’t like modern.

It’s been close to 12 years since I was in that stage of life and going out to dinner for food and conversation was perfectly acceptable (for someone my age at the time). The man happily paid for the meal and if it didn’t work out, no real loss. 

 We hope our daughters will find a spouse early on and leave our home straight to their husbands home or the convent, and we hope that their first stage of the courtship process will be spending time with our family, and she theirs, over dinner and games or something in the home.

Many unmarried women are out from under their parents roof though, and dinner just seems like a good option. Maybe going out for coffee or tea would be better? It is less formal I suppose.

Is McDonald’s ok as a first date if the man has to pay?

Also the more men they date the more comparisons are made. "Oh Paul Alan took me to Dorsia", it's ruins their expectations.

Did Paul show you his card? Did it have a watermark on it?

No wonder this (these) man (men) can’t find a wife!

Maybe they can't find a wife because these women are lost
