  • I’m sorry, I’m not sure what happened, but for some reason my post showed up twice in the same post and I can’t edit it. :facepalm:
    Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

  • This is a worthy topic of discussion because a lot of us here are raising children who will marry one day. I’ve been reading the responses and thinking about it off and on since this thread was posted, and have had several discussions with my husband over it...
    One of the best Cathinfo posts in recent times!  So true!  Thank you!  :cowboy: :pray:

  • "Women should marry when they are about eighteen years of age, and men at seven and thirty (37); then they are in the prime of life, and the decline in the powers of both will coincide."

    -Aristotle - Politics, Book 7, paragraph 2.  ( https://history.hanover.edu/courses/excerpts/165aristotle2.html )

  • I recently saw a comment online from an older women saying she got no attention from boys when she was in highschool or in her early/mid 20s, except only from older men leering at her. 

    There is wisdom here.

    When I was in my teens and 20’s, I got attention from both and the attention from older men disgusted me.

  • When I was 21, I went on a date with a 40 year old man.  He was financially well off (high level US Customs officer) but he seemed so old and ugly to me.  I just couldn't..............

    I also went on a date with a 30-something Korean doctor.  Again, I just couldn't.

    See women only like attractive guys. If those older men were handsome you would have liked them. But most guys aren't handsome. I've seen plenty of young guys who are old and ugly so I know most girls won't be happy with them.

    Wow. The father of Saint Pius X got married at 41 to his 20 yr old wife, he was a mailman.

    Would you be happy with an older unattractive woman?  In other words, men may have standards but it’s silly for a woman to want a man within her own generation?

  • Women are the weaker sex and thus more affected than men by fashions of thinking.
    What is "attractive" is something largely cultural. Each woman is different regardless of the epoch also.

    Happiness is not owed to us. Man or woman.

    I forgot to mention I eventually married a man 10 years older than me.  But I needed to grow up emotionally first.

    This isn't the same thing at all. A woman's fertility get destroyed by age, a man's does not. A man also needs to be able to provide for a family, the woman just needs to be obedient to her husband.
