Quote from: Mabel

If you are worried about that, you don't need to think about getting married. You need to think about getting over yourself and your vanity. No woman in their right mind would want to marry a man who talks like that. Secondly, most guys think they are better looking in their own minds than in reality. How do I know that? I know and have known so many unattractive men who are holding out for a pretty wife. They are all 32-45, single, and have passed up all the good Catholic girls, in order to not settle for less.

You should be asking yourself how you can deal with the faults that are making you an undesirable match for a Catholic wife because that is why you haven't found one.

This pocket of good Catholic girls that are getting passed over, where are they ? Wanna drop us average but decent Catholic guys some hints ?!? :wink:

Quote from: songbird

Mercy Sakes! Love is in the Eyes of the Beholder! BUT, my son is 38 and not married but that does not mean anything, except he is looking for the right religion. Times are evil as we know. So, I just told our son to keep it to prayer and if God wants marriage for you, he will see to it.

Speaking for myself, I was CERTAINLY not saying anything about your son. There are plenty of men that just haven't found "the one" yet, and that can be for a variety of reasons. Some guys have a hard time getting established, some are very isolated, at least from a significant number of Traditional Catholics. Some are shy, have confidence issues, etc.

I have no problem with any of them.

I was strictly saying that I believe I've found InfiniteFaith's problem. Just the fact that he considers himself good-looking (which is very typical, by the way) and yet he's still single... that calls for a bit of a closer look.

The answer is simple.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
To do the things
that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Sax solo

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

Looks and the beauty of a woman should be very far down the list of things in a good spouse, but I do think you have to be at least attracted to them, or imagine (without sinning) if you will be attracted to them when married.

Looks fade, character lasts.

Looks only matter so long as YOU like the look of your spouse, regardless of what others may think. Trophy wives/husbands have about as much depth as that bowling trophy that sits on the shelf.

Read a chapter in the book of Proverbs everyday for practical advice on what kind of man to be and what type of woman to look for.
