  • You do make it sound quite simple. : )
    .
    My questions:
    How old is the OP? How old are the ladies he claims pay him no attention? How stable is OP's life? (job? school? house? live alone? with parents? etc)

    Really good questions above. Probably the most rational post on the thread so far. I hope that the forum member who wrote the OP considers the questions.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

  • Try spending a bit of time with some of the older ladies... they have grand-daughters, nieces, etc... if you make a good impression it may open a few doors. Believe me, word of an eligible young man of good reputation spreads like wildfire. Good luck.

    ps- helping out in the kitchen or cleanup after Mass is one way to do this

    Nice to see you inadvertently reveal your ( and, generally, women's) hypergamous nature.
    Nothing wrong with hypergamy per say. Men and women both practice it, maybe women more so than men. I’d say the only time it becomes wrong, or sinful is when the woman is married, and she uses it as an excuse.

    Somehow this got accidentally attributed to me.  It was terminal ballistics who said it.

    But it reminds me of another cartoon/meme:

  • A young, pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:


     Title: What Should I Do To Marry A Rich Guy?


    "I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: What should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:


    "1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym).

    "2) Which age group should I target?

    "3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.

    "4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married).


    "Ms. Pretty."

    ----------------

    The reply:

     

    "Dear Ms. Pretty,


    "I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of 'beauty' and 'money': Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a 'trading position'. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or 'leased'. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself a rich person with $500k annual income by leasing yourself. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.


    "Hope this reply helps.

    Excellent ideas above. Young women at trad chapels tend to be reticent until they know someone. They often don't want to be forward. Taking time to volunteer, as is mentioned above, may help. It's possible that the fellow who wrote the OP hasn't been attending his chapel for very long. I hope that the OP is interested in attending things such as First Fridays and Saturdays. That means that he's serious about his spiritual life.

    Also, it's possible that some young women are not comfortable around someone who is good-looking. I'm not suggesting that the OP wear a sackcloth to Mass, but maybe trying to tone down the good-looking aspect might help.

  • In this thread I have seen a lot demands being placed on the man,
    who asked the question.  
    .
    Demands can also be placed on a woman who is looking for a husband.  
    .
    Our modern age has ruined women, even Catholic women.  Here is a
    true story which modern women will not like.  
    .
    Paul, the hermit, wanted to be the holiest person on Earth and asked
    God how he was doing.  God said, "These is one who is holier."  
    .
    Paul said, "Please let me meet this person so I can learn."  An angel
    escorted Paul to a house in the village.  
    .
    Paul knocked on the door and a woman opened the door.  Paul said,
    "Can I talk to you and find out why you are so holy?"  
    .
    The woman said, "Who me, I don't know what you are talking about."
    Paul said, "what is your daily routine? What do you do?"  
    .
    The woman said, "I just do my chores and whatever my husband
    tells me to do."
    .
    Paul said, "Thank you" and left.

  • Here is another story (fiction) which is relevant to this discussion.
    .
    There are two lines in heaven for husbands.  One is labeled
    "Hen pecked husbands"  and the other, "Not hen-pecked".
    .
    One has a line about 10 miles long (you can guess which one),
    and the other has only one man in it.
    .
    Two guys are talking at the front of the line and noticed the
    guy in the other line (the Not Hen Pecked line).  Joe says to
    Mike, "I wonder how that guy did it".  Mike says, "Go ask him".
    .
    Joe walked up to the guy and asked, "How did you do it?".
    The guy says, "Do what?" 
    .
    Joe said, "How did you prevent your wife from hen-pecking
    you?" 
    .
    The guy said, "Oh, she hen-pecked me a lot."  Joe said,
    "Then why are you standing in this line?"
    .
    The guy said, "What line?  My wife told me to go stand in
    this line."

  • Honestly, it's not some big scientific thing in my opinion. It basically just boils down to money.

    Anyways, I say you should try impressing women with your extensive knowledge of the Jєωιѕн-Masonic conspiracy.... my advice is almost certain to get you absolutely nowhere but I still think it's fun. Talk to her about how Jєωs control the media and of the necessity of "naming the Jєω". It doesn't tend to attract women but I think it's a lot of fun.

  • Conversely, if you ever want to immediately weed out a woman from your life, then mention Jesus Christ.

    The Holy Name of Jesus Christ is a Litmus Test to the worldly harlots & heifers. Once you mention the Lord, they will immediately distance themselves from you. This way you will know they were no good in the first place. You spared yourself a lot of trouble and wasting time.

    If they remain interested in you, then that could be a sign that they're worth pursuing, but it's still no guarantee. They could be more disciplined in their conniving.

  • How do you get along with the men in the parish? There was once a kid at my church who was so tense and aggressive that my husband joked that he'd probably produce a diamond if he ever ate coal. If this boy had spoken to our  nieces my husband would have steered them away from him. It could be that the dads, grandpas and uncles in your parish are not on your side.

  • Why would any man today in his right mind want to get married? Marriage has absolutely no benefit what so ever to men. Men, just put the Most High Jesus Christ first in your life. Secondarily, make as much money as you can and enjoy your life to the best of your ability. As men, our value appreciates as we get older, wiser and make more money. The value of most women depreciate as they get older and start to lose their looks. Men age like fine wine. Women age like sour milk. Unfortunately, a lot of men and women don't realize this until it's too late. Don't sell yourself short, guys. Put the Most High first, eat right, exercise, make as much money as you can, keep your circle small, invest wisely, and retire early. Have a zero tolerance policy for predatory & crazy females.

    I hope you are not serious about this. If you put the Most High first and not getting married, one typically has to actively work for his kingship, either in monastic life, missions, spreding His word, charities, etc.,  in other words, His servant. All other things in your list are self centered.
