Comments off of a local Christian Singles, Facebook page, where I have had some debates with some attempting to lead over the years...

Desire and ability to have children is a significant factor for a lot of guys, who were unable to marry young.
Russ Murray
Nailed it sir, generally, in the Church, in my circles, I have found often men over 35 that had a younger wife and children, if they had to do it again, state they would date and marry someone their age.
Some of us over 35, are fine with dating/marriage within our age and some would like to have dating and marriage options with someone younger...
But this is generally not how it is done in Western society, so for some, such as myself with a PhD in Theology and Philosophy,(very philosophical) that is not six pack, this makes the pool in the Christian community tiny. IMHO, this explains why some men do not 'man up'. Sure, some are not showing initiative, but I reason others are just discouraged and therefore being more pragmatically disinterested. It is not worth it, they deduce.
I do agree, in Christ, men should also seek to be better...
On my blogs, I have expressed my concern with the attitude of some in the Church that overly embrace market value dating (MVD), as in one should date someone of same age, same level of looks etc...This is more so, people in the Church embracing worldly standards. When I look at the Bible, it seems that mutual spiritual, intellectual and physical attraction should be what is embraced theologically. When those in the Church attempt to push to an extreme MVD on us (John Wee Howard James Bartel and myself) have found it offensive and discouraging.
Aged men (mentally and physically unable) would seem to be men disqualified from marriage and having children, based on a biblical worldview, not simply hitting a certain number.

Gina Leanne Cia yes some people need to grow into it. Perhaps some men are slow at this and this is why many men can procreate at later ages. God knows.
Russ Murray
Kattia FG One has to be fit and youthful. As I noted...not aged.
Russ Murray
Yes, winning is being within the close to perfect will of God, single or not. Thanks James Clarke
Russ Murray
Gina Leanne Cia yes, I have seen such studies, Age is a factor, and another reason why a youthful older man alone is a good prospect. Youthful in many ways. 'Experts said that the finding was hardly reason to forgo fatherhood later in life, though it might have some influence on reproductive decisions.' Did I mention I walked outside for a couple of hours in the heat today in Vancouver? My head says it is (hot), but the kingpin stood tall..
Russ Murray
Chucky!!! Look what you caused!
Russ Murray
If I could just find that female PhD in Theology/Philosophy with the kingpin bod, I could play by the Market Value Dating (MVD) rules. Of course, this is a major unsupported assumption that we would have mutual attraction. (John Wee Howard James Bartel) Possible, but not supported.
Russ Murray
Kattia FG: I have studied this topic since 1999 online...
Gina Leanne Cia
Remember Russ Murray! I'm a huge theology nerd despite having a mere 1yr certificate. Today, I was thinking of how St. Athanasius would dismantle Oneness Pentecostalism.
Russ Murray
Gina Leanne Cia: Boyd did....
Klaus Von Chuckles
Russ Murray: lol
Klaus Von Chuckles
Gina Leanne Cia: I was laughing about Russ’ reference to his MVD female match.
