[QUOTE="Arcite, post: 1515280, member: 13594"] My own experience is perhaps unusual. In my twenties I was a very shy conservative Christian who was easily intimidated by the secular world. I wouldn't have dreamed of even trying to go out to bars and clubs and fornicate, but I wasn't making a realistic effort to find a Christian wife either, because I was totally consumed by oneitis for this girl I'd met at a Bible study and thus was completely uninterested in even taking any opportunities or putting myself in situations where I might meet other girls. Maybe my perspective is skewed, maybe it's sampling bias, but that's what I see among the younger generation today. I also have to say that in my early thirties, I was part of a large, active young adults church group, and the pickin's there were slim (in terms of actually attractive, slender girls looking to settle down.) In the conservative Christian subculture, the good ones get taken in college. While we're at it, though, I also call BS on this idea that young women today are desperate for decent men and are going to flock to older masculine men because millenial/Gen Z men are all soyboys. I have no doubt soyboys exist, but every time I pass through the "hip" areas of my city where the twentysomethings go to "go out," I see no shortage of hot young girls with Chads their own age, square-jawed guys who look like Division I lacrosse players named Brock. When I was a twentysomething virgin whose only desire was to marry a cute twentysomething conservative Christian girl who believed in traditional marriage, I often felt I'd have much, much more motivation in life if I could be assured I was going to achieve that.
