If Dating Profiles Had Wisdom

[Wynona]

Hi, my name is Sara. I'm 23 years old and live in Chapel Hill, NC. I added a flattering non-selfie photo of me to show that I take care of myself, look feminine, and honestly dress like I could be someone's wife already.

I skipped college to avoid debt and political agendas and currently work at a grocery store but my goal is to become a wife, have kids and sell my art from home.

My hobbies are video games, painting, and honestly just holing up in my room because I'd rather chill at my apartment then be bothered with most people. I lean conservative politically so feel free to share some based takes on how American culture's circling the drain and how we ought to return to the Judeo-Christian values that made us successful.

I'm considering deleting the only social media account I have left so I'll just leave my email.

Dating is serious to me so only contact me if your goal is finding a wife. I need someone who takes their Christian faith seriously and loves Scripture like I do, though Im open to different denominational backgrounds. Everything else about you isn't as important but I'd sure love a nerdy guy who's smart and makes corny jokes!

You should have a job but if you don't make six figures, no worries. Most men our age don't, and that can improve a lot over the years. If you have a good character, I don't mind investing time and effort into the relationship and being patient as you get the skills needed to increase your income.

But the green flags don't stop there!

I don't really "netflix and chill" but I can make the best chilli in North Carolina for you to take on your lunch break. Your coworkers will get jealous.

I know girls are supposed to like fancy expensive weddings but I'm way more excited about living with the man of my dreams and being broke really sucks so lets save some money there!!

If you are nervous meeting me so what? I will be too. I'm aware that confidence comes from experience and that a guy's confidence can improve over time through a healthy relationship and marriage! If you lack confidence, maybe its because you aren't a womanizer who sleeps around all the time and you are seeking a serious committed relationship.

I'd brag a while about being independent and making my own money here but I have wisdom and realize you probably don't care that much because most men don't. I'm cute and Christian so get at me!

I don't have to compromise morals to get a man. In fact, I behave like I'm somebody's wife already because I know God has someone for me and I trust Him.

I'm not everyone's type and that's okay. In fact, I'm kind of a social outcast for sticking to some principles but it's okay. I know God made me beautiful with no makeup or filters but it's the way I'm willing to serve others and fear the Lord that counts more than anything. My value to you as a woman won't go away when my looks fade.

Thank you for your novel post.

Can we presume you are looking for a husband that will care about you, cherish you, and want to protect you, as long as you both shall live?

Eddie Murphy said famously (“Coming to America”) that libraries and churches were the best places to find The One. I might add that volunteering In charitable activities might be even better, especially (for you) in one like Habitat for Humanity, which draws a lot of dependable men.

Consider also praying to God for inspiration in your search.

Best wishes.

Sara is a fictional woman I made up for the sake of example. I'm actually married and wish I had that wisdom as a single lady.

Should have made that clear. Sorry.

Well, you definitely fooled me (which unfortunately happens all too often), but it is OK.

As to wisdom: wow! Why didn’t I listen better to my parents, grandparents? Or better, why didn’t I listen and obey God! And of course, without God’s grace, where would we be?

Surely convenant marriage is central to the Kingdom of God. May you and your family have abundant life.
