There's a woman in our area, early 30's, still lives with her parents, but works for the family biz. Kind of a high profile family, too. However, she's useless if you were to marry her or date her. Doesn't bring anything to the table whatsoever except maybe her physical appearance.

 

Prima Dona (sp?)

 

 

Apparently she had been unattached for quite some time, VERY attractive, but chronically single. Funny, never saw her on any dating site, figured I would by now.

 

She was asked what she was looking for.

 

"A Christian man with money."

 

I've seen it before a lot in these Christian communities....they just want to be housewives and NOT want to work.

 

Now, I just thought this to be a contradiction, "Christian man with money", bit of an oxymoron, because if she was really "Christian" why would she even care about money?

 

Food for thought, ya know?

It's an interesting point. Jesus did not go after money. His apostles didn't either. So...

 

I don't think money is bad per say, but it is true making money is not supposed to be the life goal of a follower of Jesus. Jesus kinda makes that pretty clear.

 

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” - Matthew 19:23 NIV

 

and

 

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. " - Matthew 6:24

 

That doesn't mean that Christians shouldn't work to pay taxes, bills and spend money to help others, but it does mean making money isn't the all-in-all for a Christian.

I always thought the same thing. And most of the women aren't Christian themselves they just think if the guy is Christian, then he's the ultimate good guy.

 

He'll always be nice, won't pressure about sex, and willing to have kids one day

She works for the family business, which seems to be lucrative, and I assume she's also religious. Sounds like she wants someone like herself.

Well, when she said it that way, she meant she's seeking a man who is "loaded" with the greenbacks pretty much.

There's a reason why in early 30's she still lives home with her parents even though she can afford it to live alone [i assume].

This woman will wake up when the big 40 starts bearing down on her and grab the last train out of the station.

That is pretty funny. :)

That's not the point. Depending on where she lives, it might just be for the social circle. Go to the right church and you get acquainted with the local influential and rich people automatically.

So many red flags here. Over 30 and still lives at home, religious, gold digger, chronically single.... Just for starters.

 

There is a wonderful saying... "No matter how hot a chick is, someone, somewhere is sick of her crap." ;)

I dont think there is anything wrong with a woman simply wanting to be a housewife, if she is upfront about it and doesn't decide spring it on the guy after she's pregnant.

I know a few modern Christians and they are very money focused. I think they think..'god helps those who help themsleves' is a key proverb in the bible.

Pretty easy to answer. Laziness.

And I'll be waiting...Giggety giggety! *cocks head*

Maybe she lives in a Jewish neighborhood?

 

It cracks me up sometimes when I'm leaving church that people are so anal and in a hurry that they won't let someone back out of a spot or even stop to let someone walk to their car.

 

It's like that expression "just cause you're in the garage doesn't mean you're a car".

I am sorry Irc, but who are you who gets to judge that someone doesn't bring anything to the table except their physical appearance? How much do you really know about this women other then the external factors that she is in her 30s and works for the family biz? Have you spent any kind of significant time with her? Do you know her inner life? Has she ever shared with you more intimate details of her life or emotions other then things she looks for in a husband?

 

All this judgement about one woman who you are scorning because you simply don't like the fact that she lives at home and talked about wanting a Christain man with money. And you have the audcity to make the judgement that she has nothing to offer. It is one thing for you to say, "this women isn't for me. I am not interested in women that still live at home past 30 and appear to be focused on her man attaining a certian amount of money." It is not reasonable for you to say another human being has nothing to offer simply because you don't like what they may be looking for. Do you even know what she mans by a Christian man "with money"? Have you asked her what her expectations are any further then that surface comment? Would you have been as critical toward a man that said he wanted a "Christian woman who is really hot"? I doubt you would have. Because somehow, men more then women, will justify hotness in their search for women but gripe when a woman talks about moeny in their search for a man. Making the incorrect conclusion that somehow one is less shallow then the other.

 

If the woman wants to be a housewife, good for her. All it means is she isn't the right woman for some men. But at least she is being honest about it and not tryign to manipulate someone in a situation they don't wnat to be in.

 

Seriously, you have no right say that a nother human being has nothing to offer. This thread is digusting.

She's a woman. I'd personally argue that a woman over thirty doesn't even have a desirable physical appearance to offer but opinions on that vary.

 

Ohhhhhh..she is a woman. I though this thread was about teradactyls. :rolleyes:

No one here has heard of prosperity theology? Remember, we live in strange times.

One possibility is she has been a slut and now wants a naive man so she can portray a wholesome image

:o Well...I just thought it was crappy to say someone has "nothing" to offer someone else. I think it's fine if you aren't into her but to measure up someone to having nothing to offer isn't fair.

Yesssssssssss! Slut shaming.

 

What are the odds that a 30 year old woman living at home is a slut.......... And "slut" is code word for women that enjoy sex. The horrors! :eek:

I used slut to mean promiscuous woman not the occasional ONS. I mean the ones with very high body counts. I am just offering a possibility and if that's the case she is shaming herself. If you do that own that sh*t. Trust me there are some that stay at home and are like that. Hell you just called it slut shaming so you essentially are calling her a slut too. Hey that is what you said.
