I can understand where they are coming from but it doesn't really bother me.
I could imagine myself Dating say Danicka Patrick or Katie Melua or Amanda Seyfried but, I know in my heart that it would not work. The treasure that I find in a woman has to match the treasure that she sees in herself. In order for me to value that treasure, it has to exist in the first place. We would have a problem with the disconnect that occurs when I value things like how she feels about helping a stranger.
I dated a Children's Pastor from a Large church for a while. She was really popular and well liked by the Community, incredible Athlete, Godly Christ centered Christian. However, She lived out her faith very different than I do mine. To her it was about a sense of Duty to the Church Body, it was the traditions, the titles, the community etc. But for me, I believe in going out of my way to exercise my faith in the moments when its seemingly out of bounds. Like sharing Christ and a cup of Coffee with hitch hikers at the local truck stop. Because I believe that its easy to be a Christian in church but, its hard to get over myself and Carry my Cross. Her sense of Charity was to sharing Christ with Children.
We simply did not understand each other well enough to value in each other the things we value about ourselves. I know that we are all the Body but, I don't want to be with someone when neither of us value the things that we value most about ourselves.
