I am not much of a fan for it either, on here it can be difficult to tell if people are genuine or fake with a little bit of baiting. If someone was weak and had a question - I hope I would remember the stupid stuff I did, and have compassion in a firm way with a guy - just because I know I have a tendency to want to be babied at times.

Hmm, having Jesus as our focus and sole goal is of prime importance, and the above though is the goal of all Christians, single or married, individually and corporately to grow up in Christ in all things. So I do agree yet I think that even putting this as a focus for singles (with the suggestion that it a pathway to marriage) minimizes the point, it may or way not ever lead to marriage, but is is the goal to which we are all called, following Him and seeking His Kingdom supersedes everything else, being willing to bear our cross and live for Him and for our brothers and sisters and for the world in self-sacrificing service and love is to bring the Kingdom, and is the purpose which which He rescues us. We are justified to justify, we are put right with God to be the people who put things to rights and restore what sin has damaged and marred, to be those who build for His Kingdom.
But in saying this, do not dismiss the cries of your brothers and sisters, who are in pain, and hurting, what they often say isn't some fleshy pride but it's the honest cries of their hearts, the Psalmists never held back their feelings before God, nor did they before Jesus. God doesn't want us to have to pretend or lie before our family in God, but rather that we cultivate a community characterised by His love, welcome, truth and restorative justice, and should be a place were we can all be completely honest with what we struggle with, the hurts and issues we face so we can come alongside each other and bear others burdens. We should love one another as He has loved us, and be conduits through which His love, healing and restoration comes. So I would caution against dismissing to lightly the heart-cries of your brethren as just fleshly indulgence but I true cry of the lost and hurting.
