Similar to the "JAP" in college, according to this blogger the superficial "EAP" has overrun our young adult church culture. In all seriousness, this guy has probably been burned more than once by women in his church and may be blowing this out of proportion. I have to admit though, there seems to at LEAST be some truths within his posts -and believe it or not, there is at least one woman who comments regularly in agreement with the author.

Who qualifies as an "EAP"?:
The Un-Marriageable Evangelical American Princess | Christian Men's Defense Network
How to remove the "EAP" label and become marriageable:
PART 1- The EAP Guide to Becoming Marriageable, Part 1 | Christian Men's Defense Network
PART 2- The EAP Guide to Becoming Marriageable, Part 2 | Christian Men's Defense Network
Now, before any of you get hot and bothered, here is the authors defense against the claim that he dislikes women:
Do We Hate Women? | Christian Men's Defense Network
Lastly, a commentator (possibly the author of the blog) compartmentalizes the following types of young women currently found in many church services:
1. Omega females. These girls are either too homely, too weird or too socially maladjusted to fit in anywhere other than a church. The bottom of the barrel; the unfortunate 1s and 2s. They don’t blend in anywhere else. The church tolerates and loves them as best it can.
2. Ultrahypergamous women. These are the best looking EAPs. They have the pick of any man in church they want, and they know it. Even the married men gawk at them. They have a legion of beta orbiters and a phalanx of white knights to do their bidding at a moment’s notice. Always well made up, dressed to attract attention, and very, very good looking, even hot. All the other women hate them. Don’t even think about talking to them. You’re not in their league; not even close. There isn’t a man alive who could possibly measure up to her standards (except of course for those impossibly beautiful men she knew from college and church camp and that one time in Cancun — Reynaldo the bartender — that no one at church knows about). All of the above applies even if she is married.
3. Hypergamous “daughters of the King”. EAPs, but not as good looking as #2 women. These women are coming up on 30 and rapidly approaching The Wall, or have passed 30 and The Wall is in the rear view mirror. But they’re still holding out for their One Special Man That God Has Prepared Just For Them. Or, she’s in her late teens or 20s, but she’s a career girl. She’s going to work for a while and then settle down. She wants to have some fun now. She has plenty of time to find the One Special Man.
4. “Reformed sluts”. (Scare quotes to denote women who have not truly reformed.) These women are in church to meet men, or snare a man for marriage. Period. Full Stop. They talk the talk and are fluent in Christianese. She frequently says things like “God laid it on my heart” or “God told me to ____________” or “After seeking the Lord, I ____________”. Makes a point to talk about her past and says she is “not like that anymore” and she wants “to do it right this time”. Always dresses to attract male attention. High heels, low cut blouses, short skirts, garish makeup, bright red lipstick, perfect hairdos, and visible tattoos are her hallmarks. Usually has leathery skin and premature wrinkling and gray hair from years of hard partying. Some of these women are adept at imitating #2 women above or #5 women below.
5. Reformed sluts. (No scare quotes to denote a true reformed slut.) Proceed with caution. This type might make a good date or wife. But she is sexually experienced and has a high partner count. She might use Christianese but she won’t dress provocatively. She’s truly in church to do it right, but probably has a lot of baggage. Probably has in her past a divorce, an abusive relationship, an abortion, an addiction, or any combination of the above. She has a very difficult time pair bonding. Frequently defensive and evasive about her past.
6. The downtrodden yet heroic single mothers. “Stanton’s Heroes”. She is persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. She runs the gamut from hardbitten and hardboiled, to sweet and good natured. She is the undisputed hero of the congregation, raising her child(ren) with scant help from the deadbeat dad, and yet doing it with pluck, chutzpah, moxie, and aplomb. She is never a single mom by choice. Things just sort of happened to her, and she found herself in quite a pickle. It was the man’s fault. It was her father’s fault. It was her boss’ fault. It was her mom’s fault. It was her boyfriend’s fault. It was her high school guidance counselor’s fault.
