Revelation 8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Uh NO! And that was a pretty insulting low blow!
My point is that women are desirable,
and guys are pretty easy,
If a woman really doesn't want to be alone,
she doesn't have to be, but guys have to jump
through alot of hoops and meet some nearly
impossible standards if they don't want to be alone.
It's just the way of the world, and it's kind of worse
in the church, because the standards are even higher,
plus the law of not being allowed to see a woman
as being attractive in a physical sense, or you get
labeled.
I know there are exceptions, if I was super rich
or some chiseled stud, I guess I'd never be alone,
but that's not me obviously, but a woman doesn't
have to be the provider and leader of the pack or
live up to high standards.
For the most part, she just has to be breathing,
and if she doesn't want to be alone,
she doesn't have to be.
Or maybe I should just say, if I was a woman,
and I didn't want to be alone,
I know I wouldn't have to be.

I did not mean to be insulting, just that what you say is a common misconception that is not reflected at all in the lives of real women who would desire a relationship, sometimes over the course of many years and even decades, while none is forthcoming. You want to believe it is easy for women to not be alone if they don't want to be but what exactly are you promoting? It does not sound good to me in any way shape or form to just fall for any old guy that presents himself to me. Not to mention the fact, verifiable, that many men as they age want younger women. You are insulting women to say all we have to be is breathing, as if that was all that was required of us.

we, mankind were deceived. the command came to adam, then eve was made from adam. she is not apart from Him, she is a part of adam. we are one in this way. to think men and women are different in Gods eyes is just another part of the deception to divide us, because if we are divided, we cannot stand. according to the truth of the kingdom divided principle. woman is of man, in Christ we are shown that man is also of woman. paul saying he didn't permit women to speak, remember paul was a strict Pharisee before He saw the truth on the road to Damascus. Pharisees had the attitude women are less than men. paul says so many other things regarding unity, creation, one. he speaks opf a "profound mystery when he is talking marriage principle as applied to the church, the bride....it is a reference to one ness, with Christ and each other. you have good thinking, God bless you
I can't believe I finally caught up with you guys. For a few hours I've been two or three pages behind you! I am...ponderous? is that a word? I think and re-read and try to really understand what someone is saying before I answer. So I move pretty slow. 
You both have been such an encouragement to me. Spiritual insight comes from the Holy Spirit in us. Men, for the most part, try to hinder the Spirit. But He should be given great honor. In fact, blaspheming Jesus can be forgiven, but blasphemy of the Spirit will never be forgiven - in this age or the one to come.
Learn His voice and learn to be very attentive to it. It is the only voice that will never steer you wrong. This Spirit was given to guide us to all truth. There are many pitfalls set for our feet by men who have usurped His authority, but if we honor Him and give Him His place, He brings us through them all safely.

Hmmm, that sounds almost logically correct in the natural mind. Sorta. Especially the part where you blamed Eve for the fall of man, like Adam did. Except Adam blamed God as well, for giving Eve to him as a companion.
And you believe Adam was somewhere else while the devil was tempting Eve, but they were both in the garden. Did Adam neglect to protect Eve from the serpent? Maybe he was preoccupied watching a football game or in the garage shining up his classic Mustang. Why not? That's about as good as any other ridiculous idea people come up with in their own understanding.
Also, if you wanna get technical, God created the serpent and placed him in the garden for His own purposes. Do you think God was surprised how it transpired? Do you think God believed He made a mistake creating Adam and Eve the way that He did? Or do you think everything went exactly according to His plan?
In truth, it was a spiritual occurrence in the garden. Jesus said only the Holy Spirit can give you understanding about the things of God. Don't you believe Him? How do you figure you can narrate some little logical story out of an absolutely incredibly amazing miraculous work of Almighty God?
Haven't you yet learned that it's impossible to understand the things of God with your logical/natural mind?
I repeat:
It is impossible to understand the things of God with your logical/natural mind.
I Corinthians 2:11-14
Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

The Bible constantly says that Adam was at fault for bringing sin into the world, not Eve (although both Jewish and Christian history have tried to place the blame on her). God had essentially appointed Adam as the chieftain of creation (and Eve as the female equivalent). As such, God had made Adam responsible for his wife and for the children they would have and for the world they lived in. But he failed. He listened to the serpent (and I don't think he could've kicked the serpent out of the garden). So, while Eve played her part in The Fall, as did the serpent, Adam is primarily responsible for plunging creation into sin.

Doesn't it make sense then to say that anything you learned by studying in your own understanding or anything you were taught by human wisdom puts us in error?
If the Holy Spirit did not reveal something to you, it is not truth.

This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God.
And every spirit that does not confess Jesus, is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist.
*****************************
So there ya have it, folks. Are you confessing Jesus Christ has come? Or are you exalting your interpretation and interpretations you learned from some other human? God said it's one or the other. Life or death.

You have twisted my meaning.
Women are already desirable. They don't really have to do a whole lot to impress.
They already have what a guy wants....he wants a woman.
But for a guy, he has to have these standards and qualifications
or the woman is going to move on and find the guy who has them.
Most guys that are lonely are just happy to have someone that's going to
stay by his side and be faithful, if he's lucky enough to get that,
but the woman already has what he wants. She's a woman!
I'm saying that as a compliment to womanhood in general.
I love women and think they're God's finest creation.....
that's why He saved the best for last, and in their specialness,
they can afford to be particular, and want the best, which they deserve.
But as a guy who just wasn't good enough when I was younger, and now
I've gotten old so even Less desirable, (not that I ever was), the
opportunity to be that is pretty much gone.
But I'm not saying women just get some drunk from an asylum.....
Or some guy that just throws himself her way...not at all! But
there are a lot of decent guys all around, lonely and just need a chance.
But this started because I pointed out that most of the guys that get that chance have already had it....even a few times, often having a family even,
and seem to be the ones that get the attention, but the guys that never really were given a chance, though just as lonely, or more, continue to be alone.
I was just pointing out the facts I've both observed and experienced, not intending to be insulting AT ALL, but what you said about going for twenties was pretty cold and mean.
How do you think it makes a guy feel to be accused of that?
There wouldn't be a twenty year old that would want me anyway,
even if that's what I was about, which I'm not.
And mostly women my age aren't interested in an 'eros' love at this point anyway, or have had their share, and now their focus in life is other things, and someone like me just isn't necessary or wanted anymore, so that really didn't make me feel too good.
But I've come to expect that.
Being put down for being alone all my life is common.
If I had been in other relationships in my life, the response would have been different, that was my point proven.

Thank you, coby, that was really nice of you, I don't get too many ppl that ever pray directly for me like that, it means alot. And I pray our heavenly Father gives you the desires of your heart, too, and keeps you and the kids well-protected in these crazy days, and keeps you joy-filled in Jesus' name. Amen.

She didn't say that. She said do you look at how easy 20 year olds can get a man.
Stop speaking negative. God can give you someone tomorrow. My ex is 56. He prayed for a wife, I prayed for him, went to a dating site to delete his account. Bam. 50 some year old supermodel from Brazil, on fire for the Lord and as one of the few not after his money 'cause he has no money. Married her a year later. And he really doesn't look better than you. Just knows who he is in Christ and that if you ask you receive.
