Howdy and welcome to the Forum.

I have found that owning a flamethrower and knowing how to use it effectively helps a lot with such situations.
I'll stand in line behind you on the approaches to the pearly gates. Watch you try and shoot your way in!

What in the world?

I thought you were talking about girls that wouldn't leave a single guy alone. I'm not sure where getting into heaven factored into this.

I was. My reply drew a parallel to yours. Resorting to the use of a flamethrower to fend off unwanted attention, would be like trying to shoot your way in to life everlasting.

I was just acknowledging your light hearted humour with a little of my own.

Cool.

I have found it remarkably effective for some things though. Especially for fending off matchmakers. They have trouble making matches when their hair is on fire.

Word play aside, I was just offering an observation about a downside to being single, relating to ministration and the opposite sex.

When we're caring and obliging, as brothers and sisters should be, some single women (and men) can get their purposes crossed. The brother who wants to see his sisters all dressed in white at the marriage supper of the Lamb, can be misconstrued for wanting more.

Being married must help negate that quandary, a figurative flamethrower if you will.

Thanks for the welcome (y)

not often, when I was growing up I had to deal with bullies at school on a regular basis, by the time I was 8 I was starting to isolate from people and by the time I was 13 I was attempting suicide, when I started isolating myself I spent all my time watching tv or playing movies and unfortunately that habit has followed me into adulthood. Now I have been on ODSP for over 20 years and I can't afford to go any where and being 440lbs finding it harder and harder to find a job to get off the system.
Hello, Christian brothers! I am very surprised about your weight. I say this because I have never met or come into contact with anyone weighing up to 440 pounds in my real life! For your health, it is best to lose weight and achieve a healthy state, so that you will be more confident! Your life will also be full of vitality and beauty! This is just my suggestion. May God bless you!

Easier for a single man's attention to be undivided in the things of the Kingdom, or so I thought.

It can be excessively taxing to counsel and hearten any female who takes it as a given that a man is up for grabs for as long as he remains single. A source of trouble for sure; something marriage would quash for those who are related by faith.
Possibly, Well I don't know I find it relatively easy to hearten the women on here and I am up for grabs lol. I know what my problem is, its being a misunderstood genius, I am the kind of guy no one appreciates until 100 years after he is dead lol.

Dear brothers, thank you very much for replying to my message! It means that you have read my message, please do not mind my point of view, because in terms of health, your weight really needs to be controlled and reduced to achieve a healthy state of health! Please do not be pessimistic, do not give up, if you can lose weight, I believe you should be very handsome, very sunny, charming man! Maybe your love is coming too! Your life partner has also met! Bless you, Christian brothers, by the way, I am not a brother, I am a sister! There is another problem, my English is not good, I use translation software to communicate, if there is inaccurate translation, please do not mind! And what you said about going home, honor and being able to sacrifice your life! I don't understand what it means, but please don't have the tendency to commit suicide! Do not be discouraged, do not give up, do not be deceived by the devil to commit suicide, or pessimistic mood control! You need the love of God, the love of the Lord Jesus! Need the love and encouragement of the brothers and sisters in the Lord! We love you too! Brother! May God bless you and your family!

By the way, recently I was thinking about finding or joining a single Christian chat group where single Christian brothers and sisters can come together to communicate, learn from each other, help each other, encourage and comfort each other. We grew up together in the Lord Jesus Christ! Especially single Christian brothers and sisters need to stick together! May God bless us! But for special reasons, I have no other social software, only a registered but not often used social software (insgrm). I just signed in last night to use it again, and now I can use it normally. Christian brothers and sisters who think like me are welcome to serve God together! Worship and praise God together! Send me a message if you like. My ins account: Huihui zhou my profile picture I chose a young and beautiful cartoon lady with a bouquet of flowers in her hand and a flower headband on her head. The background is light blue. I think my description should be very careful! May we all live in the love of God! Love you! Looking forward to your arrival!

If heartening women is something inherent to you, be sure to buoy up the men too, without partiality.

Apples of gold in pictures of silver signify the certainty of the words of truth in us. And won't go unnoted by either sex.

Either that, or double-down on your genius. :LOL:

Bury the truth and it grows a giant. I appreciate anyone who calls a spade a spade, and doesn't use two words where one will do.

I can somewhat relate to being misunderstood, because my personality is the rarest type for males, accounting for little more than 1% of the population.

I expect you've spent an inordinate amount of time having to explain your reasons for going about things the way you do, meeting too few people who just instinctively get you.

The rarest of all, are the most misunderstood of all, which necessitates them to be the most forgiving of all. You're likely wiser to that saying than just about anyone else on this forum.

Curious minds want to know.. what is the rarest type of personality at less than 1% of males having it? I have studied Psychology and have yet to hear about such a thing.
