We did that before. We took over another thread to do it though.Next thread idea:
"How Many Foreskins Are YOU Worth -- And Whose Would They Be?!"
Somehow, I'm thinking that one would get approved.
If You Had An Arranged Marriage, Do You Think Your Parents Would Be/ Would Have Been Able to Make the Best Choice for You?

Bible nerd incoming: It was Amnon who pretended to be sick so he could be alone with Tamar and then get her into his bed. Absalom as her full brother avenged her, then started a rebellion and was killed even though his softie dad would have forgiven him.
Dinah's brothers mostly didn't approve of the fact the her suitor decided to take his marital rights before he even knew her or proposed to her (and how could they refuse since she was then "damaged goods" that no other man would want). And they slaughtered the whole town not just her suitor.
I know, but I was going to let it pass. Everybody thinks Absalom because he was the one who started the civil war. Sometimes some things can be let slide.
We've watched several seasons of "Married at First Sight." It got so bad we had to stop watching it. The concept is interesting though.
What do their parents think??
Or...hold on, do the parents sign up their offspring to be on the show?
IDK I never watched it. I mean I may have seen it on TV but never watched an entire show.
I come from a culture (India) where arranged marriages are still in practice, while love marriages are also very common. My parents, some extended family members, and some friends chose for themselves, but I have other family and friends whose marriages were arranged. Some of these arranged marriages are successful, some are not. Some of these love marriages are successful and some are not.
In arranged marriages in India, many families introduce two people but leave the decision of marriage to them. Some of course force it, which isn't right. My family has never and will never force me to marry anyone I don't want to. They are not saved yet, but they know that if I marry, I will only marry a Christian and a non-Indian. So they don't try to arrange my marriage anyway
In my opinion, how you get to know your spouse (arranged or love) isn't important. If God arranges my marriage through my pastor or someone else, so be it. He knows better than me. If He brings this person directly into my life, so be it. All I have to do is seek the Lord to know His will.
Thank God for God. We have Him to guide us. Christians are privileged!

Lol. Judging solely by the content you post, I think it's safe to say you're worth more than your weight in foreskins, Seoulsearch.So how many foreskins were people willing to pay for you?!
Not sure on how to collect, though. Would you consider substituting for Whangdoodle-skins instead?
You will have to ask Seoulsearch's parents about what her Whangdoodle price is.
Do not people understand its not the fiance's/betrothed decision about such things. For a daughter, it will be her dad who gives her away, so you probably need to pay the price of an air-ticket if you don't live close enough.

LOL!!!
As much as I'd like to think that's one of the best compliments I've ever received
, I'm not quite sure how much it will help if added to my dating profile:"I've been told I'm worth more than my weight in foreskins!!!! ANY TAKERS???" (Or givers, in this case.)
I'm thinking that yes, maybe for the sake of terrorizing just a few less men, I had better change "foreskins" to "Whangdoodle skins" -- jus to reassure any possible suitors.
Thank you so much for the compliment
, and suggestion!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this, @Jesusgirl777.
I want to apologize if I said anything in my posts that is offensive to arranged marriages or the cultures that practice them.
I'm really thankful you shared your first-hand experience because I'd rather learn from people who are living in the midst of what we're talking about rather than just an article on the internet.
I've been enjoying several of your posts and hope you will continue to share with us!
Welcome to the CC Singles Forum!
PETA will be on to those Whangdoodle skinners for cruelty to Whangdoodles.
Say no to hairy monster hats!
I'd rather go naked than wear Whangdoodle hair!

My grandparents had an arranged marriage, apparently they were betrothed by their parents when they were children.
That was the thing done in China back in the day.

My mum put all her money for me into my education, I never had any thing like a glory box or a trousseau.
Then later in life she was like. what is wrong with you people (us children) none of you are married.
Well mum, you never made it a priority....

Lol. When I reread it, I'm not sure if it is a compliment or an insult, but it was intended as the former.As much as I'd like to think that's one of the best compliments I've ever received
(If it's any consolation, I was going to offer 3 to keep the cat for a pet, but it sounded too mean-spirited, and I was fearful he might bite or scratch)., I'm not quite sure how much it will help if added to my dating profile:

Don't you think terrorising some of the inferior suitors would help keep your levels to a more manageable throughput? And who's to say it needs to be the suitors making offers for you? With the kind of equity you've got, you could probably bank it for a year, and purchase a groom solely on what you collect in interest. Then of course, you could start making the book sales "Sharp investment advice with Seoulsearch", "Unexpected financial tips" or "Budget cuts - the ugly truth about investing".
