    Looking to meet other Christians in their 30s

    Did someone say board games? I can't help with being 30 something or Kansas, but I did find my first gaming group on board game geek, and I hear there are a lot on facebook as well. Or if you have a local game store you can try that. Or you can try instigating a gaming night at your...

    The fear of attraction

    Yes I understand what you're talking about. I wouldn't say I fear my own attractions anymore (on the rare event they seem to occur) but I do keep them hidden (or at least I try to, I kind of assume I do for the most part). And I imagine I'd still feel that kind of get away panicky feeling if I...

    Welcome to the Official CC Valentine's B.Y.O.V. Thread! (B.e Y.our O.wn V.alentine!!)

    Well I've got pig hearts to cook up so that's valentine's dinner, and Wednesdays have been when we've had prayer team meetings so I'll either be there or home watching TV or playing games.

    Ah thank you, now I remember what my purpose for being on CC is ..... Free amateur therapy and making people face the truth about themselves. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

    Come One, Come All... It's Time for An Official CC Roll Call!!

    In real life you like to kill me with laughter then accuse me of trying to kill you and / or your pets. I think in real life you hide your personality behind politeness more. You aren't the classical "Oh yuck people" kind of introvert, you're more like the kid who goes out and plays hard then...

    Come One, Come All... It's Time for An Official CC Roll Call!!

    1. NAME: Call me Cinder. 2. COMFY OUTFIT: All my outfits are comfy. If it's not comfy I don't wear it. 3. PURPOSE: They tell me I've gotta have some sort of social life. And there are few single guys (especially over 30) in churches. 4. PRONOUNS: I recognize the following personal...

    What is the Difference Between "Standards" and "Shallowness"?

    I think a lot of it is we suffer from our modern luxuries. We no longer need to get married to survive (for which I'm rather grateful), but that gives us the luxury of making a list half a mile long of qualifications and holding out until they all are met. Couldn't do that 50 or 60 years ago...

    How Often Does a Woman Expect a Man with a "Good Salary" to Actually Be Home?

    I was kind of thinking the same thing, I get to keep most of the benefits of being single but have some guy who's working himself to death so I can have more money to spend on us until he dies and leaves it all to me. Sign me up, I'd even be happy to cook the food, and wash the clothes in...

    H-H-How Much C-C-Coffee Have You Had This Morning?

    Well as some here know, I don't touch coffee. Especially not the gourmet weasel coffee that is processed through the digestive tract of a weasel and then the coffee beans are picked out of its droppings (if that doesn't put you off coffee I don't know what will). But I'm big on tea and drink...

    Just for fun

    Is the power to make people read and comprehend what I write a real power ? That would be useful at work, as would a way to transfer all my knowledge to other people. Ohhh how about the power to turn my co-workers into little me clones while at work? That would probably backfire but it sure...

    Would you date yourself?

    Not much point in that. I'm stuck with me for life even without a marriage.

    What Does It Mean Today When Someone Says, "I Want to Make Friends"?

    CS Lewis had a great commentary on this in his book the Four Loves: Friendship arises out of mere companionship when two or more of the companions discover some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which till that moment each believed to be his unique treasure...

    Would you date yourself?

    I'd date me.... except I'd never ask me to date and the dog would be confused if there were suddenly two of me around. And I'm a total homebody so dating me is staying home together and eating food and watching TV or playing games. Wait I do that now, maybe I am dating me and don't know it.

    How is Everyone Holding Up in the Winter Weather?

    Well when the snow stopped for a bit Wed and Thursday they got the roads pretty well cleared (at least the main roads), but once it stops snowing (or it's late enough that I'll lose the daylight) I have to shovel the drive and dig myself out yet again because I'm pretty sure I'm not going...

    Do you think finding a spouse is more difficult now than in the past?

    And yet it was God himself who commanded his prophet to marry Gomer and take her back after cheating on him and leaving him. Seems that God disagrees with your assessment and places a much higher value on Gomer. Just for clarity, while disparaging every woman who doesn't meet your standards as...

    Child or Potential Spouse?

    I'm thinking that if the people in the situation are already viewing it as my needs vs someone else's needs, there's not a whole lot of good endings down that path. Both adults need to be willing to work together for the good of the child or it's not likely to work. But yeah, I could only be...

    The dating scene

    1) Yes I think current dating culture encourages us to see other people as consumer goods we're shopping for. Since I don't want to think of people like that, it has discouraged me from jumping in the dating pool. Also there's the change in culture that makes marriage much more optional for a...

    Transgender pain

    Reality is reality because it doesn't matter who's eyes it is seen through. You have both a female body and female genetics (at least we assume so). Everyone can see that with their eyes. That is why people say you are female; you hate that but that doesn't change the fact that it is. So...

    Transgender pain

    You make it sound like you think no one has ever done something they didn't like just for the sake of fitting in. You are unique, but you're not an exception to God's sovereignty. He's been as much in control over every moment of your life as he has over anyone else's. To think otherwise or...
