Finding Each Other
Believe it or not, many young men, if they want to marry (and many do, eventually), want to marry virgins — preferably, young ones, age 18-20. Very often, these young men are not particularly churchy. But, they are beginning to realize that, if you are going to have any chance of success at all inContinue reading “Finding Each Other”
No Makeup (1913 edition)
In the pre-1913 era, young women often had fantastic fashions and hairstyles, but makeup was rare. Here, at the dawn of color photography, we see the no-makeup looks of girls and young women of that time.
No Makeup
Women under 25 don’t need makeup. God made them beautiful already. Just don’t mess up His Work with bad diet and flab. Isn’t it a little weird? Painting your face? Really?

Social Media = Video Games for Girls
This is for: girls and young women. Girls: look at the loser guys around you.

Women For Marriage
As I have been explaining, marriage is a terrible deal for men these days. It does not work out well about 80% of the time, and the consequences can be horrific. This will have to be fixed.

Laine’s Letters 2
Let’s continue with “Laine’s Letters,” which are not only some good ideas to get by on a less-than-average income, but also an example of the very best of wives. After all this scrimping and saving, she concludes: “I am so thankful!” 17 ~ I’ve learned to be very thankful and content. They’re both infectious, youContinue reading “Laine’s Letters 2”
Never Had a Boyfriend
There are a lot of women today who do a lot of “dating,” but never have a boyfriend. One reason is that they are too slutty for even short-term monogamy. But, there are a large number of women who sort-of wanted a more serious relationship, that might lead to marriage, and never got it. IContinue reading “Never Had a Boyfriend”
