The Myth of the Right Person

he was likeable, and like i said i don't think his message in general was wrong, but he repeated himself too much and he could've covered a lot more ground had he been more concise.

 

i don't disagree with the notion of "don't dress/act like a whore" but he should've spent more time on that and less time on the no sex til marriage bit which i knew he'd get to at some point, if that's really what he wanted the message to be.

 

he also could've spent more time on WHY the absence of father figures was such an issue for younger men and what they could do about it, rather than preaching abstinence to younger men.

 

he introduced himself as intending to give a non-religious talk about relationships, but he couldn't resist falling back on 'abstinence solves all problems' because he is a pastor.

 

bait and switch, is what i took away from it.

 

Ah, yes. I see your point now. Good observations.

It reminded me of my twelve years of Catholic school so I shut it off :D

 

Well, some of it must have sunk in back in the day... because you seem like a very nice guy... and give people good advice. ;)

if he weren't a christian, it would have a lot more credibility

 

Chances are there are some secular relationship counselors that would probably speak of some of the same advice as much as this Pastor did.

 

Though, divorces in even the Christian community are just as frequent as those occurring in the secular community, kind of makes things moot. lol

Thanks for posting the link to the videos. They are well done and not overly religious. All of the points he makes are completely valid. It made me think of the things I need to work on to be a better person.

I think this is where people tend to complain about being put in the FZ all the time by the one they have feelings for.

 

The person that put in them in the FZ are pretty much doing what's opposed to what's mentioned in the video presentation.

 

Basically, they should be dating the person they FZ'ed and not the person they went with (or even married).
