Gentlemen, you didn’t think we’d forget, did you? Last week, we shared the Evolution of Singleness for the Ladies–a stroll down memory lane showing how women come to terms with their single state over the course of a few decades. And this week, we’re zeroing in on the male mind.
Not every Christian guy on the face of the Earth will be able to relate to every single one of these (pun intended), but we think it’s a fair assessment of the mind of a single guy. And remember, we’re not including middle or high school single life because…bro, you don’t even know. You don’t. even. know.
The College Years
Freshman Year—Girls, girls, girls! That campus ministry is a land flowing with Jesus-loving honeys…
Sophomore Year—You’ve made some awesome friendships with other freshman and sophomore girls, but there’s this one senior girl who is the Elisabeth to your Jim Elliot…
Junior Year—Since the senior girl you were crushing on last year left to go on the mission field, you’re back to square one, and this year’s crop of freshmen ladies is looking pretty good…
Senior Year—All your boys are having DTRs, but who has time for that because you’re peacing out of here next year…
The Twenties
Early 20s—Girls, girls, girls! That hip young adult ministry in your new city is a land flowing with Jesus-loving honeys…
Mid 20s—You figure it’s time to start settling down with someone, so you step up to leadership in the hip young adult ministry. You ask a few girls out from time to time, but when someone jokes about you being a player, you vow to not date within the young adult ministry again…
Late 20s—People start trying to set you up on blind dates with their teacher friends, nurse friends, or cousins, and your mom wants to send each of them a thank you note…
The Thirties
Early 30s—Girls, girls, girls! That new online dating site you just joined is a land flowing with Jesus-loving honeys…
Mid 30s—Online dating is now a line budget item, and the “When are you getting married?” questions have all but ceased…
Late 30s—All of your matches have kids, and you’re scared you’re not going to be able to snag a girl in her 20s much longer…
