I did the same with women when I was much younger...

My "love of my life" walked out the door one day and her last words were--I AM PREGNANT....

I will just about guarantee that the bolded part is at least partially false. It is the refrain of boyfriends since time immemorial. If the OP really believes what is being implied here -- that women are irrational, feckless beings who end relationships for no reason at all -- then they should remain celibate. Even if it's only true of this one woman, why would you pine after her?

In any case, regardless of that, the saying isn't valid in my view because there are no gods presiding over relationships or anything else. Even among believers, no one is going to guarantee you anything in this regard.

She cannot keep a man? Perhaps they are not keepers.

Perhaps your "friend" is able to recognize this, and has the ability to move on from an unsuitable relationship rather than being mired in a relationship that does not make her happy.

Why would she remain with someone she is not happy with?

Brava for your "friend". She is dating.

" that women are irrational"

Its not about women, its about people in general. Plain and simple. What? Are you a woman being offended?

Um ... this is a normal thing called, colloquially, "playing the field". Every dating relationship is not an epic love story. Some are just having a nice time for one evening. Others are more "serious" but not "that" serious.

One doesn't pair-bond instantly with every person who agrees to go out on a date with you. 100% of all possible candidates do not hold up to close scrutiny.

And it is not 100% the woman's responsibility to "keep" the man. Do you seriously think that every man a woman dates is someone she'd want to spend the rest of her life with? Do you seriously think that a woman should be grateful to have a man -- any man, so long as he doesn't beat her with a cudgel?

If not, then what exactly ARE you saying??

What does this even mean? The number of men is limited so she should just marry the first one that comes along, even if she doesn't like him?

Look, I'm not saying that there aren't women (and men) who are "too picky" in practical terms. But that isn't for you to decide. It sounds to me like you want more women to like you and if you want that then you had better figure out what they REALLY are after and what REALLY appeals to them or not ... rather than complaining that they don't appreciate your awesomeness.

Yes.
She's Christian...and was talking about what "Biblegod" might/would do in that regard. So, he would be right in line going that route.
