Says the person who advises church as a place to meet dates.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess is that the two of you aren't in each others' target demos. It sounds like you've each found what works for you, though. That's great!
Church works for some people. There are all kinds of churches; even ones that include Buddhist and Hindu clergy, and Native American spiritual leaders as guest speakers. There are some very eclectic churches out there, just saying.
Recently single so back on OKCupid... I know online dating is bad for men but I recall I had much better luck last time I was on the site (in my late 30s)... i'm 42 and have not had much luck in 6 mos. Been on 1 date and sent around 100 messages, got around 5 responses!!! Although I am getting a lot of profile likes nobody responds.
In contrast in my 30s, I had several dates and had 3 serious relationships in the last decade of online dating.
My physical appearance is infact better now, i'm fitter.. so i'm guessing age?
I would say dating is better for men after 40 honestly.

Huh? I've never met a man in church, because it's nothing but couples and single women. Plus I'm not Christian.
But I have dated several 'musicians'. I'm not saying I'll never do it again, but I'd be screening more carefully for emotional availability before I did.
Of course it does-- just like meeting people at bars or dating musicians works for others. That was my point. I just thought it was funny that she would espouse one narrow preference while advising against other completely different similarly narrow preferences. Clearly she has very different tastes than the person she was advising, and they are both doing what works for them. It would be like saying, "You like going to beaches for vacations? Eww, that's the worst. You should go to the mountains!"

I never said you've met a man in church. I said you advised it to someone else:

If you advised it without it even having worked for you, that makes it significantly more odd than I thought it was. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you were making an odd recommendation to someone because it had worked for you.

It actually makes sense. It hasn't worked for her because she is a woman, and she doesn't see many single men, but lots of single women. So she's giving that advice to men, but not women.
Makes perfect sense.
For me it would be a deal breaker because the women I'd meet there are probably religious/superstitious.
