I’m searching for The Free Press’ matchmaking section. Remember it functioned in the recent past.

It was active for a bit, but then seemed gone.

I appreciate any help to see if it still exists and how I might find it.

I’m all in to ramp up young singles to find their mates.

Waiting for some impish programmer to get their AI boyfriends to tell them why they oppose abortion.

Your own personal dating Jesus? Remember what Sally said to Jack in Oblivion - “I am your God.”

Reminds me to recommend Gary Turk's 5-minute video "Look Up"

If these women are heterosexual, all this does is produce a bunch of horny, pissed off women.

This proves that Dem/Socs really are crazy.

I guess I'm a little old fashioned and out of touch. It's hard for me to rationalize any grown person dating a A I anything unless they're strungout on mushrooms.

The only upside to me is not having to please or impress your date.

No unwanted pregnancies is a plus and zero snoring is good too.

Still not for me, I want a female touch and emotional conection and you can't cuddle a computer.

Advice to the young women who are out there: just be sure dude is not into porn, sissy hypno porn or fetish groups. We who divorced suddenly crossdressing men typically had no idea that dude is an autogynophile, a man who is aroused by the fantasy that he can have a female arousal experience. In my data on trans widows the younger generation of women is most at risk for violence when dude suddenly brings out his fetish demands. Documentary: Behind the Looking Glass at Lime Soda Films YT channel for a window into the experiences of 18 trans widow and 1 grown daughter of AGP father. Watch out for the narcissists! They will love bomb you and then berate you if you don't agree to their fetish scenarios. The real deal from survey, 20 Questions to Ask a Trans Widow:

My 2 adult sons are college aged and both single. They are more centrist conservatives and are absolutely open to and willing to hear out other peoples opinions. Unfortunately many girls/women their ages are not the same. These girls only see their side and are not open to understanding differing points of view. And they can be extremely combative when ideas don’t mirror theirs. Young women like the ones I’m referencing are going to have sad and lonely lives until they open their minds and hearts. My boys are funny, smart, giving and kind. Women who are not open to men like them because they don’t think abortion is the only protection women deserve are missing out.

Perhaps your sons need to meet Christian girls at church.

At church the odds are good but the goods are odd

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the push to extinguish marriage, family, commitment through good times and bad, is the extinction of society. The list of tools being used to destroy the family is too long and probably well known to this readership, based on these comments. Amye get those young men to a Catholic college. It’s where the women are. And Good luck! PS More movies, pls.

A few years ago, my all girl catholic high school class was planning its 50 year reunion. The date conflicted with a trip that my boyfriend and I had planned but I was privy to all the chat on our school's facebook page. One thing stood out to me; most of the women married the boys they dated in high school and most of those marriages thrived. We often post photos from our travels around the world, there are lots of family pictures with grandchildren and one recently posted one of her granddaughter getting married. I'm sure they had their struggles but their faith, values and common goals got them through.

My early marriage was none of that and I believe it was because I thought I knew better. I was attracted to a guy who left the country to avoid going to Vietnam and, thanks to an empathetic professor, continued his education while back packing through Europe. He returned to the U.S. estranged from his parents and with a self-righteous chip on his shoulder that I misinterpreted as intelligence. Our impetuous marriage fell apart and the reasons were a series of complications encased in an egg that was rotten. Our values, hopes and dreams were not compatible.

The man in my life and I have been together for decades. We met in our thirties, broke up and reignited a much stronger flame when we were in our forties. Now in our seventies we have a great time together and we are that shoulder to lean on during this season of our lives.

My sage advice: Please pass on the "bots." Don't waste time on these fake relationships. Pursue the real; holding hands is so much better.

Where and when I grew up if things got broken we fixed them. Out of necessity and because we tried until we did.

The same applies to our marriage. 42 years later and the feeling one gets of having shared our lives for so long, having validated the life and achievements of my wife .. and she mine .. is a treasure that I will hold onto until death.

Nothing on earth like it. Irreplaceable.

Me too. 44 years and counting. I can’t sleep unless the love of my life is right next to me. We met at church. We are fused into one flesh by the Holy Spirit.
