Comments on: A male classification of Churchly men.

The real problem is that there are a lot more righteous and ethical men than there are righteous and ethical women.

A different issue is that this whole alpha-beta classification is inherently wicked and worldly. As with most Gamer/PUA terminology, it is hopelessly imprecise and fraught with confusion, as well subtlely affirming of wickedness.

And what is up with the male blogger obsession with classifying MEN? It is hard not to notice once you are aware of it: Gamer blogs are obsessed with male hierarchy. Gamer blogs essentially boil down to one long hate fest on men who don’t have “good looks and charm” (i.e. “non-alpha”).

Well, yes. I married in my late 20s — but it was a different time then.

Most men are not players, In the old days we were considered worthy candidates to court. I’m not sure about now.

Practically, well raised church daughters are often (if high status) wooed by Van’s righteous Alphas when very young, and remain happily wed. It is great for them. But both groups are the minority. In the church or out of it.

Sadly, I think Van has a point. There is lots of talk about men not marrying but I belong to a church where there are plenty of single Christian…black men. This despite the supposed male shortage in churches with heavily black congregations. Van is also right that many of them stay single until they hit their mid 30’s, which is when women whose clocks are ticking or who are running out of options because they already have children and are aging, take notice of them.

We have a system in place where (even in the church), people are stuck with leftovers. Of course, given that our economic climate is one that discourages marriage among the young, maturing, and largely broke, what else can you expect?
