I’m divorced, an academic psychiatrist who trains the local registrars (residents where you are). I have a son in medical intermediate competing for a place in the professional programme.

I don’t hang around. He doesn’t either.

My mission for this year is keeping two boys sane when they are sitting high stakes exams (your place at university is sorted mainly by your year 12 results — Grade 11 in the USA — as the results for year 13 are not out until just before Uni starts and we don’t do SATs.

And most of the women I know who are godly and righteous are married,
One has to pray. And one has to not end up in their beds, for then discernment goes out to a foreign country, a la the Jew of Malta.

How do I avoid the Sunday morning nightclub? This assumes us guys can tell the difference between a devout Christian girl and a nightclub member. There is no surface way for us to tell. I don’t think many people go into marriage thinking their girl or woman is not-devout.

Lastly the Sunday morning nightclub post brings several questions. If there are guys like in the post you linked who picks up church women for sex(or even the self professed Christians who do this) how am I supposed to compete with that? I’m studying to become a doctor, so yeah that gives me some interest, but I don’t want to be the go to guy after a woman has spent all the church time flirting, in courtship, or having sex with the “alpha” dude.

Honestly it scares me. I don’t think I am alpha. I garner some interest, I am social and can talk to guy and girl a like, but I am not that guy that girls talk about when gathered together. That is another guy. Is my wife deemed to be his sloppy seconds, or am I deemed to be the 2nd choice of a woman in the church after the alpha rejects her? Or am I supposed to find a woman who is attracted to me but never was to him?
