#1 SHALLOW



Let's go ahead and get this one out of the way right up front. It would haunt the blog otherwise: The #1 reason that Mormon Men inhibit the marriage process for all of us is that they are shallow.

This is a well-known fact and not one limited solely to Mormon Men. However, it causes a whole range of problems which will be addressed later on in this blog.

Because Mormon Men are shallow, they ignore the hundreds of beautiful, interesting, intelligent, available women and swarm to the one girl who walks in late to sacrament meeting in a skirt that is just a little too short.

On one hand, they can't help if their heads turn and follow that girl as she walks down the aisle, it's the way they are wired and probably the only reason any of them get married at all. However, they should be able to control the pathetic deer in headlights look as they swarm to get her number after the benediction.

This girl spent Saturday morning at the gym followed by a tiring mall trip with her roommates, figuring out if jeans can actually be "too tight." Righteous Rachel over there, just got back from Africa where she saved at least 45 malnourished children. And Humble Hannah just started a small non-profit which reforms delinquent students through ballroom dance. However, only one of these three had a date on Saturday night.

This is not a criticism of the girl. She is doing what she has to do. Heck, we all have a pair of tight jeans in case of an emergency, that's not the point. The point is that Mormon Men are shallow and they place more value on nice legs than intellect, courage or compassion.

Get out of the shallow water men. It's only going to satisfy you for so long. Those legs won't look so good in a few more years and you'll wish you had looked past that short skirt to the other amazing women in the room.
