I know the singles ward is not intended to be a meat market, rather a place where you can worship, with the added benefit of being around like-minded people who are at the same stage in life. But I can't help but hope that maybe I might make mutual friends and heaven forbid maybe meet someone I could possibly like enough to date and or marry, especially for someone like me where meeting decent single guys is harder.
You would think going to a singles ward would give you more hope in the possibility of marriage, but sometimes what it really does is crush the last ounce of hope you did have.
The sheer number of single girls in a singles ward makes you realize you don't stand a chance. There are a lot more cute girls to compete with than you ever imagined, as compared to the number of guys, and then taking into account all the other factors like age (I'm 29, so the fact that the average age in my ward is 23 narrows my options), level or weirdness (cut the number of eligible guys over the age of 25 in half), the number of attractive guys who are unattached, etc.... It makes you realize there aren't as many options, as far as decent guys to date, as you'd hope. And it brings to light the fact that there are a lot of other single people out there who never get married and you are one of them that may never get married.
Just sayin' sometimes the singles ward makes you realize what a hopeless cause you are. hahahaha!
