Recap on Daviesgate. Thanks for commenting on Geoff’s post. Keep it up! The Honor Code is certainly a thrilling topic of discussion.
Al. Geoff. Two forlorn men on a quest to find love. We will tell you what the problem is, ladies, and what you can do to fix it.
The world is ending on May 21. Take that, Aztecs.
Time Magazine has decided that having children ruins families. Wait, what?
Geoff hates “Glee,” and Daily Universe writers should be ashamed of themselves.
Utah does well in a Gallup poll gauging the Happiness Index. Poor Kentucky.
Assorted items: Phoenix temple gets parking, upcoming LDS Tech conference.
Clicking!
hold the phone!! is Al REALLY 6'7"?! if so, I love him.
Yes of course, I come in sizes XTall.
let's be friends. there are few things I love more than an uber tall man.
There you are Al… take the lovely Miss Brittany on a date. 🙂
I'm so tempted to give away Brittany's identity and show everyone a web series in which she recently took part…
Geoff
HEY! HEEEEEEY! don't ruin this for me G!
also, I would like to thank G very very much for respecting a endowed woman. I went through on my own at 24 & I find it turns men off. Which I find insulting.
it's hardly a turn off, but neither should it be a requirement. Why is it a turnoff? Does something happen when you dance naked with goats in them there crazy mormon temples? -al
for some reason when men find out I'm endowed [but not an RM] they tend to disappear. I've been told [more than once] that it's because they're intimidated or that they feel like they don't have anything "up" on me… meaning we're on the same level as far as spirituality goes & it makes me feel like they can't brag/make me all googly-eyed. VERY, very few men have told me it's "cool". Men tend to think that women should "wait" for them to go through the temple. But that's crap. Getting one's endowments is NOT tied to temple marriage. Yes, you get them BEFORE marriage. But you shouldn't have to wait for a man to progress spiritually but many think that way.
That's really sad Brittany… Meeting a woman who has prepared herself to receive her own endowment (whether she be an RM or not), and then attends regularly becomes instantly MORE attractive in my eyes. 🙂 Yes, there is certain progression which can only be achieved together (another thing which is heavily emphasised in the endowment itself), but don't let those weak men hold you back from doing and being more!
Wow. What's wrong with these guys? Like we want a woman who is our "spiritual inferior" so that we can shape her as we please? That's absurd.
I agree that we need to get out of this mentality the the endowment is somehow ancillary to other "big" moments – missions and marriages. We view it as some secondary stepping stone when, as you said, Britt, it should be respected as an experience and commitment unto itself.

Well, I do live in Orem. That may be the issue. Men here are ridic. I have a friend who, on her mission, was told she could go to the temple by an Elder because he thought girls didn't go before their missions because "you can't go without a man". Cause, ya know, that makes total sense……..
*couldn't
Why is Al echoey/harder to hear this week?
Hmm, how bad is it?
I have tigers blood in my veins? -al

Hey, fellas – I appreciated your honesty in your "marriage list" discussion, so I thought I'd respond with some of my own. So, I searched my old journals and here is my Future Husband list from Mia Maids:
Returned missionary
Smart
Funny
Old-fashioned <–to be honest, I'm not sure what I meant with that one
Handsome (to me!) <–the qualifier is necessary so as not to seem shallow
And, contrary to Al's thoughts, most of the guys I've dated fit my list. Except that old-fashioned thing, because I still can't figure out what 14-year-old me was talking about.
Of course they fit that list. You made it when you were fifteen and it is quite general, no? 🙂
