Hi everyone,

My daddy went to see a few girls.

He saw each one, once or twice, but courted only one woman, before he courted and married Mama. For daddy to court a woman, he had high standards for her to meet, such as good inner personality, high morality and the work ethic, and he did not do much searching. He eventually saw the girl he wanted and stepped up to her for the opportunity for them to court. Now, one of my uncles almost didn’t marry a girl, whom he sent to college, and she graduated, because she “grinned” too much, he told me. Good men evaluate women and, when they do not meet their standards, they veer from them, and, if they do not, the outcome will perhaps unpleasant.
Fortunately, my uncle married her and, from a lot of observation, I saw that he loved some of her weighs in marriage, and was less enthusiastic over others. Overall, he became a happy man with her because she had a college education and carried him places and introduced him to friends he would not likely have met.

My daddy and an uncle have set the standard for you to use to date and marry a woman. When she does not meet your standards, quit her and that will encourage more women to be wonderful girls and adults who make you proud.

Again, when it comes to women men want to marry, this is part of their world.
