Hard to find men who want to wait for marriage

NSFWNeed Advice

Hi everyone! I’m Carol from Brazil, and I’m looking for some advice and perhaps a bit of encouragement.

I’ve been finding it incredibly difficult to meet Christian men who are actually committed to waiting until marriage. In my local church, the ratio is tough—there are about 10 amazing women for every 1 man, so the 'competition' makes it feel almost impossible to find a relationship within my own community.

Beyond that, I’ve been feeling quite discouraged because even when I meet Christian guys outside of my church, most don't seem to want to wait. It’s honestly heartbreaking to get to know someone wonderful, only to realize their main focus is sex. I’m very intentional about my boundaries, my clothes, and my attitude, so it’s frustrating when intentions are misunderstood.

I’m a curvy girl and I’m confident in who I am, but the dating scene is starting to make me feel like giving up.

How do you ladies find men who truly value purity and waiting for marriage? How do you deal with the frustration of constantly meeting people with different values? I’d love to hear your experiences
