I run a Christian dating website – www.fusion101.com – and I have noticed over many years (I have run it since 2000) that the one thing that comes up in the ‘characteristics desired’ question on the profile pages is ‘funny’ – in other words most ladies want a man that can make them laugh.

Of course this is no problem and most men know this and it’s why you see men going to often great extremes to get a woman’s attention by using humour and there is a perfectly good place for this – I mean who wants to go out or marry someone and have no humour in the relationship.

A disturbing trend

What worries me is what I don’t see often enough (rarely in fact in the ladies – or men’s profiles) is that people are seeking after a good man – a man of God – a man that loves God with his heart mind and soul! Surely ladies and gents this has to be infinitely more important than ANY other traits on our ‘wishlist’ – something I find somewhat dubious in my older greyer days.

My Christian dating advice for men and women everywhere is please – please – please make this your number one thing – even if it means sacrificing humour or some other nice but largely superficial trait. The Bible tells us so!
