Everest wearing only a pair of swimming trunks &#8211; foolhardy and most likely to leave you frozen in your tracks.<\/p>\n<p>There are other similarities among all groups of men when it comes to dating. Men in Christian and non Christian circles are attracted to beautiful women. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. Whether a man of faith or not, men want to date women who are attractive, intelligent, interesting and interested in them.<\/p>\n<p>There are also differences among men when it comes to dating. It\u2019s faith that ends the similarities between the groups of men. Christian men are instructed to date women of faith.<\/p>\n<p>That instruction is from the Bible and is found in II Corinthians. Why is that instruction so important for men of faith? Because as a Christian, faith is to be the foundation upon which you build your future relationships with the opposite sex. When the foundations don\u2019t match up, you can\u2019t build the kind of relationship God intends for you to have with one another.<\/p>\n<p>There are some Christians who believe that Christians shouldn\u2019t date at all, but those beliefs are usually based on seeing how the world views dating. They believe that dating is simply an invitation to intimacy. Dating as a Christian man doesn\u2019t mean you have to or will date the way society deems acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>As a Christian man, there is a right way and a wrong way to date. The articles on this site will help you understand the ins and outs of dating and act as a map for navigating around the potholes you may encounter along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word dating is powerful among men &#8211; a great equalizer, whether you\u2019re a Christian or not.
