Yes. It's a great place to preach. Atheists even label themselves for you.
You just have to pay for their dinner. Thanks for reminding me.

Are dating apps in any way good for Christians?
- Thread starter God's lonely asperger
- Start date
Update***
Some of you may know my story as I posted in this thread before and was also on the old Roosh V forum. I was trying to provide some hope. I wanted to wait until I had something solid before posting again.
I will give a short timeline of my experience below. Spoiler alert that my (now) wife approved me posting this.
- Met a younger (to me) Ecuadorian woman on Christian Cafe. She was in ministry and missions at one time. She is well educated and has travelled widely. She is a wholesome woman with only one former boyfriend and no intimate experience.
- Started corresponding by WhatsApp and checked out her background and social media accounts. I was amazed by her work with children. Started having American friends (of hers) reaching out to vet me and find out if I am real.
- Visited her family and friends. They are a conservative Christian family. One brother is in ministry. Met literally everyone. Her younger brother and I became good friends.
- Returned home and continued corresponding. Took a trip to Caribbean to propose.
- Arranged a date and married in Latin America. Can confirm wife was a virgin on our wedding night.
My hope is to eventually relocate to Ecuador (Cuenca?) where the cost of living is very low and I feel alive. You can live there for around $1,000 per month.
I can only speak of Ecuador. There are many nice devoutly Christian (and I imagine Catholic) Latinas there who would be delighted to meet and marry a gringo. Not that many tourists or young expats there in my experience. If I was single and had the means I would relocate there for a year and am certain I could find a nice and virtuous wife. I was never once asked for money by my then girlfriend.
Our relationship has already been tested by several unexpected life challenges and she is supportive and loving. She is always positive and has great faith. I don’t deserve this woman and believe God has a plan to use me to bless her in some way.
At one point I thought online dating was a joke and only tried it so I could cynically tell others it didn’t work. I keep telling my wife I thought I would meet a high mileage and grotesque American woman. Glad none were interested in me
.
If you are interested in Latinas I would suggest looking at less popular Latin American countries such as Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. I would imagine Colombia is saturated with hungry and potentially unsavoury gringos. Also, if you are in your mid to late-40s or early 50s be reasonable on expectations of appearance (if going a lot younger) and look for character and faith. Be kind and intentional and do your best to look neat and dress well. You should be looking for a woman with very high level of English ability and a university degree. If you are interested in a younger woman you must also be interested in having children. Be careful of setting expectations and don’t offer money or gifts until you have a solid relationship.
Anyway, I hope this offers a bit of hope to others. Maybe you don’t like my choice but it works well for me and I am happy. I went though a very bleak time and could never imagine this happening to me.

Awesome work? What is the age gap if you don’t mind me asking?
Great to hear. Not sure if I posted here or not, but my wife was found on the Catholic site as well. Four kids already with the youngest being a few months old.Update***

About 12 years. It is very possible to go even younger if that is your preference.
Good to hear. I think online stuff can work for sure. It lets you lay out all your criteria and see who is interested. Congrats on the large family!
One thing I know I have said before here is that the key to CatholicMatch is the profile question where they indicate if they agree or disagree with the teaching on contraception.
Thats a bridge too far for women who aren't serious about their faith and having a family.
Of the matches I talked to I found that the relationship between a "Yes" and me thinking "This person could be a good wife" (in the abstract, not necessarily for me specifically) was almost 1-1.
