Perry’s Advice for the Single Guy

It seems to be the consensus that this was the highlight of yesterday’s message for women. Ironically, this outtake from Perry’s message was actually delivered to single guys. Here’s the video:

In case you missed it, here’s the outtake from the previous message in this “Beautiful” series. Are you settling for crumbs?

    Hilarious! Made me LOL. As a single girl, this is SO true. Why do guys think it’s appropriate to kinda sorta maybe ask you out via text message? If I were a dude in the audience, I’d be taking notes.

    “Go blog about me, I could care less”

    HA! Classic.

    Seriously though I love the pray for her and then go beg God for a second date thing. Never thought about that, definitely will do that.

    Awesome! How I wish the preachers talked like this when I was a teen! It would have saved a TON of heartache and wrong choices! I want to get our whole High School department to hear this series!

    YES!!! I am fortunate enough to be the daughter and wife of a real man and have a son who has grown some as well! I went through a few bad dates and wimpy guys I turned down before the right one found me. Thanks for putting this out there. I hope any guy planning to date my daughter will hear this and get a set of his own!

    Is Perry trying to bring the “front tuck” back? – that had nothing to do with growing a set or Eunuchs.

    This message is crucial and should be played nationally to give the other schmucks out there a chance to regain their manhood and claim their rights to secure a godly woman.

    It’s easy to yell at us and say “grow a pair.” But masculinity isn’t something one decides on their own to “grow.”

    According to John Eldredge, “masculinity bestows masculinity.” The problem is that most of us were raised by fathers who didn’t have a pair who were raised by fathers who didn’t have a pair either. They did the best they could but couldn’t teach us what they didn’t have.

    Most of us don’t discover that we are missing something until after a traumatic event(s) shows us. I grew mine with the help of my Al-Anon sponsor and by working the 12 steps.

    Hey anonymous,

    I understand completely. I was annoyed and offended, because I should have been annoyed and offended, the truth tends to do that.

    My dad left at an early age as well. I was never taught how to be a man in respect to women, unless you count the U.S. Army. It wasn’t until meeting Jesus and becoming involved in church that I had any mentoring at all.

    I understand your situation. I grew up in your situation. But there is a time to take personal responsibility for your (my own) situation and move on accordingly. This video was a great (painful) spur for me.
