Did any of you other guys always go to the district convention hoping you would find that dream JW girl you had always been looking for?
Yes, and met several girls there. Problem being they usually lived so far away. I don't know about them being mean - at least no meaner than other girls their age.
Things were wierd growing up JW and it didn't help give me any social skills for dating. At my hall, asking a girl out on a date was very serious. "Dating is for marriage..." and all that crap. It felt like proposing to even ask a girl out. Couples that started dating and broke up were as scandalous as a divorce. At first, my sex drive was pushing me for marriage/relationship because that's the only way you're supposed to "get some" as a JW.
After a couple more years of becoming more "worldly" and having relationships with non-JW girls, I wasn't as serious and I found dating girls (JW and non-JW) much easier. In our new hall, once it was known we drank and were "cool", my brother and I were pursued by several girls who weren't giving us the time of day before. All of them, however, seemed to want somebody strong in "the truth". But there 2 different kinds of girls. Some that really meant that. They wanted Mr. Good Guy. Others wanted somebody strong in "the truth", but they wanted them to be a bit bad.
I think most of the JW girls are pretty much like other girls. Some want to live by religious rules and date somebody just as strict. Others want to have fun and excitement and live a little more dangerously. And it all depends on attraction too. The one thing in common is that most of them wanted to stay JWs. I was the same way from a guy's standpoint. I wanted to stay a JW, but find somebody who could be more fun. Whenever we'd meet girls at conventions, they seemed to be quizing us on how "spiritual" we were. Maybe we took it the wrong way though. Maybe they wanted us to not be so spiritual...
The problem with the "wilder" ones is that once in a while, they develop a conscience and decide to go to the elders. Or, if you hurt their feelings, they might go to the elders. I wound up on the outs with the "in" group in our hall and I think that was over one girl. She was so hot for me, but I wasn't really attracted to her. But, one night we ended up making out anyway. She was so inexperienced. She was just in a daze, probably thinking "It's finally happening, I found my man, etc.". She wasn't very "active". I avoided her after that and all of a sudden, the whole "in crowd" was marking us. Some of them were confessing their own drinking, etc. Big mess.
I left the JWs a few years later and stayed single until my early 30's. I married a great non-JW girl. I am SO happy I never really clicked with any of the JW girls I dated. I'd hate to have been stuck in a relationship where I was the "non-believer" mate.
