Wrong.
This new "Mid-Singles" group is for singles ages 27-45! Yikes! As the website put it, the Mid-Singles group was created "to better serve the needs of singles in the Church who are no longer young enough to fit in with the "Young Single Adult" group but who do not yet feel comfortable attending the all-inclusive social activities for singles between 31 and 100."
Are they trying to slow phase us out of the young single adults group? I didn't think 27 was that old. I can still party with the "young" people. My coworkers think I'm 22 or 23 because I'm so awesome. Anyway, so now I feel really old. And they want us to go to some mid-singles group to hang out with scary older people (I'm referring to the people over 40). I don't want some 45 year old trying to hit on me. I'm pretty sure the guys there aren't going to look like this:
Age 44or this:
Also 44But probably more like this:
Maybe I'm stereotyping, but I don't care. This guy would scare me if he came up to me and told me I looked nice or something. What would I even have in common with someone in their 40's? I like being single, but knowing that this is what is out there for me scares me. A lot. Good thing I'm only 24 and don't have to worry about this for a few years.

That is ridiculous. But, what if they did look like Johnny? I'm just saying . . .
I thought that same thing when we got word of that conference down here.
Hey, go get yourself a sugar daddy Kate. Nothing wrong with that.
Kate, you are hilarious. I can't believe they're trying to do that. I thought the point of "graduating" the singles to an older singles ward was to get rid of the creepy old guys. I vote you move to DC or New York - singles wards are very different out there. Good thing you are 24 - plan on staying that way for the next 15 years or so.
... I'm relieved that you are NOT old enough to be tortured by this CRUEL and unusual punishment! 27 is NOT close to 45 and I don't think I've ever met any 44 year old that was good looking enough for me to get over the fact that he's almost 1/2 century old... sorry, but I wouldn't do it... good thing I'm only 24 too!
this is my theory: you know how guys always like hitting on younger women? well, these guys don't want to hit on women who are in their 30s... i mean, that's almost the same age! so the church is trying to trick them into going to the conference by telling them there will be people in their 20s there. but we all know it will be a trick because no self respecting 20 something will be going. (which is probably fine too... the non self respecting 20 somethings will be there.)
Thats a pretty interesting post Kate, but heres something to cheer you up- look at my blog!!!! Hope it helps cause I think your amazing and seriously at times i get so jealous of all your travels and interesting life!!
