You are right. And this is just an observation from where I am. It is less uncomfortable for a man. No...I’m not a feminist or one who yells about discrimination however, it is different for women. Older single women (not those that are widowed) are looked at unfavorably or with pity which is disgusting. Can’t explain it but I don’t feel too encouraged it will be any different in any other church.

We men are pretty prideful creatures so I am not so sure that I'll agree.
When I was younger and I saw an older woman in church, I never thought anything of it. I did feel that a lot of the single men were there trying to hook up with women.
It would be great if a church could just treat everyone of us the same. Unfortunately, we're just human.
I encourage you to keep seeking. I know I need to do the same.
