Re: Can someone explain Mormon to me?
one other crazy mormon cultural phenomenon. When missionaries come back from their missions they pretty much turn into brad pitt in the eyes of LDS girls. seriously a bottom tier RM will out class the vast majority of guys who haven't gone. this is because once a guy returns from his mission, he is eligible to be married and LDS women aren't too keen on waiting to be married.
If you were to go to a random BYU classroom/dormroom the vast majority of the gossip you would hear would concern who is marrying who, who is planning on proposing and how. I don't know the numbers, but i am pretty sure the vast majority of students at BYU are married by the time they graduate. I have even heard several stories of girls getting proposed to 2 or 3 times in a month from different guys. its something that has always blown my mind.
these facts may or may not be even more pronounced at BYU-Idaho, i am not sure though, i only have some anecdotal evidence to go on.
