[quote=Anonymous]This is not a new phenomenon at all, it’s just new to the writers at the New York Times. I grew up in a Russian church and we did attract a lot of handsome young men who were lost souls and were sort of attracted to the authoritarian nature of Orthodoxy. I think they found us through their own reading and search for meaning, since this was before the internet was so prevalent. Pretty entertaining for me as a teen. Most of them drop off fairly quickly but some stayed and I think had relatively normal lives. This is another thing being I guess enhanced by the internet where these guys can all find each other. The article made these guys sound like a bunch of incel losers which is probably only about half true. And while I disagree with a lot of practices in the Orthodox Church, it’s generally a pretty wholesome environment and probably healthier for these men than wherever else they would have ended up.[/quote]
