I hear this from a lot of Baha'is. Crummy LSA leadership, no emphasis on spirituality, social bonds, Baha'u'llah, or anything enriching. Just busywork, Ruhi, and lots of talk of "unity".

I've read Baha'u'llah's writings, if nothing else, he was a talented religious poet, and a man of obvious spiritual focus. I think you might want to look into maybe finding your own way as a person of faith. The Baha'i Faith seems to have crystalized into something that Baha'u'llah would likely not recognize, and find tragic, and weird.

Church is a good place to meet women. There are Christians of all races and skin colors. Heck, there are even Coptic Christians who are not ethnically Egyptian. If you feel bummed out by the Baha'i Faith, that's ok, you're not alone.
