Sadly, your advice to men leaves pretty much only foreign women. Most Americans fit your description of who to run from. Marriage has become a bartering rather than a partnering. Men see it as a bad deal as many women will stay ten years so she can get a piece of his retirement and then take half of what he has and turn his kids against him.
Overall I see feminism as being designed to prevent marriage and children so we can get to the sustainable population of 500,000,000 that men like Gates want. Only seems to be working with those of European descent. Other groups are having large families. Add birth control, abortion, pandemics, wars and at some point the euthanasia of "useless eaters" since they are now offering to put down those with Mental Health issues in some places and it would get to that number if Christ was not coming back to intervene. May even be a part of what they strongly promote the gay lifestyle since the cannot reproduce.
If I were young and single, I would head to Asia for a wife or the back hills of other countries where a woman would just be content with a man who would love and care for them. Indeed, the change in lifestyle would make her feel like she married a rich man.
I also tell men to marry the 5/6 girl, not the 10. 10s are high maintenance and far more apt to cheat or take a man for all that he has. I tell the women the same. The 5/6 man will be so thrilled to have a 7/8 he will do all he can to keep her. Besides there are far more 5/6 men and women to choose from than 10s.
I once considered being a Mennonite, but I am retired military and hold other doctrines that prevented that. I did once speak with a group of them and they liked what I said about 1 Cor 11.I don’t know. If I was a young Protestant man, I would join the Amish. I have had all the skills and tools to be useful and productive.
If you could handle all politics of which suspenders don’t breech the Ordnung, why not.
One of the big problems with the Amish is genetic diversity, increasingly their children are be born munted, or requiring lifetime special medical.
Everyone knows their roles, works hard and prays and supports one another. Find a wife in there young fellas and have a big God fearing family, and working hard, you will stay fit and strong.

Indeed, since the Amish have their "free time" where anything goes I am surprised they did not suggest that during the fling the women come back pregnant to introduce some diversity. Some Mennonites have gone so far off the rails it is sad so for the Amish to rogue is not outside of the realm of possibly.
Not being Catholic, the Eucharist would not be an issue. I can allow them to be Pacifists, but they might not want me around. I am a Securist and that would be a problem for them. Now, there are some branches that have women pastors and are very Liberal.
