Candace Cameron Bure Criticizes Online Dating Culture, Gives Advice For Finding a ‘Godly Man’

Candace Cameron Bure has been married for three decades, but that hasn’t stopped her from having strong opinions about current dating trends.

“What I believe is lost today is human connection,” the Full House alum, 49, complained in a clip from her The Candace Cameron Bure podcast shared with Us Weekly on Monday, January 12. “Because of our phones, because of social media, because of dating apps.”

The actress noted that those are “good tools” and said she knows people who have met through dating apps or, in the case of her cohost Madi Prewett Trout, who appeared on The Bachelor in 2020, people who met on reality TV.

“But it’s really, like you said, a person’s not going to drop on your front door like an Amazon package,” the Dancing with the Stars alum continued. “So you do have to put yourself out there and not hide behind your phone or the screen. Or be afraid to have a real conversation with someone to talk to them on the phone and not just text them.”

The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries star, who has been married to husband Valeri Bure since 1996, also suggested that women should go to “places to find the type of people that you want to date,” adding that someone looking for a “godly man” shouldn’t bother heading to a bar.

“You might find him there,” she said with a laugh. “But [it] might not be the best place.”
