Too many unattractive traits

[Got it]

Wrong Einstein

 

Post such as yours are useless....because you just like to be condescending.

 

Women dismiss me before they even meet me, or have a chance to know me. They dismiss based on the traits I listed....beforehand.

 

Its easy for you to sit in your high and mighty chair....chuckling to yourself...while dictating your self indulged intellectual remarks....but next time actually take time to add some relevance to your comments.

 

Yep definitely attitude! People avoid people like you like the plague. And it radiate off of you.

 

Sorry you could be 6'5, religious, with 10 kids, and a high school drop out and you would still be up the creek without a paddle.

 

Cheers! :laugh:

[MrTurk]

jeez you are judgemental and superficial. is that's what is in your bible? thought the bible was about inner beauty. lol. proves my long held theory that religious people are the most superficial hypocrites of them all.

 

I dont think shes being judgmental or superficial. I think shes speaking the truth....which tends to be lacking on this forum too much. This forum would do a lot better with more honesty....and less coddling.

Channing Tatum, Vin Diesel, and Michael Jordan say hi.

 

So do Bruce Willis, Chris Daughtry, Jason Stratham, Taye Diggs, LL Cool J, The Rock.

 

Drooling now! LOL Famous or not, these guys would all be hot and turn heads.

 

 

I will take a Vin Diesel and Jason Statham sandwich please! ;-)

 

And FYI Chris Daughtry is 5'8".

[Star Gazer]

every one rich and famous.

 

I would screw any one of them if I found them in a blue collar outfit hanging out at a dive bar. They are SEXXXXXXXY, especially Bruce. :love:

[xxoo]

There's a man who runs on the same trail as me, mid 40s, about 5'8", looks like Jason Statham--same face, same hairline. I'm sure he's married, as am I (family neighborhood). Still, I always perk up a little when he runs by, and try not to blush. He's so hot

 

In fact, he doesn't look all that different from my husband

When people are looking for a relationship, they are usually wanting someone who is compatible with their faith. Hence, why the OP is facing some rejection on those grounds from women who have a faith. 95%+ of people in the U.S. believe in a higher power.

What a load of hooey.

 

Statistics on Religion in America Report -- Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life

 

The survey finds that the number of people who say they are unaffiliated with any particular faith today (16.1%) is more than double the number who say they were not affiliated with any particular religion as children. Among Americans ages 18-29, one-in-four say they are not currently affiliated with any particular religion.

To be fair, she said 95% of Americans believe in a higher power, not that they ascribed to a particular faith. I would be someone that fits into that 95%... not religious at all, but do believe in a higher power.

[MrTurk]

I've had a few women, and some children tell me I resemble "Neo" when his head was shaved...in the movie The Matrix....played by Keanu Reeves.

Let's say you're highly attracted to a man and subsequently find out he's an atheist. Are you saying you'd reject a date request because of his atheism? That's what Kathy's saying.

[bentleychic]

I'm more likely to reject someone super religious that someone than is atheist or agnostic. However, if they're super religious and don't care what I am nor try to shove it down my throat (er...their religion), we'd be fine.

Mmmmhmmm...and he just gets better with age, too.

I ponder the same question....I made a thread about it a short time ago...

LOL glad my thread can be of use to you in ways I never imagined on this Sunday afternoon

[MrTurk]

 

You seem to be very resentful when people don't respond to you the way you think they ought to

 

I dont know if I'm really all that resentful as I come across on here

 

I do know that I am immensely analytical....and philosophize these situations more than I should.

 

I think a good part of it is that I expect people and society to be different than they are....whereas I am the one that doesnt fit in.

Oh, so Christian women are not allowed to have any preferences whatsoever. Otherwise she is being judgemental, superficial and hypocritical. She has no right to want to be physically attracted to a person she dates. No right to make any choices based on prior history, whether the guy even wants children, or any choice based on what faith he is. Because Christian women actually have preferences, just like any other women, they are superficial for not selecting any man that is interested in them. Somehow I never read that part in the Bible where we are not allowed to have preferences of any kind--not even in the man's faith.

Anyone can have any preferences. But it's a load of bunk that people only date within their self-described faith since so many faith reported individuals aren't practicing, whereby non-faith is the most rapidly growing sector of the population, whereby 25% of individuals under 30 have now self-described as being non-affiliated.

 

All you've done is to inflate the importance of something that isn't that important to many, by making an irrational leap to the stat of 95%.

Sharing the same faith is important to the majority who are looking for a long term relationship. Apparently, the fact that the OP is an atheist was a dealbreaker for many/most women he encountered, hence one of the reasons he started this thread. There was another male poster on LS just recently who complained of the same thing--women rejecting him because he was an atheist and they were a theist. My point is it is important to many people who are looking for a long term relationship, and it will be a dealbreaker for many women if the guy is an atheist.

Sharing faith is important to individuals who feel that sharing faith is a priority item. If it is important, they will reject individuals who don't share same faith, whether a different faith or non-faith.

 

You're taking the fundie perspective.

Apparently, it's important to a lot of people if these guys are getting a lot of rejection for that reason.

[fortyninethousand322]

But OP says he has a number of undesirable traits. Well at least according to him.

 

His lack of religion is just one among several. It's possible that if he was 6 foot tall with a full head of hair or whatever and still an atheist he'd be ok. At least that's the nature of this thread, if I'm reading right.

If a couple of guys are getting rejected for a lot of same, it's time to stop targeting fundies.

Correct. I firmly believe through my experience with women since my divorce....that all 5 of those traits together are a downfall.

 

Again...I dont see them as undesirable...I'm simply stating that you will be hard pressed to find a woman that accepts all 5.

 

Not saying its 100% impossible....just very unlikely.

 

Can you imagine if at my age(42)....if I had never been married yet?? That would be another blow

And thats exactly my point in my other thread about dating and religion.

 

Their religion is a non-issue for them on a daily basis.....until they find out that I'm non-religious.....then all hell breaks loose.

Well, I say this as someone who is religious, but only nominally so: I'd have big reservations about dating someone who was an atheist. I could date someone from another faith, but probably not an atheist. I think there would be some issues with compatibility.

 

But that's just me.

I didn't read your other thread.

 

Is it that you're non-religious or is it that you're disrespectful of faith? You'll find that there are plenty of moderates that don't care, as long as you're respectful of differences. The fundies of religion and non-belief, will get rejected more often than moderates.
