Time To Dismember (Rants of September){OLD}

He can’t get sick from touching a vaxxed person’s skin. There is no such cause and effect. He may have a lousy immune system, he may get sick, but it is not from your vaccination status.

Run as fast as you can in the other direction. Concentrate on your new job and making a secure life for yourself. New, non-whackadoodle friends will show up any day.

I know that. You know that. Try convincing him of that.

I guess the question is, what sterling qualities could possibly compensate for:

  1. Holding harmful irrational beliefs
  2. Expecting people to cater to those beliefs

A relationship with this person will result in pressure to accept these beliefs. That doesn’t even sound like a good basis for a friendship, much less a relationship.

Obviously it’s the hot, desperate sex.

You are way off, there.

This excellent advice needs to be emphasized, along with its positive sentiments. The person @SuntanLotion is talking about may have some good qualities, but he may not be entirely sane and therefore not entirely predictable. In the most optimistic possible scenario, he’s just not very bright.

Well, there’s that. The last thing that any of us would ever want is for you to have your mind, body, and soul beaten into submission by some Penicidal Maniac*.

*Also, that might not be a word.

I’m actually going to look that up.
Nah, when we dated two years ago, he told me he has issues, it takes him some tries with a new women before it …works. we tried. Didn’t work. Also logistically, his weight kindof got in the way.
People should stop presuming; I don’t desire sex, physically because menopause.
Google says no such word.

I know. But “Intensity” (1997) is a real movie… and before you bond too much with him, you should watch it. I don’t know your neighborhood, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t need another traffic light: One black eye for ‘Go’, two black eyes for ‘Stop’.

So, he can read the Torah. That shouldn’t impress you much.

Does he get to tell you,

"I translated The Book of Ruth from the Greek… and it not only says, ‘Know Your Place’… but the next line says, ‘Git me mah Sammich! Now, Woman!’.

And git me my Invermectin Foot Ointment. My feets be sore and smelly and in need of your rubbin’…"

This is why I love the Dope. I can get objective, wise opinions.
Thank you.

Well, obviously I say this in The Pit because I certainly must absolutely hate you!
I must hate you so much that I consistently encourage you not to jump off into the Abyss of this horrific human meat-grinder of a man, who will no doubt grind you up and destroy you. You won’t even be conscious of it as he chews you up and swallows you down his gullet.

Of course, this is all just figurative alliteration. Obviously, he would never beat you, tenderize you, and eat you up. Such things just don’t happen in the real world.

Um, I wasn’t being sarcastic. Am sincere.

Oh dear, that won’t do in the pit :wink: .

Sincerely, I don’t think a Covid denier and Trumpist is a good prospective match. You may try not talking about anything you disagree about. It works for some, but not many.

Thats actually not the sticking point there.
I deserve a man who’s willing to die for me, he doesn’t think I’m worth getting sick for.

I say this sincerely- wonderful progress!

You do deserve that. You also deserve someone who isn’t going to drag you down in their delusions either.

I will say that even though we are warning you to stay away, as in this classic Far Side illustration:

…It is encouraging that you recognize that the fact that he treats you well is a good thing. I’m not being condescending, I myself have had that problem in the past. We aren’t always attracted to people who will treat us right, and learning to value that is not as easy as people might think.

But not someone steering you onto a path with potentially fatal consequences.

The Dr. McCullough this guy urges you to follow is a well-known Covid denialist and antivaxer. He’s affiliated with a supplement company and pushes a product for “spike detox”. Avoid the crazy.

I hope you know that I was lying… and that I really do mean the very best for you…

I do now. Are there any decent men out there?

IMHO, decent is a low bar.
