Whenever I find some girl that I think might be interested in me, I found out she’s super religious. Somehow, the topic of her fondness for “speaking in tounges” or attending daily hour long scripture reading sessions only gets brought up after I become totally infatuated with her.
:smack:
Are Female Atheist Democrats that like classic rock and eschew country music THAT hard to find?
Not at all. I’m involved in a long-distance relationship with a girl in England who is absolutely beautiful, atheist, and perfect in nearly any other way I can think of. Keep looking, they’re rare but they’re out there.
You reminded me of the situation I was in once where I had to explain to this awesome woman in a nightclub just what an agnostic was (when I stil considered myself one) when she asked if I was Catholic since we had met earlier at my cousin’s wedding. I decided to be honest rather than faking that I still believed, I could feel her interest cooling from the instant she said, “What’s that?”
Story of my life, having a theological discussion in a noisy nightclub 25 feet away from a karaoke contest.
I sympathize, Blalron… as an atheist who lives in the Bible Belt and hates kids, I have a VERY hard time finding compatible women.
Why not ask about her religious inclinations BEFORE becoming attached to her? You should be safe… if she’s a fellow atheist, she’ll surely understand your desire to weed out the religious girls as quickly as possible.
Some people believe in religion. You believe in infatuation. Others believe that long-distance relationships work. I happen to believe that turtle eggs are laid by elephants that have been stung by bees. Each to his own.
If it makes you feel any better (OK, it won’t):
I’m a religious guy, and I can’t find a nice, intelligent religious girl.
But I do know several attractive, nice atheists.
Sorry.
Don’t get me wrong. I see a big difference between religion and spirituality but a woman who takes her faith seriously can also be a serious hottie. Why do you think I married one.
I don’t think the problem is religion per se, but rather this:
I am not here to change or challange people’s inner most points of view and I would respect the believes a woman I am dating has got, but one time I had that same problem: A “super religious” girl was hitting on me and it made me feel uneasy. Imho it shows a disrespect for my believes, when a person talks about their religion non-stop and tries to convert me.
Blalron, if you lived in North Carolina, I’d know the perfect woman for you. I have a friend who fits your description exactly. Oddly enough, it’s HER who can’t seem to get into a relationship. For having the above qualities.
I was an extremely sexually non-repressed library assistant, does that count?
My only other contribution of note is that my life-long fantasy is to seduce a cute young door-to-door proselytizer. (If it’s Mormons, we can have a threesome!)
