Posted: 6/14/2008 8:04:26 PM | | Extraterrestrials sufficiently advanced to travel through space presumably would search for INTELLIGENT life forms. With that in mind, the fact that such beings have NEVER visited this planet is PROOF POSITIVE that they do in fact exist. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 8:56:57 PM | People have all different beliefs in life. As long as those beliefs are not harmful to the believer or others - I wouldn't see a problem with that. I have known people who believed in "life out there," but were perfectly normal. Then I have seen others who believe in Jesus Christ do emotional and even physical harm to other people.
I personally am a spiritual person - And have a bit of variety of beliefs. I believe in the power of prayer, the power of the mind, even some forms of mental magic. And I have seen some unexplainable outcomes & things happen using all of these techniques. I have seen things in my life that I can not explain. Were they ghosts, ufos, something else? Whose to say.. I keep an open mind and realize neither myself or anyone else has all the answers.
However I do believe in a higher power and forces bigger than us in this world and Universe.. Some may disagree with my perspectives, others may not. Some people believe in something.. others don't. It's not the "believers" job to convert anyone.. Nor is it the "unbelievers" job to condemn the believer. Live and let live.. as long as there is no harm done to anyone else.. and the person believing isn't a lunatic.
What if the guy who believed in ufos asked if he should date a woman who doesn't?? It shouldn't make a difference what his or your opinion is. If you 2 get along, and he can tell you why he believes - And you can tell him why you don't.. And it's all cool and in the context of normal conversation. Then I wouldn't worry too much about it. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:14:59 PM | | no, many people claim they saw ufo's? So what? As long as they didnt seem mentally ill and weird in many other aspects of their life I wouldnt really care. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:16:09 PM | | I would definitely date a woman who believes in UFOs. In fact I prefer women who believe in UFOs. What's wrong with having an Un-Fettered Orgasm? Those are the best kind! Total release is a good thing. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:23:25 PM | i saw a ufo once and that's exactly what it was.

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:24:44 PM | | I don't know? It depends on the person. One Ms. I talked to said she watched a UFO land in the distance when she was on vacation in North Carolina, where she swears there is an erie glow from certain parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the belt way during the night. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:28:30 PM | ~OT~ I've dated men that I swear were from another planet  so I suppose I would have no problem dating one that insisted his mother ship was arriving.  | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:30:30 PM | I really have heard it all; this is one of the most ridiculous questions I've seen on POF. How this affects a relationship is so beyond me.
There are better things to think about than this as a deal breaker. You really need to get out more. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 9:30:37 PM | OP,
I don't know about the "insisting" part, but I've seen a lot weirder shit in my lifetime than lights in the sky. Of course, mostly induced by massive doses of psychedelics, but, hey, it was fun.
Now, to the point I really wanted to make - given the number of galaxies "out there" (as well as some recent debate within the scientific community about where our universe is a unique occurrence, or not so "uni" as we have previously believed), a lot of which contain many stars and orbiting planets that are capable of supporting life (not necessarily life as we think of it, but that's another topic), it is highly improbable that we are the only living, intelligent creatures in this universe. Are we alone in this galaxy? That remains to be seen. I know a lot of highly intelligent people (include physicists, astronomers, and mathematicians) on both sides of the debate (and that's not the debate about crop circles, abductions, and all that other horseshit).
So I think the question you should really be asking yourself is : "is this person as reasonable and intelligent as I believe them to be?". A lot of intelligent, rational people believe in things that are not palatable to others and cannot be readily proven (hey, I believe in God, and I neither care what you think about it, nor try to preach either). But for every individual like that, there's about fifty window-licking idiots that will tell you that they've been abducted and anally probed, or that you're going to Hell for sin XYZ, or whatever silly shit crosses their bottlenecked synapses.
I could go on endlessly, but passing out seems like a wiser choice right now.

Posted: 6/14/2008 10:11:07 PM | Sure, why not? I don't particularly believe in UFOs in the pop culture sense, but I don't rule out the possibility since I DO believe it's logical that there's intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy, much less the universe. It's no different for me than being friends with or having a relationship with someone who believes other things in which I don't believe (the Biblical God, for instance) or astrology or ghosts (my long-term partner believed in ghosts, and he was a pretty sensible guy overall).
Mind you, if it was an extreme fixation, we'd probably not be too good a match. I prefer more moderation, even in belief structures.
Here's something I never knew about until recently (I heard about it because the brother of a friend has become obsessed with it). Apparently some people believe the elite and powerful people in the world are actually shape-shifting reptile people who live in a massive subterranean civilization. I thought he was pulling my leg at first, but there are scads of websites devoted to this. Google "reptile conspiracy." Strange stuff. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 11:06:37 PM | I'd probably be OK with the "belief" part, as long as she wasn't one of those tinfoil-haired wackos with coat hangers in all her windows and signs all over her car.
I personally don't believe in Extra-terrestrial life forms, because if they existed, and visited earth, they would have probably applied to our State Department for Foreign Aid! | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 11:14:06 PM | to me;
believing in UFOs makes more sense than
believing a G-O-D who came down here in human
form and crucified for our sins...bah!
so YES I would date, | |

Would that be a deal breaker for you if you didn't also believe?
opposites attract if I say I saw a little green man in a flying disk she can take that to the bank! | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 4:48:17 AM | I know I was pretty bummed out when my Kasimir directional plate failed over North America, and I was forced to ditch my craft in California. Our technology, much like yours, is subject to failure in unexpected and unique ways sometimes. Mine just happened to occur during entry into this solar system, due to a freak solar flare that happened to cause a plasma induced feedback charge that overwhelmed my ships immune system. Her inertial dampeners began to fail as we attempted to stabilize in a high geosynchronous orbit. She told me that she was unable to continue, but could put me down safely on Earth as a last resort. I tried to save her. She will be missed.
Unfortunately, your Radio Shacks don't carry the parts I needed for that model of gravimetric field generator.
Figures!
Now I've been reassigned to observational studies until arrangements are made for my extraction.
Please keep your children learning all they might about mathematics and science, and possibly your kind will be welcomed into the larger galactic community soon. We are eagerly awaiting the passage of just two more key acheivements, and it seems mankind will be ready.
Our expected window for this is now less than 4 years away.
P.S. If there are any post doctoral particle physicists out there that could help me out with a little math problem, it would be appreciated.
ROFLMAO | |

Would you date someone if they saw something in the sky they couldn't explain, but insisted it was an alien spacecraft?
I would date them, just think they are gullible and misguided as hell. This is not to misinterpreted from believing in the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, just the tendency in some to assign extraterrestrial orgins to anything they can't identify. | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 8:11:12 AM | | Well technically, if you see something in the sky and are not sure what it is, then it is definately a UFO. UFO simply means "Unidentified Flying Object". With this said, I would have a hard time dating someone who did NOT believe in the existance of UFO's. | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 10:23:17 AM | | No worries about the belief. There is so much that we don't know. I can't prove that flying saucers don't exist. Now... if his core values were dictated by what someone told him the little green men in the UFO said, then I'd have had a problem with that. Also, if he didn't recognise his belief as a belief rather than "the truth", there would've been a problem. | |

Posted: 6/15/2008 10:46:13 AM | I find it funny that 90% of the population says they believe in some variant of the invisible man in the sky AKA “God” yet UFOs and aliens oh that’s crazy talk…  | |
