| Ladies, is being into God a turn off?
Posted: 8/18/2006 2:25:59 PM | Personally, I could not be in a long term relationship with someone that had no belief in God. My faith is very important to me, and it is my foundation in life. It would always be a factor and a demeaning difference that I could not ignore. I love to talk about spirituality and he would be in the dark. That would bother me greatly.

If your faith is important to you, then women who reject you for it, are not good for you. Its as simple as that. | |

Posted: 8/18/2006 7:29:37 PM | | There is no reason why it should be a turn off at all. It SHOULD BE A TURN ON!!!!. ANYONE that sees this as a turn off, well for them, I would pray!!!! | |

Posted: 9/1/2006 5:32:23 AM | | I have no problem dating a man who has a strong belief in god,,,,AS LONG as he doesnt go on and on and on about it and try to change my own beliefs. Your best bet is to find someone who is as enthusiastic in your new-found belief as you are. | |

I have a strong belief and desire to know God better. Is this a turn off?
I'm on the other side of the fence regarding your dilemma, so maybe I can share what I’ve learned from my experience.
I skimmed through the responses.
You have decided that you want to know God and now this has narrowed your options as far as the women you date, whether it is by your choice or theirs.
Before you chose this path, did it really matter to YOU, if the woman you were with was Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or just worshiped a life size Play-Doh sculpture of Brad Pitt.
Before you were indifferent and women had to feel you out and get to know you. Since you had no proclamations, this made you available to a greater number of women.
Now you've proclaimed your faith and have defined yourself a little better to any prospective women on the prowl. Women who are like-minded will be more attracted to you and what you believe, where as women who don’t see eye to eye with you will simply go elsewhere.
Bad News: There will be fewer women interested in you. DON’T take this personally.
Good News: Women who come about are more inclined to be with you for the long hall and appreciate you for who you are. There will be fewer insecurities because there will be less of a (for lack of a better term) language barrier between you and your partner.

Posted: 9/1/2006 7:36:51 AM | | I can't see how a belief and love for god is a bad thing. I am a firm christian. But i also go out and drink and go to the clubs sometimes. My belief has formed who I am as a person. A person who is spirtual i believe is more respectful and not all about themselves. I do not push my religion on anyone I date nor do i even talk about it unless they bring it up. Just because something is important to someone doesn't mean they are going to think negativly on another because they don't believe the same way. | |

Posted: 9/1/2006 8:20:02 AM | Having a belief is not wrong at all ..pushing it on others ...wrong .... having it as the main topic of conversation or bringing it up all the time .....wrong ...
Just my thoughts | |

Posted: 9/1/2006 7:31:22 PM | Personal spiritual beliefs that enrich the person's life = cool.
But I'm as turned off by "religious" people as I am by people who watch TV all the time. Both practices numb the mind to reality in the worst possible way: by tricking people into thinking that they are making them MORE aware of reality. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 1:58:50 AM | Having a relationship with God is a prerequisite for men I date. They don't have to be religious but have the belief in God.  The rest will work itself out.
I don't drink, do drugs, and don't do much clubbing but I still manage to have alot of fun and plenty of dates. | |

Heh, if being Christian interferes with your worldly fun, just think how much of a pain in the butt hell is going to be. Just think, no need to worry about doing your hair or worrying about your eyebrows or shaving your legs.
You won't have any hair to worry about ;)
I think this is exactly what a lot of people who find it turn-off are referring too. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 8:17:37 AM | it's sad to see that because of the way some people act as a religious person, many people are turned off by other religious people...
as a Christian you should be able to participate in fun and healthy activities with any person, you should be an example of a well lived and fruitful life so that when people say, "you are so lucky or you are such a great person etc.. etc.. " you can explain that it is because you are a Christian person. I think people should want to know about your life and shoving religion down the throat of any one is NOT good at all and totally not what Christianity is about.
I am a Christian and I can tell you that I have tons of friends and family who love being around me and I throw parties all that time where I have to push people out the door to make them leave at 3am... Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am fun and a good person to be around. I have answered questions about my Christianity when I have been asked and I have answered other questions to the best of my ability and I KNOW I have never shoved Christianity down anyone's throat...
just my 2 centavos
OT: totally agree with SteveHD as to an answer to OP. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 11:00:34 AM | | I don't think any aspect of one's likes has to be a turnoff. We all believe and think differently, whether politically, religiously or otherwise. As long as they don't try to argue or win someone else over, but respect the other person's beliefs and opinions, it doesn't have to have any influence on a relationship. Mutual respect is a total necessity for a successful relationship, and that certainly extends to those areas. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 11:19:05 AM | | If you were brought up with religion as some of us were than that is fine- Both my children are involved in youth groups/church groups etc. but we don't go to church every Sunday. You said that this is just a recent turnover for you and that gets me to wondering why you have decided to go with God at this point of your life. Usually that means you needed to find a higher power as a result of a 12 step program or something- I may be wrong but some of the most immoral people I know are now born again Christians and like to discuss it openly which I find is a turn off. If you know God- then so be it- if you just found God and feel you need to shout it to the world- yes - big turn off. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 4:34:14 PM | It is a turn-off for those who do not have the same beliefs as you. I think that this is an easily answered question - I mean would you want to be with an athiest who puts down your beliefs?
If religion/god is important in someone's life, wouldn't it be nice to share something that is that important with your life partner? | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 5:18:27 PM | | No way...I'm thinking about packing up & moving to Georgia where the Christian people are.....j/k I think itat's great. People who have God in their lives seem much happier & and a lot more genuine. Wished more were like that. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 7:34:19 PM | Just a comment, but c'mon now. She/he could be shorter, taller, skinny, heavy, it's not the differernces that keep people apart, it's finding that person that you can accept and love just for who they are. And trust me, if and when you do, none of that matters. I cannot and will not ever believe that religious, political, or any other beliefs, ideas, opinoins has ever interfered or prevented two people who love each other having a great relationship. It's a matter of priorities, and if someone truly does want to find someone they can love and be happy with, then none of this would matter.
It shouldn't, and it doesn't need to. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 8:09:35 PM | I avoid religion. I study it a lot, especially secular sources of history on religion, and the things I learn often validate my belief in a higher power. I just dislike doctrine applied to my life. I won't dis anyone who does it to their own life, but I feel that my strong will would either pull a man from his spiritual path or break the relatioship apart. I think it's best for me to avoid a partner who lives by doctrine. However, I also don't want to be with an atheist. God is very strong in my life.

Posted: 9/2/2006 8:52:44 PM | | Not to get too Theological here, but it is not about what is a turn off or turn on to ladies or men that matters, but what is a "turn off " or "turn on" to God , meaning it doesn't matter what the other person thinks, what matters is that you your faith and if she/he don't like it..............................PRAY for them, and just kindly say ta ta. | |
