Open-minded don't always mean its a sexual thing. It is saying I don't abide to a particular rule to how I behave, language I speak, interest blah...

Oh they do.. do they???
Hey I am an open minded woman,broad-minded, liberal, progressive, tolerant,I have a good attitude...well I am a broad!
I am beginning to see the wisdom in the meet and greet coffee dates did you men know
that moderate doses of caffeine can make women more easily convinced by arguments
that go against their beliefs (more openminded)...so forget the booze get her coffeed up! She might open more than her mind..ha!

Well, well, well! From a lot of the replies, it seems that a fairly large percentage of the women here are not so much 'narrow-minded' as 'one-track-minded.' Why do so many of them just ASSUME that 'open-minded' has to do with group sex/bestiality/voyeurism?!?! Says a hell of a lot about the women who post these sorts of replies to the OP. VERY low-brow. And, of course, yet MORE generalizations of the opposite gender. The same old, boring "tar 'em all with the same brush" mentality that only ensures that they'll stay single (and bitter) for a long, long time.

It just dawned on me. Are any of us REALLY 'open minded'... read some of the responses here.

Some naturally think of it as open to sexual natures.. some don't...BUT... thing is when we voice whichever it is that our initial reaction to the term is... a few take personal offense. and, those, taking offense, are the ones who say they are 'open minded'.

Sooooo.... back to my original statement in this post. Are any of us really 'open minded'?

well, hate to burst the bubble - not all women feel that a man who posts 'wants an open-minded woman' is looking for sex.

however, if the following diatribe in the profile is open inuendos, that would give one pause as to whether the open-minded comment was a seque into come hither to my parlor said the spider to the fly...

i've seen profiles of women who do the same thing - so the tar-filled brush flies both ways.

myself, open-minded statements are best defined by the follow-up response given when a contact is extended... in other words, if i send an e-mail introducing myself to get to know someone and their response or lack thereof (because they've read my profile which states that i'm not looking for intimate, romantic relationships at this time) is more indicative of wanting more than getting to know me that pretty much paints the picture of their definition of open-minded...

i let the person do the actual talking, not just the words in their profiles... so speak up brave men out there - when someone extends the courteousy of contacting you, at least respond in kind and say, thanks but no thanks in a respectful manner...

open-minded does not mean open-relationship.

Geez, some people are slow.

Was this not another word brought to the forefront by the feminist movement. Are not all feminists open minded.

Hi OP,

I have it written on my profile that that's one of the qualities I am looking for in a person. To me, "open minded" means first of all, that you are not racist or homophobic, and that you accept people for who they are as individuals, and not as what they're supposed to be due to their gender, race, economic status...etc...etc...

An open minded person doesn't judge others on their lifestyle, regardless of how it doesn't mesh with theirs. You live and let live, while harming no one. You are not closed minded on sexual practices that others might find enjoyable, even if you don't enjoy them yourself. And I must repeat that you never harm no one, so of course that doesn't involve having sex with children or forcible sex with anyone at anytime....sheesh.....

Being open minded also means you've explored beyond what you've been taught in school or by your parents. You don't necessarily go with the flow, and you question the rules. You are not a sheep. You are a free thinker. You think for yourself, and not because someone told you what to think. You are not afraid to stand up for what you believe is right, even if you face being ridiculed for it. You are open to new ideas and concepts, and you love learning about the world around you. You VERY rarely claim to have exclusivity of the truth, unless it's to say that there is no such thing as one truth for all.

That's what being open minded means to me....that, and much, much more.....but to each their own :)

Take care...
Love and peace...

So, can we condense and say "open-minded" = PC ?

No, really, it's just a meaningless but good-sounding phrase because there aren't any who are looking for a close-minded person.

You're just fooling yourself if you really believe that. There are a lot of people out there looking for close minded people like themselves. People expect people to be of the same values and beliefs or they won't want to date them. They want a person that fears the same things as them, especially if they're considering children.

I agree with the "accept new ideas" definition. I think some people are reading too much into the phrase.

No, in fact it's quite the opposite, life_of_leisure. Being open minded has nothing to do with being politically correct. There are many times when being open minded will immediately classify you as a freak of nature, a reject, a loner, a dirty hippie, a slut,
an azz kisser.....oh god I could go on, I've been called every name in the book and then some.

When I stand up for the rights of people to live in a polygamous relationship if they wish to do so, or the rights of a homosexual couple to marry for example, do you honestly think that people like me and respect me for it??

When I fight for religious freedom for ALL, that also means having freedom FROM all religions for those who wish to be free from it also, and THAT is not a very popular view to hold, and it is certainly not PC.

Being open minded often means you must be willing to stand alone, away form the herd...and it can get lonely at times. Anyways, for me , it's the only way I know how to be....it's not even a choice I made or anything, it's the way I've always been, for whatever that's worth. But to each their own:)

Love and peace to all...


Cheers Scorpio !!

Actually, cheers to everyone!!!!

Absolutely NOT!!! From what I've seen, many of those who consider themselves PC are actually as intolerant as anybody else, if not more so. They're also hindered with a false sense of moral superiority and smugness.

"oldsoul"(in Msg 64) has the best definition of "open-minded" that I've seen so far.

I don't know why a man would want an open minded woman. I'm not sure it's safe to know everything that's going on in there. That might be opening up a can of worms.

Exactly! Same thing here in the south-eastern Michigan area. I had to come on here to hear a different connotation.

Of course, many around here relate nearly everything to sex.
