Posted: 6/24/2008 3:25:34 PM | Many of the women on here have "Christian-Other" on their profiles (Like four out of five)
I have heard someone once say that they were catholic but non practicing and that was what it referred to.
(this one I really don't understand how or what that has to do with anything with them today)
I also understand that in some countries religion equates to politics...I live in America where the two are no where near related...
If someone was agnostic or aetheist...I can understand how that would be a real turn off...or if someone was Christian and the woman was muslim..hey...that makes perfect sense to me. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 3:37:05 PM | I wouldn't find them unattractive, unless they one of those zealots that force feed their beliefs upon you. I just wouldn't find much in common with them as I'm not very religious myself.  | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 4:24:37 PM | If your religion is important to you and a large part of your life...PLEASE make sure to be up front about it. I personally do not want to date someone who is extremely religious because I am not. And I've found that those who regularly attend services and are active members in their church are going to want me to be as well, and that is not going to happen.
I turned a guy away today because one of the first things in his profile was that he wanted to meet a Christian girl. Right away I knew he would not like me. It was better to know that up front than try and get involved in any way and have it be an issue later on. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 5:30:01 PM | Welllll...I find it highly unlikely that a very religious man and I would get along. Inevitably comes the speech about how I'm going to burn in hell and that would hurt his feelings while he's in heaven.
Plus, I don't want to deal with religion in the bedroom. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 8:06:32 PM | | The fanatics of any sort are unattractive. Be it religion, politics, social status, etc. If one cannot tolerate another's point of view, respect an opposing point of view, and have a philosophy of "live and let live", then its unattractive in my boat. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 9:49:02 PM | | It would be a problem for me because I'm pretty much agnostic so it would be problamatic for me. Kind of like dating a Republican. Those aren't the type of sparks I'm looking for thanks. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 9:57:46 PM | | I'm sure very religious guys are attractive to very religious girls. For the rest of us though, everything in moderation. Too much religion has only served to start wars. | |

How is that remotely even possible?
This thread doesn’t make sense.
Next we'll be asking "Do you find Aliens hot?".
LOL... Some of the stuff in these forums sure cracks me up
Twenty-three people before you managed to work their neurons together to understand the OP. Maybe it's you that doesn't get it. | |

Interesting. This is the first time that I've ever heard of an agnostic saying that dating a committed Christian would be problematic. In fact, I looked up the word agnostic to remind myself of the definition:
*************************
Main Entry: ag·nos·tic
Pronunciation: \ag-ˈnäs-tik, əg-\
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek agnōstos unknown, unknowable, from a- + gnōstos known, from gignōskein to know — more at know

1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
2: a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something

Are you sure that you're not atheist? | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 4:40:22 AM | Well I wouldn't date a overly religious girl. I don't go to church because its hard to find one that most of the people don't (including the "leader" depending on what "type" of religion) "hide behind the cloth." Also I currently don't go to church so I don't want someone "ragging" me for not going or even if I went about not going to "their" church and how its so much better yada, yada, yada.
But why don't you try to find someone at "your" church. Talk about an "old school" way of finding someone that's what many of our grand parents and before them did to "court" lol. Also I'd give the school another shot. One, two even a hundred women are the "rebellious" type still don't mean they are all that way. Also like others said your only 20 dude give it time.
Best of luck to everyone  | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 5:00:48 AM | To me? Yes.
I don't want the "you are going to burn in hell" speech every six seconds, and like someone else said, I don't want religion brought into the bedroom. A religious man and I likely wouldn't get along as anything other than casual pals because I have a hard time with the fact that they are good and moral because their ancient text of choice tells them to and not simply because it's the right thing to do. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 5:36:36 AM | OPie... anytime your views are non-mainstream you will have a harder time finding a mate. That's just reality of life. Don't change your profile if it reflects who you are. Don't compromise your principles/beliefs because it will come back and bite you in the rear.
Yes, it will take you longer. BUT when you do, you'll be a good fit w/the gal. And you won't have wasted your time on others.
I have a good friend (too old for you) who is a very "committed Christian" and she will only date someone who "puts Jesus first" like she does. Do tons of POFers message her? Nope. She is active on bigchurch.com (have you tried that?) and knows that will be a better bet. However, she is moving in 2009 and hopes that when she moves and finds a new church she will meet some singles there that are "like minded".
I also have a male POF friend who is Baptist and works for a Baptist organization. He's an awesome guy. He also has trouble dating, for exactly the same reason you do. He's "religious" but it isn't the only facet of him...and too religious girls find him too liberal. But you know, when he finds the right girl, I know the wait will have been worth it.
Be patient, be yourself. And I agree, look for girls at church... and make sure the women your mom's age know you are single and looking - they very well might have a friend who has a daughter your age who doesn't go to the same church. Women LOVE to matchmake!

Posted: 6/25/2008 7:33:09 AM | Hi Jacobus101
Nice to meet a fellow catholic. Have you honestly tried getting involved in the church activities/functions? Your best bet is meet like-minded Catholic people for potential friendships/relationships. Knights of Columbus is a good organization too – its like the equivalent to CWL (Catholic Women’s League). There is an organization that I joined myself called SFC (Singles for Christ) under the ministry for Couples for Christ. There are tons of single Filipino ladies that I know would love to meet a guy like you. LOL. Seriously, stop looking so hard. The more you look, the more you become despondent and frustrated with yourself. Make friends with people and don’t sweat so much. You’re likely to meet her when you don’t look too hard.

Good luck. Try getting involved where you like to do. Volunteer work, take up a new hobby, sports/recreational activities, church, professional associations/designations like Rotary Club, school,

No, I don’t find religious unattractive. Personally, it would be my choice to find someone who is a catholic guy – those are hard to find. It’s easier to relate to them actually. If not, then I am OK to date with guy who has a belief in God or has a spiritual value. I wouldn't push them to convert them to become catholic. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:37:25 AM | | 85 for fighting, no, I'm not an atheist. I tend to believe in the existance of a higher power in general although there are no garuntees. What I don't believe in is the dogma sorrounding organized religion. So, agnostic is right. My experience with highly religious people is that they feel it is their duty to convince their loved ones to believe in order to save them. That would be annoying for any type of relationship in my opinion. That's why I feel it would be problomatic for me. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 10:08:05 AM | I have no use for the overly religious that just screams "pharasee' to me.
I prefer to think of myself as a follower of Christ. I would be thrilled to find someone who is a fully devoted follower of Christ. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 12:08:04 PM | I wouldn't say they are unattractive, I've seen some pretty hot ones. But, I am learly of them for sure.
Reason being, I don't read my bible every day, I don't go to chruch, I don't take communion, I don't even go to chruch on easter (can you belive it??) . But more importantly then that, I LOVE sex (even before marriage) , I like to have a drink every once in a while, I like wearing sexy clothes sometimes, I like things that most chruch goers usually don't like.
So, in your terms, I guess I can say that religious guys are unattractive (but my first love was and is ExTREMELY religious..lol...and I still like him ) | |
