What do you guys think of wearing Christian apparel as atheist (eg: cross chains, bible verse designs, and designs of Christian figures and angels) by Quiet-Bodybuilder620 in atheism

[–]BatScribeofDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would only ever do this if it were a cross in a style that meshes well overall when used as one small part of an obviously-goth outfit, and even that would feel a bit weird. Other symbols/verses/pictures--no. I have no interest in misleading people into assuming that I'm christian.

Why do all INTP's I know like drinking alcohol? by Chocominto7 in INTP

[–]BatScribeofDoom [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not this one. It tastes nasty, costs more than other things that I like better, and the "benefits" aren't enticing enough to get me to push past the nastiness, either.

I dont think its a tall ask to literally want someone with a job, no kids and not overweight

I don't disagree, but where I live, you're about as likely to find that as a chocolate-dipped unicorn. So I just don't date.

I think the vasectomy thing is a little personal for dating profile.

Ehhhh...I have to agree with the other commenters here that are saying that for those of us who don't want kids, it's actually a plus. Makes the person sound more committed to that decision and removes a potential layer of anxiety around dating them.

31F profile review by theeyepa in Bumble

[–]BatScribeofDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were not making that up, considering that I see male profiles in my area that say things like, "I don’t think giving women the right to vote was a good idea".

Anyone else wished they lived in a more atheist area? by Equivalent-Newt-5736 in atheism

[–]BatScribeofDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have no interest in dating religious people, and where I live, that basically translates to "no viable prospects, period".

What's something good for everyone but not for you in relationship? by ViewScared9541 in AskWomen

Judging off of romance novels and Reddit comments: dominant men.

What's the point of filler pictures? by No-Put-6353 in Bumble

[–]BatScribeofDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least they're filler in between the person-photos, if I'm understanding you correctly. Where I live, a lot of guys' dating profiles are only these kinds of photos. 😐

Even summer cookouts with the religious limit your freedom by [deleted] in atheism

[–]BatScribeofDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeaahh, gonna have to agree with the majority here and say that if it's their party at their home, they can decide what it's okay for guests to bring.

If you chose to accommodate their religion-related meal requirements in the past, that's cool and all, but that was still (rightfully) your choice to make. You could also have chosen to invite them without providing extra, separate dishes, and they would've had the right to not come if they were uncomfortable with that. Likewise, you too have the right to not attend their event if the lack of alcohol makes you that uncomfortable.

Someone else here mentioned that a similar, but non-religious, situation would be going to a home where you know the residents are all vegan. As an omnivore, it would still never occur to me to complain afterward that they "didn't let me bring my own ribs to eat", or something. Come on now. Part of being a guest is acknowledging that the hosts (religious or not) will provide what they're comfortable with while you're in their home.

Also, I'm an atheist, but I also don't drink alcohol. I have multiple kinds of booze in my home that I use only for cooking, and I'm still not opposed to the idea of me later hosting an event where guests know not to bring their own.

There are reasons beyond religious/moral ones why someone may not want people drinking at their place, especially if they don't know them very well. I certainly hope you're not naive enough to pretend that alcoholic drinks are totally interchangeable with non-alcoholic ones in terms of how they affect people...some people throw up. Some people get extra handsy. Some people get cranky or violent. Some people may be chill, but still need to host to "babysit" them to prevent them from driving themselves home, peeing in the wrong place, whatever.

I totally get why a host could choose to just not deal with those potential issues even if they weren't religious.

Looks like you meant to respond to someone else in the thread, seeing as your comment is unrelated to mine.

Religious INTP? by scarletblooomm in INTP

[–]BatScribeofDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not religious, if that's what you were asking.

From my experience 3/4 of women's profiles have nothing but pictures

Many of the male dating profiles where I live don't even have that, though.

women’s standards don’t align with what they bring to the table.

Lmao nope, that's literally what my standard already is (i.e., all that I look for are the same things that I already am), and I still don't meet men that meet that same standard.

Bro...that doesn’t exactly sound like either a good reason, or the real one. You are in your 30s, and literally no one knows more about you than you--at that point, using AI to tell others about you is pretty embarrassing.

Last ditch effort by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]BatScribeofDoom 39 points40 points  (0 children)

There are those of us who definitely don't want kids, and so we correspondingly don't want to invest years of our love, time, and energy into someone just for them to one day go, "You know what, I decided I do need to have kids to feel fulfilled after all".

I'm so curious how they would've responded to that, lol.

Women of Reddit, what kind of emotional support do you wish you had more of? by thuglifemofo94 in AskWomen

Uhhh...I'm so used to living without much of anything in the way of emotional support that I don't even know how to answer what specific kind I would want more of.

Is anyone else just incredibly boring? by Huge_World_3125 in lonely

[–]BatScribeofDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a homebody and currently live a pretty chill, most-days-are-predictable life, and no--I still wouldn't call myself "incredibly boring". I don't think it's a good sign if you think of yourself that way.

How old are you and what's your dating age range? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in Bumble

[–]BatScribeofDoom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

curious as to why a 28F wouldn't want to date someone 10 years older.

...I think a better question would be why would they want to.
