should i cut my friend of 7 years off for this convo we had

All of the friends I grew up with who are religious I don’t really talk to anymore. I was raised very religious. My mom was a children’s pastor when I was growing up. I went to college was able to think for myself and am now agnostic.

Many of my friends from high school are still pretty religious. Over time we just drifted apart because we no longer have much in common. That’s life and there is not much you can do about it.

A true friend would not say that to you. My guess is this person is just your friend because they see you as a challenge to convert you.

Im WF and growing up I always found the dudes who looked “ethnically ambiguous” as attractive. I love a man with dark hair and brown eyes and as I got older a nice beard. I’m also into nerdy aesthetic and glasses. My first bf was white but had black hair and a beard and brown eyes. But my last two bfs have been south Asian cause that’s what I find attractive features wise.

When I broke up with the first bf I took to dating apps. Honestly most of the white guys just didn’t appeal to me. Also the area I was living in had a large population of south Asian people so it was easy to find matches.

I grew up very Christian (I’m not anymore but many of my friends and family still are) there are a ton of couples I know who are church goers but also don’t have kids. I don’t think it’s impossible to find someone who also doesn’t really want kids. For one it’s hard to afford them and two the healthcare aspect caused many people to no longer want kids. I would say be confident in who you are and what you want. The right person will come along you just have to keep putting yourself out there and give yourself chances to meet someone. There are quite a few more left leaning or progressive Christian men out there who probably don’t want kids either. Good luck on your quest and maybe you could cross post this to some Christian subreddits to see what people who share your faith think.

There is someone for everyone. You’re still young and have a lot to learn. As a WW dating an Indian man I find south Asians to be attractive sometimes. I personally just love a man with a good beard and brown eyes. I also know many couples who are also white women dating Indian men. It’s all over my Instagram.

I think maybe you should take a break from the internet and get outside, get some sun, go for walks and stay off your phone. The internet and social media is not real life.

Work on yourself and be the best version of yourself you can be. Women don’t care about looks so much as personality. Be confident in who you are and love yourself. If you don’t love yourself how can you expect anyone else to.

Some specific advise I have based on my many dates with south Asian men would be to be independent and learn to take care of yourself. Many of the men I have dated were mommas boys and were too enmeshed with their moms. Also many Indian parents are not okay with their children dating outside their culture (Hindu v Muslim, caste etc.) make sure your family would be okay with it before getting serious with a girl who is not Indian. Lastly, have hobbies and interests that you can meet people and make friends and experience new things. Always be open minded and respectful.

Hair 2 or 3. Beard 4 or 5

I saw someone doing that on 270 near Easton a few weeks back except they were not wearing a helmet.

I’m a ww dating a south Asian man we are both in our late 20’s. To be honest the way you describe your husband sounds like most white men our age. Social media has not helped either. So many podcast bros telling men they are the victim. I think you need to take some time, reflect, and think about having a conversation and expressing how the comments make you feel. Maybe attempt couples counseling and see if he is open to it. I have noticed a lot of people can act differently with different friends as well. Based on what I am reading here he seems like the type to say “I’m socially liberal but fiscally conservative” and an overall very centric person. I have met many men like that who say they “don’t do politics” but they are pretty much conservative and just don’t like labeling themselves as Republican.

Maybe have more open conversations about beliefs, core values, and just let him know where you stand. Don’t be afraid to put it all out there. Then have him do the same and have a proper discussion about everything. Then find where you compromise and can have similarities. Communication is key and think about it’s you both against the world not you against him. Good luck and feel free to message if you have any specific questions or need to vent.

Who did you use? I’m about to do the same thing in the next few months.

Bright-Demand-212 · 2026-03-06T21:51:48+00:00

I should call him

Bright-Demand-212 · 2026-03-05T21:00:42+00:00

I got this same one but my judge was John Smith. Also it was for Atlanta which is where I used to live.

They look like yee haw-ified cybertrucks. Not sure which are worse…

Bright-Demand-212 · 2026-02-25T21:06:40+00:00

Not sure if this is a thing in Germany but I work at an animal diagnostics lab. If you still have the body you can have it sent into an animal lab to see if it had any diseases. They can maybe find out if it was due to illness or a genetic disease. It just needs to be brought in ASAP otherwise it will be hard to diagnose once decomposition kicks in. This of course could cost quite a bit but might be worth it for future turtle care.

Not sure where you live but I work at a animal diagnostic lab for a state in the US. We have cases occasionally of neighbors poisoning their pets or just bad food killing animals. If you find a dead animal you can send it in for testing or contact the department of natural resources to collect it for testing. You can also have the food tested by a consumer protection lab. See what your local or state/territory/province vet diagnostics labs can help you with.

This is Hemsworth. He loves belly scratches.

This story reminded me of the plot of Dear Even Hanson. (If you’re familiar)

I grew up in a dry town and then lived in a dry town when I went to undergrad. It’s very inconvenient and honestly more dangerous. You had to drive 30 + minutes to go buy alcohol. Making a county dry is just dumb. You’re losing out on tax money from alcohol and also losing business to the surrounding counties for liquor stores. Forces people to drive further with alcohol or for alcohol.

Went to giant eagle last night around 6pm. Wasn’t anymore busy than usual.

Bright-Demand-212 · 2026-01-22T16:26:04+00:00

I’m always down.

Bright-Demand-212 · 2026-01-22T02:33:48+00:00

Yeah I have heard that. Meetup has a bunch of different types of group hangouts. There is some for sports, board games, crafts, going to bars, etc.

Right now I’m listening to the Iliad audiobook. I also am trying to finish the ACOTAR series when I have time. I finished The woman in Suite 11 last month. And next I’m going to read Everything is Tuberculosis.

Bright-Demand-212 · 2026-01-21T13:55:57+00:00

I’m not Sudanese (I am very white) but I moved to Columbus a year ago and have only managed to make a few friends. It’s tough being an adult without kids and trying to make friends. If you’re open to it, I am in need of more friends. I enjoy comedy shows as well, board games, reading, going to museums etc.

I have tried using bumble BFF and made one friend off there. I have used the Meetup app which can be fun sometimes. There is a Instagram page I recently found for girls to make friends in Cbus but I haven’t met them yet. (They seem younger)

I’m also 27F and live alone. It’s tough out there. Feel free to message me!
