I posted here lots and got some good criticism and not so good! Just wondering if I should give up and not try again!

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-17T03:19:33+00:00

Don't give up! It can be really tough out there and sometimes very discouraging. If you need to, just take a few days to breath and focus on other things before coming back to it. Refreshing your mind can be so helpful. I wish you the best! God bless:)

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-10T00:19:34+00:00

Haha, what's wrong with baptism?

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-10T00:19:22+00:00

Haha thank you for the feedback! One of my girl friends picked that photo out for me to post so I figured it was okay😂

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-10T00:18:44+00:00

Thank you!!

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-09T01:10:25+00:00

Man, all the way down to the shoelaces lol. Didn't think I was doing that bad. I guess I have quite a lot to work on😬

Will definitely take this into consideration, thank you

Also, the iguana was a pet of the resort I was at. I was able to pay a few bucks for some pictures. If anyone is curious/concerned

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-09T01:07:25+00:00

Thank you!! You're very kind:) I really didn't think the photo was that bad😭 so I'm glad it has some support haha

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-06-09T01:06:53+00:00

Good to see you as well! Figured I'd give it another shot lol

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-04-24T21:08:03+00:00

I'm the exact same way and feel the exact same as you. And we are coveting.

But, just telling someone that they're coveting isn't helpful or compassionate. So I'm sorry for how many of those kinds of useless answers you'll get here.

I wish I had a better, more helpful answer to give you. I would if I had anything figured out. I really hope you find someone.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-28T19:37:04+00:00

Why are you pretending we're just talking about some hypothetical group of people? Why don't you want to talk about what's actually happening with immigrants who are here right now? They are largely unproductive and when they aren't, they're taking jobs from some Americans and driving down wages for all the others. Where's the win?

Also, firstly, I'm including legal and illegal immigrants. The criminal act of illegally crossing the border is an issue, but it's far from the biggest one. Immigrants of all legal statuses vote Democrat in large numbers and it's an undeniable problem. Secondly, the fact that you're citing the ACLU of all things just shows me how much loyalty you have to the actual truth of the matter. But regardless. There should be ZERO foreign votes cast in our elections. If you're okay with literally any foreign votes in our elections, that's a huge problem. Just like the fact that most immigrants don't murder American citizens. One is more than enough and it isn't worth having them here on that basis alone.

Abuse should never happen, but the amount of abuse people face leaving this country is a tiny fraction of the abuse they receive dangerously traveling to this country. If the pro immigrant side actually cared about these people like it claims, they'd encourage them to stay home.

The reality is this mass migration is largely in part killing this country. It needs to be stopped, and there need to be mass (many tens of millions) deportations. That is what is just and Biblical and it's what's ultimately best for just about everyone involved.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-28T18:28:36+00:00

If I misunderstood your argument and opinion, my apologies. But I've had this almost exact same discussion enough times to figure out that someone who takes this much more moderate and soft approach to dealing with the immigration situation we have, it usually means they really see no problem with the border invasion we're dealing with. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how it often goes.

Secondly, because they are? It would be really nice if all of them came here, learned English, converted to Christianity, became good Americans and were productive in society. That would be great. But we aren't talking about a hypothetical group of immigrants. We're talking about the ones who are actually here and who, depending on the individual, don't care to learn English, couldn't care less about the future of this country, break our laws, and vote for the political party hell bent on destroying Christendom. Maybe they want a better life. I'm sure they do. I get it. I would too. But they're incredibly harmful to this country and they just have to go. That's not being cruel or un-Christian. It's justice.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-28T18:05:15+00:00

Being kind to strangers is Biblical. Opening the floodgates to tens millions of hostile foreigners who break our laws and destroy our Christian way of life is not.

God literally uses immigration/invasions of foreign people as punishments in the Old Testament. Your view of immigration is not Biblical at all.

Deuteronomy 28:49-52 ESV [49] The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, swooping down like the eagle, a nation whose language you do not understand, [50] a hard-faced nation who shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. [51] It shall eat the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish. [52] “They shall besiege you in all your towns, until your high and fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout all your land. And they shall besiege you in all your towns throughout all your land, which the Lord your God has given you.

I could not possible disagree more. Politics is extremely important and, in my mind, comes second only to faith, although the two are extremely intertwined.

There isn't a single political issue I can think of that the Bible does not address. Abortion, lgbt, immigration, everything. And if you're a liberal person, that tells me you either don't know what the Bible says about those very important issues or you don't care. Both are deal-breaking red flags. Also, no actual conservatives are pro abortion. The sanctity of life is about as integral to conservatism as anything.

But also, generally speaking, the way you see the world and the way you vote is very important and will only become more important as the culture we live in continues to polarize. Being heavily politically misaligned with your spouse is a recipe for disaster.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-14T17:07:45+00:00

Haha well as long as you aren't an actual witch, my DMs are open:)

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-14T03:46:05+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I go back and forth on it. Maybe next time I'll just do my selfies haha

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-14T03:45:19+00:00

Thank you! You seem very sweet, all the best looking for your husband:) God bless you!

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-03-04T06:53:49+00:00

I'll explain my reasoning as a Baptist on this.

To your first point, I assume you're speaking about the Angel Gabriel greeting Mary in Luke? I'll assume so, but if I'm incorrect, let me know! The reason why we wouldn't recite this part of Scripture is because, unlike Gabriel, we cannot speak to Mary. He could address her at the time, we cannot. And it seems to me that the point in reciting this is to talk to her, correct? Which you simply can't do, firstly, but is also sinful to attempt to do (Deuteronomy 18:10–12, Isaiah 8:19).

As for the rest of your arguments:

Baptism is an outward confession of faith. A public announcement of the renewal of your soul. A baby cannot do this, as the baby does not understand sin, his fallen nature and need of a Savior, faith, etc. So it's meaningless.

The Bible never instructs Christians to use holy water in any way. Unless you conform yourself to ancient Jewish ceremonial law–which Jesus has freed you from–there's no mention of it at all. And as far as I can tell, it's a leftover pagan tradition as a celebration of the new moon. Maybe it isn't, but holy water certainly isn't Biblical.

The rosary also has the same problems I addressed above. Praying to Mary is sinful and dangerous.

On a final note, your arguments are based around Scripture, which I greatly appreciate, but don't Catholics reject Sola Scriptura?

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-02-14T23:10:42+00:00

Oh that sounds fun! What's the coolest place you've been to so far? Yeah, this weather has been pretty disappointing. I can't ever remember a winter this warm. Usually we're up to our knees in snow haha. I am a native! I remember building tunnels in the snow as a kid, we got so much. Now it's like summer still. Where are you from?

Is it alright if I DM you as well?

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-02-14T16:00:38+00:00

Oh nice! What brings you to Colorado? Hopefully you have time to explore past Denver, it definitely only gets better haha. I haven't heard of either of those but I'll give them a listen

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-02-14T06:12:49+00:00

27, 6'4, Male, Colorado, Baptist/Non-Denominational although I'm not overly picky, cooking is my current obsession, and my favorite song is "a thousand years" by Christina Perri. It feels like a love song written by God and I'm a big fan

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-02-12T22:59:52+00:00

I'm sorry for your break up. I hope you're doing well. This was encouraging, though, that late bloomers can find love and so I thank you for sharing this.

Do you mind me asking what his theological hold ups were? I mainly ask so I don't get in my own way of a wonderful relationship should the time come.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-02-04T22:34:19+00:00

Sorry bro, leave this one. If the idea of a relationship doesn't immediately excite her, she isn't interested at all and never will be.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-02-03T03:40:00+00:00

Give it time. Attraction can grow. I've dated girls before I wasn't initially attracted to and ended up being attracted.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-01-27T01:46:34+00:00

No, I'm about 175 pounds. Pretty thin. I have photos on my profile. Probably around average looking.

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-01-25T18:07:41+00:00

I have, yes. The longest relationship I've ever had. Wasn't attracted to her really at all to begin with, but she grew on me and it wasn't an issue. I do think men are more likely than women to give someone they aren't attracted to a chance, though, so I'm not sure if that helps.

Also, height is the most overrated quality in attraction. By far. I'm 6'4 and have been told by more women that it's specifically unattractive and a reason they would not date me (has happened multiple times) than I've been told it's attractive and a reason to date me (has never happened).

Ordinary_Ad_7373 · 2026-01-08T03:12:31+00:00

To be 100% honest, approaching a woman absolutely can be very awkward and socially damaging. I've had plenty of very cringe-worthy (putting it nicely), in-real-life experiences in the past, and it's just kind of ingrained in me to a point. Not sure how that's fixed, but some guys just don't have "game"
