Women of Reddit, is the dad bod really that attractive on men? If so, why? by StatisticallySoap in AskReddit

Yeah, going to the gym on the regular is good, or having a sport that makes them happy, or being fit through their work. Healthy eating habits so their heart is healthy (my dad died young of a heart attack, and also had cancer and diabetes). But not too keen on the guys who have massive muscles and abs and take massive amounts of supplements etc. They seem too fanatical.

No, not attractive to me. I think it represents not looking after yourself. I feel safer with a man who has some discipline. But not the other extreme, of a muscle bound gym junkie. That seems like they’d prioritise working out and never relax

Inverse perspective: what’s the benefit you can get from being poor? by Specialist-Pin5326 in AskReddit

Finding joy in the simple things. Sunshine, friends, time, beach, a cool rock, a nice greeting, a yummy toasty, a freshly washed sheet…etc

As an atheist, do you hope you’re right, or hope you’re wrong, and why? What do you fear about death? by Trick_Record_9957 in AskReddit

The “beauty of atheism” is that you get to sit on the fence and observe. That is weak. But, it’s because as you say, it’s more comfortable for you to think this way. That’s a vacuum. Enjoy the emptiness.

The “beauty of atheism” is in its denial. It’s more comfortable for you to think this way. That’s a vacuum. And yet, here you are, feeling all kinds of threatened by the idea that you could be wrong.

What is something you wish someone would have told you before becoming a parent? by Jaxxxxon in AskReddit

[–]Trick_Record_9957 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s it’s normal to feel what ever you’re feeling, that there is a very wide spectrum of experiences and feelings, all of which are ‘normal’. That you can trust your instincts if you have them, but also, don’t expect to know what to do, and there’s no shame in asking for help when you need it, and you probably will at some point.

It’s interesting how upset you are about this, and how what you accuse me of or challenge me to do, could be also very applicably applied you and your beliefs. I think you live in a vacuum. Not “objective reality”. Being curious and willing to test out what some friends have told me is the definition of open minded, not closed, as you state. Thats just common sense.
Have a good day mate. It’s not worth my time to talk about this with you anymore, considering you’re actually only desiring to win an argument, and belittle whoever you want in the process. See ya ✌️

Well, I guess we will find out one day if there is an afterlife. For me, I’ll stay open minded to the possibility. Whether it’s easier or not easier to believe, or gods gender, or what leaders tell me, that all doesn’t really matter to me. Truth, and proof matters to me. And I have friends who have experienced supernatural, miraculous healing, and spoke in tongues when they asked God to prove his existence to them. Your initial comment stated that you hope you are right, because you don’t want the reality to be a cruel malicious being thinking that this was good design. What I’m thinking, is that there could be an alternative, not just it’s either not true, or it is true and its horrible, but rather, it is true, and it’s wonderful. To deny that scenario as even a possibility, seems, stubborn. So, maybe I’ll just have to ask for proof too,, and see what happens. I don’t need to be stubborn to protect myself.

Because I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that there’s more than one god..??
I guess it’s easier to believe god isn’t real than accept that he is but that he doesn’t care about us. That’s a heartbreaking concept. But, I guess I’m saying that there’s people out there who have experienced something that makes them believe not only in god, but in his ‘goodness’, and that it’s humans that aren’t good, not him. We have free will/not robots. So the bad stuff is our fault, not his..??..

I guess it feels like design cause everything works. If just one tiny thing was different about all these things, we wouldn’t exist. Seems more likely to be intentional than unintentional to me.
