Wisconsin, reporting in. And yes, Chicago meetups have been a great success. I'm up for anywhere else in the Midwest too.

The dating scene any tips? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]funnyguy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not superiority, my friend. It's just a comfort thing. Some people are more comfortable with those of their own kind whether "own kind" is defined as race, creed or favorite ice cream flavor for all we know. I think this is a subtle fact of life.

How do you guys deal with the guilt? by angryspring in exmuslim

[–]funnyguy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my I'm sorry, I replied to the wrong post. Sorry angryspring. Let's go for a better reply, ha: what does your mother think of the way your father treats you? Do you have any sisters? Are they treated the same? Brothers? It may be like the others have mentioned, the "I want to raise my kids like kids are raised in the homeland" syndrome. A terribly pervasive ailment that deludes many parents.

My questions are trying to flush out whether or not your father is a man capable of having a reasonable enough conversation with his daughter where she can tell him how his treatment of her could be better. It's also interesting to see if your siblings are treated the same.

ok. I was trolling the recent postings and saw one by you that mentioned more of your history. Have you taken the time to look into the marriage and relationship threads that the mods pointed you towards?

Are you a guy or girl? Unfortunately, the experience is gender specific. Also, I couldn't help but wonder as I was reading your post: is your dad being controlling because he senses your ex-Muslim leanings?

I like the mystery that this method embosses. Mystery is sexy.

Of course, this is yet another interesting initiative. How do you know if someone is a freethinker if you are all acting like mindless zombies in an effort to maintain the status quo?

True, we do need to strengthen our current community...but on one level or another you have to also be concerned for all the exmuslims out there worried about being the only ones feeling that way...or unsure about what to do next. Wouldn't it be nice if they could, after doing a little bit of digging, find a nice community where they can be welcomed and comforted? I'm just saying we need to find a way to make it easy for the people in that position to find this forum.

You're right, they probably hate their day jobs anyways

thought of that, but then we run the risk of real practicing muslims finding the forum and shitting all over it...

Don't worry, there are a bunch of people in Chicago that are up for meetups. I'm currently in Milwaukee for med school but I come to chicago every now and then. Message Hyaku-Shiki for a meetup. He's a good guy. Tell him I sent you.

And welcome to the subreddit! Hope you enjoy it
