so, as I don't "Love God" would I be discounted right away? I'm very curious.
I don't want to get into a faith based arguement. We all have our preferences when dating. My bets friend is muslim. His wife is catholic. They class alot over faith. So if I date someone seriosuly I would want us to both have the same core beliefs. Now would I causually date a non christian? Maybe. If I liked her personality and she loved kids, yes. Would i marry a non christian? No. Thats just my preference.0 -
Great thread...sorry I missed it last night so I'm jumping on the bandwagon a little late...

8. Must be independent & financially responsible

well I totally failed your list Ed. I think I passed 2 of the 10. The worse one, the one I could never live with is #7. Hate hate hate the robots from the evil empire.
I can't help it that the Yankees OWN the twins! hehehe
At least we get owned by someone like the Yankees while you guys have a tough time beating the Angels and the Royals.
27 world titles baby. Thats all i got to say!0 -

Interesting, I suppose it's the same, I wouldn't seriously date a Christian, or casually for that matter. Preference.0 -
My top ten requirements would be:
1. won’t push his religion on me
2. is self-confident,
3. has a career
4. can take my good-humoured teasing,
5. does not need me to be his taxi driver, personal chef, maid or mother,
6. is supportive,
7. kind,
8. loves animals,
9. travels well,
10. can fight without name-calling.
It's ok in my mind if a potential BF would not want to date me because I do not believe in a creator-god, simply because if he is that dedicated to his religion, then we probably aren't on the same wavelength anyway.
If his religion is a big part of his life, then most likely I wouldn't want to date him anyway.0 -

Understandable. I have to say, I am a Buddhist and my ex-husband is Muslim. Our different religions were not an issue for us-- although he took his religion pretty lightly. Actually if he had been a more devout Muslim, we might have worked out. That being said, having had the experience of dating someone whose background is outside the scope of my understanding, I would not do it again.0 -

Lol my list came about because of something that happened the other day/ A woman (knowing I have kdis) asked me out. And then went on to tell me she doesn't like kids that much. Lol, made no sense. Btw, my list is just a guideline.0 -
Just a note because I see a lot of questions/comments about the religious dating non-religious and I just wanted to say that from a Christian perspective, because of our beliefs, the Bible actually tells us that we shouldn't marry non-Christians. Aside from it causing a lot of chaos within the marriage, Christians are supposed to marry other Christians to make them stronger Christians and to support their beliefs. I have a friend who is an atheist and she married a Christian and they were divorced 3 months later and anytime anyone asks her about it, that is her answer as to why it didn't work "religion".
I pray every day, go to church every sunday, teach sunday school and am involved in the women's ministry. I not only want to find someone who will support me with that but that will be there with me so we can grow together.
I don't want you to think I'm close minded, because I'm not. I have friends who are Budhist, Catholics, Atheists and Mormon, I just wouldn't date them.
And again... just my perspective.

I can totally understand that.0 -
8. be able to make decisions.. I am a Libra so I am passive enough for both of us :laugh:
10. Must trust me to make my own decisions, and not try to tell me what I can and can't do.
Even you women's lists of what you want are confusing. :huh: :laugh:
:laugh: :laugh: Shall I explain??
8 = Be willing to make choices on places to go, things to do etc, and
10 = for example don't try to tell me I can't have coffee or a glass of wine... (believe it or not my ex didn't like me to make and have coffee ever... very frustrating)0 -

UGH.. you're not the only one. My ex was always bugging me to give up coffee, he thought it was a bad addiction. LOL, honestly now if I meet a guy who doesn't drink coffee I'm instantly suspicious of him!0 -
Mine didn't like the smell... :noway:8. be able to make decisions.. I am a Libra so I am passive enough for both of us :laugh:

How odd? But if he didn't like the smell why didn't he just go to the other room? I didn't like that my ex smoked. But I respected that ti was her choice and I would tolerated it without brow beating her about it. A relationship is about give and take.0 -

See its all good. We are all different and that makes us all beautiful.
LOL! I was having a bad day and cruising for a fight, I understand why people would choose to only date within their religion, but was being flippant. Your last comment completely pacified me. Good luck finding your ideal woman :-)0 -

I'm sure it can be resurrected... lol!0 -
Ok, the kids are asleep, the house is clean and I am bored. So I thought I would make a thread for us singles (especialy us single parents). Lol is my list crazy? This is what i am looking for in a woman. What does everyone elses list look like?
1. Must love God.
2. Must love kids.
3. Must be kind, funny and faithful.
4. Must like country music or at least tolerate it.
5. Your perfect evening should be spending time playing with the kids (I have 2) and then cuddle time when they go to bed.
6. You shouldn't cheat at candyland.
7. You should not hate the Yankees. Loving the Yankees is preferable.
8. If you should choose to cheat at candyland be willing to accept that you will be tackled and tickled by the kids.
9. Must be willing to catch a waffle if i through it at you. Or in other words you must be ready for anything.
10. Must absolutely adore and love kids.
There is my silly little list. :flowerforyou:
Love,
Ed
I like the idea of your list - being Australian I have no idea what 6 & 7 mean LOL...and country music is scary
Jen0 -
1. Must be agnostic or an atheist (but not the obnoxious sort of atheist who's just the opposite side of the coin from being obnoxiously religious).
2. Politically, must be leftist/progressive, particularly concerning social issues such as equal marriage rights (though that's pretty much a given in a same sex relationship), reproductive rights, feminisim, anti-racism/classism, social justice, etc.
3. Has to love animals, particularly cats, given my hoard of them. :laugh:
4. This is shallow, but has to be femme - nothing against women who aren't, I'm just not attracted to women who aren't feminine.
5. Needs to love city life and plan to stay in Toronto permanently.
6. Has to have a university degree, or be working on one.
7. Should have a sense of humour similar to mine (i.e. dry, sarcastic, kind of cynical and dark).
8. Must be intelligent in a particular way (as in, reads real literature as opposed to crap like Twilight and is well read, is knowledgable in a certain area/areas of interest and in general, has an extensive vocabulary and is well-spoken, types using proper grammar, spelling, capitalisation and punctuation aside from occasional typos or minor grammatical mistakes, can carry on an engaging conversation about politics, world issues, social matters, etc., genuinely loves learning new things, etc.
9. Is fun. Spontaneously taking a vacation, staying up all night talking just because, being comfortable with nerdy activities, that kind of thing.
10. Must be cool with waiting until our late thirties to mid-forties to have a kid, and okay with having just one. -- Juliet
ETA: I didn't include things like not cheating, honesty, treating me with respect, etc. because those go without saying for me.0 -
Bump! I want to see more peoples' lists, we only have 5 or 6 of them in here! -- Juliet 0
