As a Christian male, I find this post sexist, offensive, and exclusionary.0

christian female right here0

You are free to associate with anyone you choose for any reasons but the typical conversation on this site is"Wow, I lost 2 pounds doing Zumba". As a practicing Catholic, I don't really see how religion enters into this.0

I agree. I am an atheist - wonder how a post asking ONLY atheists to add me would go over? Being so exclusionary and closed minded is one of the main reasons I am atheist!0 -
I have no idea what you mean by "Chirstian lens", but yes, I did read her profile and didn't see any comments about men in general. Just her thoughts on male stalkers. It is not talk or perfection that makes one a Christian, it is belief. And with that belief should come a desire to live as Christ instructed. It's easy to say you are a Christian. But Christian humans are just as fallible as any other humans. Striving to do right doesn't magically make one perfect.
Thanks for the lesson in Christianity.0 -
"You are the light of the world." - Matthew 5:14
You can't be the light of the world only accepting other Christians as your friends. You must be accepting of non-believers as well. I am extremely grateful that Jesus did not have this attitude towards others, if He did, you and me would not be able to be Christians.0 -
All christian females add me too that would be wonderful I am 33 let's motivate each other and give all glory to God0

I am a Christian but well over 30 (as are both my daughters). But honestly we are probably not on the same page for more reasons than age, as my Christian values are a little more old fashioned I think. I would never post the underwear pic, for example.
Pretty sure that's not her. You both might get along, though, because you both seem a bit judgy.
Aaaaaaand this is why I don't affiliate with the "Christian" church anymore.

Faith really doesn't come into weight loss, diet or fitness. Neither does your sex.0 -

The best part is.... you dont have to be a Christian, in order to practice/believe this. People say they want discrimination to end, but keep labeling others and segregating themselves into little groups and cliques.0 -
There are a couple of Christian groups on here that you may find helpful.
Just throwing this out there: There are plenty of Christian creepy guys, too. Creeps aren't just limited to the non-Christian category.
i love you so much i cant stand it sometimes.0 -
I'm a Christian Female! :-) I am 30! Feel free to add me! :-)0

Eh, my faith has played a major role in my weight loss and fitness, so that's definitely subjective to the individual. However, I agree this is not the best way to get friend requests.0 -
While I appreciate and support your privilege to have friends of whatever socioereligious group you choose, I take offense to your idea that all men here would want to flirt with you.
"I am making my friends an all female zone. the reason for this is because I am a single mom who is focusing on losing weight and I didn't come here to date or get hit on. this is not a dating site. I do not accept male frend requests!!"
Imagine if someone here proclaimed that they would flatly refuse all female requests because women are just gold digging sluts. I can't imagine it would sit well with the community. Nor should it. However, misandry is just as bad as misogyny; there no place for either one in a modern and mature society.
While I wish you all the best in your weight loss and healthy lifestyle goals, please keep your sexist comments to yourself.0 -

I'm pretty sure wanting like-minded workout pals isn't what was being discussed in that verse.0 -

I have to agree, as a married man to a beautiful and loving wife, the last thing I would want to do is flirt with you. I have plenty of female friends on here, and I don't flirt with any of them.0 -
Christian female but in my middle 30s!0

If you don't mind me asking and feel free to not answer but I would be interested to know how?
I can honestly say my atheism has not once played a role in my diet or fitness.0 -

If this was said in reverse about women people all over the boards would be going nuts about it.0 -

Sure, I definitely don't mind answering. As a pastor, I have felt that my weight and my eating habits were effecting my witness as a pastor and as a Christian. My finances, my family, and all other areas of my life were straight, but I was literally killing myself with food. The Bible calls our bodies the temple of the Holy Spirit, and I was destroying my temple. Therefore, I knew I needed to make a change. If I want to be the best witness that I can be, that also includes being healthy.0 -
Ditto - I'm out of your age range but Christian. Feel free to friend me!0

That was Josh's quote, but I feel the same way, so I'll reply as well. My faith defines who I am and everything I do. Weight loss is a struggle for me, so as with all struggles I have in life, I pray about it.0
