The important thing, to me, is that I'm not a hypocrite. I don't judge others.
You never know. Her husband could be an absolutely horrible human being that she can't leave for the children or whatever. I try not to judge situations without knowing the people involved.There's sinning, and then there's being married with 4 kids and carrying on with an affair for months, lol. That's not Christian-like, whatever way you spin it.
By many accounts Hitler was raised Catholic but denounced Christianity in his adult life, so that is probably irrelevant.
Seemed pretty clear he was talking about the way she presented herself publically, so it's probably an accurate label. Tells us nothing about her heart or her personal relationship with God.
Interesting. I don't know that I've ever seen that line of thought before. I just don't think it's a start and stop kind of thing.
no one likes to advertise things they are ashamed of, particularly to those who know we know better...confession is a difficult undertaking
Certainly. I was just saying that while I would hope that her friends would have told her she was wrong etc, I doubt they got the opportunity.
I agree that the intent and the implication was ****, I guess I'm of the idea that your very religious if you say you are, and as an outsider I'm not one to say otherwise.
I mean I'm sure she knows that it's wrong. It's not like people who cheat don't have a full understanding of what they are doing, and most people I've talked to (myself included back in the day) were very conflicted about the whole thing. Just having a friend say - what you are doing is wrong isn't particularly helpful or likely to change behavior
Ah, I understand your reaction more now. And of course his generalization, like all the others he has made, is ridiculous. At that point his posts became so familiar I had stopped really paying attention. Same old stuff that has come up in this thread many times before. I only noticed it because of sb's response.
No, it might not, I was just agreeing with sb in that as fellow Christians it would be their responsibility to do so if they knew.
There are plenty of examples of men who are the same. On a large scale there are an equal number of men and women that cheat, lie etc. My point is that the total number is far higher than idealists on liberal forums like SDN believe. Important info for those who are future professionals and have limited dating experience (while still single).
And that consists of nerdy girls... or girls who are looksmatched with the nerdy guy they're into.
Looks are always a touchy subject with just about anyone anywhere. Right away it creates a sense of insecurity in anyone who's involved in the conversation. I think your idea of a nerdy guy you find attractive is probably a 6/10 (which is above average) and in your view he'd be a 7 due to the subjective component.TIL that because I love engineers, I must be uggo
I haven't even followed this religious debate. If you claim to practice a religion but have ongoing premarital sex then you're a hypocrite. End of story. There's no ifs or buts.
All religious people who secretly sleep around condemn others for doing so. It's like when slutty girls call other girls sluts. Laughable at best and overly common.
"Plenty of studies" doesn't fly here. Put up or shut up.
...because the way you look dictates how you spend your free time?
Not, say, your personality and your interests?...because the way you look dictates how you spend your free time?
Must be hard for you to woo physically attractive (in your estimation) women if you think so little of them.
One study ever, that didn't ever bother to examine correlation versus causation, nor the male component of things. Maybe women who have had more partners are more likely to end up with men that have had more partners, and those men are more likely to cheat? That's just one of thousands of possibilities- it's a pretty terrible study.
Women who are marrying after ten parners or more are likely marrying later and often settling because they're tired of playing the field. It's likely more a function of why they married and the pool of available partners at the age when they married than it is of anything else. Men are, in general, much less likely to feel like they are settling, which likely explains the male side of things. Another poor study that sought to confirm its own hypothesis rather than answer the question of why its hypothesis is correct. Corration does not equal causation, please take a statistica course.
Hypergamy exists due to the sexual market value differences of the average guy and average girl.
What does hypergamy actually mean. I've heard neckbeards say it but idk what it is
Those are outlier cases. As long as you can hold a basic convo then you're good to go... which the vast majority of guys can. The average guy making her laugh will get friendzoned if he's out of her league.
Bahaha, this guy actually believes looks are everything.
