Never dated. Are these reasonable standards? Atheist, liberal, intelligent, mature, understanding, easy going, strong communication skills, has career goals, and healthy emotion regulation. Physically just not fatter than me please (~30% body fat) (23F)

Think having a specific body fat percentage is weird but besides that all understandable and normal

Girl fuck who you want, i don’t think it’s crazy to have standards. Most of these are like bare minimum in what most ppl search for. The ones that aren’t bare minimum are atheist, liberal, and physically not fatter than you. Even then, those are things that people often have for standards for

How is it not reasonable? Religion goes against my core values. Anyone religious or even spiritual would be wildly incompatible for me. Why would I not look for like minded people then? It’s the same reason why Christians look for other Christians, Muslim with other Muslim, etc.

Then you have a reductionist view on religion and thiesm. Some of the smartest people and most open-minded people in the world are religious. It just happened to some of the dumbest people and least open-minded people in the world are also religious. But they’re not monolithic. You already probably hold most of the broad views that Christian hold anyway even without being an active Christian. So no, I don’t think it’s reasonable.

I think it’s reasonable to not want someone religious if your not able to be with someone like that, Christianity for me caused severe trauma in my life so I wouldn’t be able to date a Christian because it would cause flashbacks people don’t have to date religious people

You can dress it up with all the nuance and culture you want, but when you strip it down, the core premise is still literally just believing in magic. It’s not "reductionist" to point out the actual foundation of what they're practicing. I could never respect another person as my equal who follows religion. I can respect them as a human and that they are living a delusional life sure, not my problem. Dating them? Absolutely not.

It’s bad because of the fact that you’re limiting the people that you could date because something that helps them make sense of the world around them that doesn’t concern you. It’s just as close minded as you think religious people are

The fact that you think religion is magic means you haven’t even talked to people who think about the religions critically.. which shows me that you’re just as close minded as you believe, the people practicing religion are. I think you live in a bubble.

I grew up in a religious household dipshit. Forced to go to church with all the other loonies. It’s a man made concept that only continues today through the indoctrination of children. I’m not here to help you deconstruct. Religious people and atheists are fundamentally not compatible.

You do realize a lot of that deconstruction shit is actual cult shit. If you don’t wanna believe anymore, you don’t have to believe and you don’t need a community to do that. If you follow the Gregorian calendar, don’t talk to me about indoctrination.

yeah but to reduce someone’s body to numbers like that is just kind of idk rude? you can go for someone you find attractive, i encourage you to. but if your only requirement for their looks is they fit within some body fat percentage range then you’re treating someone being fat as like the worst thing that can happen to them. everybody has preferences but that doesn’t mean those preferences are divorced from bias or social pressure

Idk if you’ve looked it up but 30% is pretty chubby. I use body fat percentage as height and weight vary for everyone. So body fat is the most accurate. Some could see me as too fat and out of their ideal range and I’d understand that. It’s again just a preference.

yeah but you’re still reducing people’s attractiveness to you as just their body fat percentage. idk in my experience if you’re looking for strict parameters on what someone’s body is like you end up ruling out a lot of people you have a connection with or do find attractive, and end up reducing them to numbers instead of people

OP do NOT listen to these mfs lmfao!!!! Date who you have a preference for! Men do it all the time. Women are allowed to go for people who they find attractive too Jesus Christ.

Actually they are trying to make her feel bad for having an idea about how fat she’s cool w her partner being, which accomplishes the same thing. Men objectify women all the time I don’t wanna see anyone trying to make a girl feel bad for the way she stated having a preference for a partner’s weight. Shes allowed to have it. The double standards are crazy

All she said was not fatter than her 😂 pretty normal. Like, not offensive even in the slightest. And NOT objectification. It is not her only value. Meanwhile men are out here talking about how women shouldn’t weigh over 100 pounds and body shaming them if they weigh a bit too much for them. Don’t act like this is the same shit.

you’re the one saying this is the same shit. i never brought up anyone else’s standards because the point isn’t to compare them it’s to point out how she’s thinking about people’s bodies is a bit unusual to reduce someone’s attractiveness to a numerical measure of their body fat

Nope.. literally just said this is not the same as objectification. And yet u trying to make her look rude. What she said isn’t even weird period. You are so focused on the way she decided to write a percentage for clarification lol. It’s not even relevant. All she wants is someone who isn’t fatter than her. Pretty normal stuff. Comparing them is societal context. A woman shouldn’t be be made to feel weird over such a normal standard
