It's tough to meet a woman to my liking when I'm an agnostic with Christian-like values

So, I rejected another woman this past Friday night, who had been making advances on me and wanted me to go home with her. She was single and attractive, but I just don't do that. Upon hearing about this, a person at the bar where I was sitting, said in a rather flabbergasted tone, "I'm about to give up on you. What, do you not believe in pre-marital sex?"

I responded with, "No, it's not that. It's..."

...before someone interjected and said, "He's just particular!"

The original speaker then said, "Well, do you go to church?"

I responded with a, "No, I'm not religious."

He then said, "Well, you're not going to find a woman like that in a bar."

I replied with, "I don't look for women when I go to bars."

Just before walking away, he said, "You're doomed."

So, that's me - an agnostic, whom most people who know me would say has Christian-like values. The guy was right - I likely won't find a non-religious woman who has values like mine in a bar, but as I don't go to church, I'm not going to meet anyone there either. It's difficult. A woman may hold similar values to mine, but if she's uber-religious and discovers I'm agnostic, that's really all it takes for her to turn the other way. It's not how I act, how I speak, how I carry myself - it's the fact I don't believe in and worship what/whom she does. On the other side of the spectrum, many women who may lack any strong religious affiliation, seem to turn their backs on me due to my morals. So, where do I go? I have to believe there are women out there like me, in that they're not religious, but don't need religion in order to inspire them to have decent morals. In any case, I can't force myself to believe in something I don't and I'm not going to change who I am as a person in order to appease those who believe I'm too moral. I don't know where the kind of woman I'm looking for are at, but I'll continue looking until I find her.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
