Unfortunately, I now bring 3 topics up front to the table because I'm not wasting any more time with this bullshit: Are you religious? Are you against legislating the uterus? Did you vote for Trump the 2nd time? If there is a yes to any of these, it's a deal breaker.
As to the sex of a dinner partner? That depends on the personality. I can't say a woman would be any more enjoyable than a man.

If you’re looking for a relationship, you need to mention religion up front. You don’t want to waste either of your time if it ends up being a deal breaker.

If you just want company and aren’t concerned about the future, I wouldn’t bring it up at all unless the conversation naturally went that way.

Never a bottle of Chianti! Makes me think of Fava beans and liver.

. . . the first two lines of my dating profile :

I am honest and direct.
I am unequivocally and decidedly lacking in religious belief (and seeking same)

(and atheism as my "religion" )

. . . and I'm continually astonished how many 'believers' still respond.

I mention mine as soon as possible! Paganism is gaining enough clout that young at least know what it is. My wife is Presbyterian but kind of “Luke warm” church goer. But she understand s exactly what I believe. Even the Presbyterian minister can openly talk with me and he learns about my view on sermons (an outside perspective).

I simply tell them I used to be a believer but I studied the bible too much. Some will accept that and some want to fight you or "convert" you. Be up front with them from the beginning.

How important is your partner's religious beliefs to you? The more important, the sooner you bring up the subject.

Right away, else why would I waste my time?

Right away if you're interested in that person. Also it's important to know about the person political views to avoid future disappointments. But if you're interested in meeting for sex, well ...... don't worry be happy.

They know it before we ever meet!!!

My profile always states I am not religious in any form or fashion!!!

Funny when i tried on-line dating I put that up front in my profile as a deal breaker. Amazing how many women blew right past it. For me a casual lunch/dinner wouldn't matter but if it was anything more (or had the potential to be something more) then I would deal with it up front.

I can't remember honestly.
It has been ages and ages.
I prefer time alone in desolate places.
The windier the better.

This is something that happens in the US mostly. It is not an issue in other countries. Why is it that it is so different there?

Welcome to your 1st welcome post here.... I doubt if you ask a woman to dinner from here, no photo no age no city is a big turn off.. answer all the questions complete your profile smile in a photo join groups of interests like cat lovers music lovers food lovers....say how far you will drive to meet someone and finally WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON loving Chianti like Jefferson....you must be 21 to buy booze

I don’t bring it up first, I never do. But I will not hesitate to be straight about it if I’m asked about it. Whoever can’t accept it for whatever or any reason, I’m fine with it.

um, "after" what ezackly?

and yeh fwiw "another woman" is open to several interps too i guess lol

I don't bring up a religious beliefs as I very seldom initiate conversations that naturally lead in direction. However, if she does I have no problem with having the conversation because I don't want to leave any impression that I may join her in some religious event.

As long as it is someone you are attracted to, gender isnt that important. After the second or third love making session. Whether they believe or not is much less important than how they act. If they are an obnoxious theist, you usually know in the first 20 minutes.

Are you conducting a poll or joining this dating site genuinely??

Our Atheism is NOT a religious belief so asking a leading question like you posted is not going to get you a date with an Atheist your age

I am open to discussing religious paradise after we reach the earthly paradise together…
