Being Atheist is a useful filtering tool.

I can’t love this enough. Great news! The religious will me alone then? I am thrilled! I make no secret of my atheism and complete disgust with the religious but now I’ll step it up a notch or two.

I was told by a former boyfriend that men like religious women because most of them are gullible and have minimal boundaries. My skepticism and boundaries weren’t attractive. Thanks for the confirmation!

LOL not if you're an atheist.

Mere words cannot begin to describe my utter devastation.

Yes, it does matter who they ask!

I've never dated a women who didn't believe in some kind of religion. That's the original reason I joined this site. I googled where to meet an atheist and got here. Still haven't met one in my area. Probably the reason I'll be alone for the rest of my life. I personally don't care what they believe but it always seems to become an issue for them at some point in the relationship. I don't push my beliefs on anyone but it doesn't seem to matter to them. I always eventually get "I can't be with someone who doesn't believe in god". But I'm not giving up, we just haven't found each other yet.

You don't want one of those evangelical cunts, your life would be miserable, stick with women like we have here

Yes but it does make you more attractive to a much better quality of romantic partner. Which can't be too bad. A good way to sort the wheat from the chaff perhaps ? Maybe not that much wheat in there, but would you be happy with chaff ?

Well considering how many Crazy Xstian are out there and answering surveys, this response would make sense because they also think that Atheists worship the devil when we don't worship anything except our own humanity. I do know a few Xstian girls from my past who were anything but holy in the sack, must be all that repression and guilt but Holy Fuck! (pun intended)

Have any studies asked nones if we view theists as desirable romantic partners?

I didn’t and, an agnostic, I married an agnostic. Now an atheist, I still view theists as undesirable.

I just shy away from anyone who brings religion into the conversion. There are many people who don't announce they are Ags or Ats, myself included. Wearing our beliefs outside this circle serves no useful purpose.

From my own experience Jesus wound up being a rather creepily interposed third party. Talk about awkward love triangles, I had to compete with an imaginary yet popular fictional figure. I’m not being flippant. This was of hurtful consequence for me psychologically.

I don't have a low bank balance but I would have to become a liar in order to date most women. To do this in my area a quick way would be to go to church, be friendly and tell the truth. Talk to women and you can bet a church gal will start thinking she can reform you. If she finds out later this was all to get her in the sack you are lower than dirt. I would not feel good being this cruel just to get laid. The other alternative if you went this path would be that you pretend to become converted because you found out the two of you deserve each other. It happens all the time. I'm on a couple of dating sites but I agree with Tom. You find out you are undateable to 80% of the women there.

And here all this time I thought it was because I was an asshole....

Not to fellow atheists….to them not being religious is probably the most desirable attribute in a partner. This is not so much a study but more an exercise in bias confirmation!

I would agree. We are less desirable (to the religious crowd). One thing we do have going for us is we don't have to obey all the silly, 'thou shall not' crap.

A few of my dating partners and relationships ended because I wasn't religious and/or wasn't interested in becoming religious.

Their loss

Hooray. My "short term relationship" rating is high!

Those you proclaim they love god(s) and Jesus always seem to believe that love is in the air not between two individuals!!!

Tell me about it. In my local dating pool on Match, it makes you undateable in the eyes of about 80% of the women my age, along with not having kids or being less than a moderate drinker.
