Does anyone believe in aliens?

I'm sure there are aliens out there somewhere, but I doubt very seriously that they've ever been here.

Dude!

What women want on a first date.. Is it true?

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 25, 2018:

This "what women want" thing is a tired old trope. They're people! They want what people want! It's not so different from what men want. Sorry, didn't mean to rant at you there, I just get tired of that stuff.

Which book or books do people enjoy reading?

The majority of Christians go to church because they are looking for friendship.

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 25, 2018:

I know what you mean, and it seems logical, but while it would be a help for atheists, I don't think it would change any Christian's minds. That's what they grew up with, that's what they know, and I think they'd be afraid of associating with atheists.

You are not your body.

If it weren't for your body, then where would you be? Of course we are our bodies. We are surely not some immortal soul.

Has anyone read Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha?

The influence of applied reason on belief

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 24, 2018:

It might help, but I don't think that, by itself, would do the trick. Religion is such a socially reinforced thing in so many places, and that makes it harder to break from, even if your mind is rational.

Get the point

The coming collapse?

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 24, 2018:

Wow! Well said! There's a lot to unpack here, and I'm not sure at the moment what to say, except that perhaps some of it is a bit extreme. The general ideas, though, I agree with.

Nice!

Pictures.

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 24, 2018:

It's good that you did post this, if enough people read it. Personally, on dating sites, I tend to pass over women who don't post a picture, not because it's horribly important, but because I figure either they're hiding something, or just can't be bothered. But this site is different. I forget all about the dating aspect on here, I just get into talking. So hi.

How do you respond when someone says, "have a blessed day."?

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 23, 2018:

Good question. Have you tried meditation? I know it sounds trite, but it does help with a sense of proportion. You can learn to let go of your thoughts for a while, and relax into yourself. I struggle with perfectionism to certain degree, but I also have defeatism, so that when being perfect is too overwhelming, I say fuck it and forget it.

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 23, 2018:

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 23, 2018:

Hello and welcome. This site is great, though it's not what I thought it would be. You can find groups for just about anything, lots of fun and funny stuff, as well as deep serious conversations. The dating aspect seems secondary to the community aspect, at least for me, though I know people have met through this site. Enjoy!

I am an only son, by father was an only son, and my grandfather was an only son (on the Norman side), but after that, I don't know. My grandfather was orphaned at a young age by TB, and ran away from the only family he had left, so I don't really know anything about them.
