Would you date someone who is a self-proclaimed psychic/intuitive? This is a follow-up to the very interesting horoscope question I saw today. Would you date someone who believes in tarot cards, hypnotism, mystical powers of gemstones and crystals, psychic readings, and so on ... ?

Well apparently I married one. I could tell tho, the more stressed out he was, over whatever (work, or we weren't getting along) he'd regularly dig out those Alister Crowley tarot cards, writing them down even.
He was searching for a means to control his feelings, and existence. He never knew that he need to just let go of trying to control everything.

Oh the question, would I date someone like this, it depends. If my atheism drives them nuts then no.

Allister Crowley was a wicked demonic type individual. Most tarot readers will not use his deck.

@BettyColeman Interesting!
I'd no idea since the extent of my dabbling in anything in this "realm" was "art magic" ala TOPY/Genesis P Orridge things.

His occasional fixation on the cards made me sad for him.

@Qualia The tarot cards a merely a focus point that some may need to keep from distraction. Actually, you have to remember, I am 70. I was 24 when I left my dogmatic path my parents rammed down my throat. It started at 18, but at 24, I had some kind of mind altering happening. I became a completely different person and all my interests. lifestyle, etc changed. So I have had the time to meet many types of people. I have met many tarot readers. I have also met many Christians , and atheists. It is their business and none of mine. The only reason I said that about Crowley is my own exposure to them was like those of others. I don't even know where my own Morgan Greer deck is now. I guess it got thrown out when I moved one of my several times!

Just one qualifier before I answer the question - Does she look like this? 🙂

Will she deflate if there is a pin prick..if so, there is no future anyway?!

@Humanistheathen She's a real person who designs Steam Punk fashion.

@Freedompath If I recall correctly, the last guy that tried to prick her without her approval had his prick broken off and tucked into his coat pocket.

@Surfpirate REAL and tough! Lol

you are a foff. go buy a Barbie.

@BettyColeman I've been told to FuckOFF but never been called one before, what does that even mean? I dated a woman who looked a fair bit like the woman in the pic and she's a very nice person.

@Surfpirate I am a nice person. I try to help save animals, humans, and the planet. You must admit that picture you put up looks nothing like me. In m 20s and 30s close perhaps. I am not a person who can be nice to myself when I think Of how I look. The picture is current from the last 6 months, so it is me. If you are respectable to women and do not try to screw everyone you date the first time, I apologize. The picture and your comment is misleading in that it seems like if she is pretty enough, you'd screw her. If not the case, I apologize.

@BettyColeman The question of this post is should we discriminate against dating people who are psychic/ new age types and my response was to point out that there are many reasons why an Atheist would be interested in dating a person, not just there delusions. I think it is naive to think that people date others based solely upon how they think. Physical appearance, shared interests, intelligence, charm, sense of humour, wealth, etc. are all factors in the dating game. That's why many people won't even respond to people without a pic on a dating site. As for FOFF, well I am still left wondering.

@Surfpirate you are ok. the way I used the word foff was meant to be a mean stay away from me. If you still like to hook up with someone whom you have no relationship or chemistry, I feel sorry for you. Animals in heat do that. Now I said ok, told you the usage meaning, we should be alright with the world.

@BettyColeman Except for you being a self righteous and judgmental person who doesn't even know me or my history. You sound like you will be waiting a long time for Mr. Right, FOFF is right.

@Surfpirate I am nothing not what you think or say. Talk about self righteous, no I am not. I usually always say I am sorry in an argument before another.. You do not know me or my history and just look how nasty you became? Sir, You are right, I am sorry. You have a wonderful life.

I have many girl friends that believed in such nonsense. We might have gone at it for a while, but eventually I'd give them some logic that countered their silly beliefs, and it ended rather quickly. Since then I've tried to avoid such relationships.
