Too much, just right or not enough?
I've decided to try the whole online dating thing again and put this disclaimer on my profile (not here, this isn't a date site for me).
"Disclaimer: If "GOD" is anywhere on your profile or is something you value, please understand we will NOT be compatible. Thank you for being respectful and moving on."
I would remove the all-caps, because all-caps has become code for yelling.
It's ironic that you are asking people to be respectful, when it appears you are shouting at them.
Gee where were you 30 years ago !!!!!!
I wouldn't have thought, once you're able to screen the god squad out, that you would have much problem getting a date, unless you're a real pain in the ass or really smelly?
Someone described you as a Kentucky Redhead, thought that made you sound like a chicken but that's a Rhode Island Red lol
Oh man you in Ky. Be hard to find free thinkers there I think. Its hard enough here in California. In class we went around and introduced our selves one of my my statement was I am atheist out and proud. It is more acceptable to gay or lesbian to be atheist here. I am an atheist, hippy liberal.
Just my 2 cents but I try not to let the haters get into my profile...what if the religious person (and it's rare I agree) doesnt need you to verify their beleifs and is a live and let live person? Or maybe less direct and add a few other things that you don't want like "DISCLAIMER" Moustaches, beggers, god fearing, gun toters and unemployed need not apply" Otherwise yours is fine Good luck!
I think it's fine. Your being open and up front about it and hopefully people will respect that.
Interesting approach. Please do let us know how people respond to it. I wish you success in finding who you are looking for. Be well.
It sounds good to me. Let us know how it works. I'm thinking you will hear from believers anyway; but I want to know why. Do they not read the profile, do they not care, or do they feel the need to try to change you? You could turn this into a scientific study and sell your results. Ok, my mind is racing, I think I need a Saturday afternoon nap. lol
I had a whole paragraph about my atheism on another site and still got believers wanting to meet me.
They either think you are easy or want to save you LOL
What ever makes you happy.... 'envy the smart guy that will put religion in the back burner for a Lady like you! I know I woild kill the pope if you ask me too. Happy Hunting!
I feel the same way about pets on profiles. I consider pets to be one's "god" and just would not waste my time pursuing it as one would always be second place to their "god". Just my opinion.
@Byrdsfan My issue is strictly, that anyone (male or female) who displays a photo of their pet, indicates to me that in ANY conflict between me and the pet, I would come out on the losing end, and most likely have to leave, so why bother.
Although I don’t have them in any of my pics one here (I do have my dog), I can say that my daughters and my two small grandchildren would always come before anyone else. So really, I guess if you want to be the absolute number one in someone’s life you have to choose someone without any offspring.
I do wonder what sort of conflict is meant here. If I met someone who then said ‘The dog goes or I go’ then they would be the one to go for sure; I would not want to know such a selfish person. But I doubt many people would say ‘I can’t see you tonight because I’m washing my dog’ so not sure what conflict there would be other than the most basic ‘I don’t like pets’ versus ‘I like them’.
But the truth is that an animal lover and someone who doesn’t like pets simply aren’t compatible.

There can't be too many geographically desirable non-believers in Kentucky.
I have a hard time imagining how I could live with a Christian, but the number of female non-believers in the Los Angeles basin is very small, and most (all) of them have profound problems (It's L.A and misandry is standard).
Women are usually only on a dating site to assuage their guilt over being single; they very rarely respond to solicitations except to get out for a free meal.
You like being alone, and you could change that any time you like. You should get used to being single. Relationships are really just too much work. Love isn't worth it (sarcasm).
