Thread Topic: why dating sites suck

I get really annoyed with sites like J Date or Christian Mingle, or my new personal favorite, Black People Meet. I don't like this idea that everyone should be with their own kind, and these sites just reinforce this idea. Personally, I think if the color of someone's skin or their religion is what you are baseing an entire relationship on, you are completely shallow. Just think, there could be someone out there who is absolutely perfect for you, and you may have completely disregarded them. Why? Because they're fat, or they're a different religion, or because their skin is too dark, or any other superficial thing for that matter? I have preferences of my own, to be fair, but if I can meet the one person on Earth who truly gets me and I would want to spend my life with, I'm not gonna throw it away because something as petty as race or religion, or some other physical imperfection. This is why dating sites exist. Everybody is dumb and shallow and looking for something perfect, and when they find the "perfect person for them" on Eharmony or some s---, they still probably f--- it up because they are completely immature and shallow and will find something wrong with whoever they date or marry. You want to find love? Lower your f---ing standards, compromise, and have an open mind!
Bloody humans. -
I hate that to. Omigosh. It gets on my nerves so badly, I can't even explain it. -.-

Christians for the most part aim to date Christians of the opposite sex. If they are actively seeking to be in a relationship they generally set that as a criteria.

The opposite sex part I get if that is your sexual orientation. I'm personally bisexual, hell probably pansexual. My preference is to date women, but I'm not opposed to dating a man if he is the right person for me. But religion as a dividing doesn't make sense to me. This is as much about my issue of religion driving people apart. But really, how different is Christianity from Judaism or Islam, or any other religion for that matter? I am sure there is some kind of spiritual compatibility between a Buddhist and Christian, but they're probably too closed minded to see it.

Don't pick out tiny flaws and argue about them. For the most part religion doesn't divide in most situations. But if you are choosing to spend the rest of your life with someone you wouldn't want big differences like religion. If lets say I married a muslim. I'd have to put up with "praise allah" her hair never being shown and many other things. (I am straight so in all examples I assume a partner for me would be female). And of course different places of worship which would be a pan in the butt.

It's never been a dividing line for me or my friends (can't say the same about my family). I've dated a Jew. My dad isn't technically the same religion as my mom, but they're both Christians. My friends are dating, and one of them is Nondenominational Christian and the other atheist. My Muslim friend is dating a Baptist. And most of my friends, no matter the religion, aren't straight. Christians, Jews, Muslims, and atheists alike. Most of us are bisexual.

"I'd have to put up with Praise Allah and her hair never being shown". LOL cuz that doesn't sound intolerant at all.
First, the whole burqa deal. Not as many Muslim women wear that as you might think. I've read that only 20% of Muslim women throughout the world wear it. It isn't actually required of them, it is a cultural practice that is enforced by male figures of authority, specifically fathers and husbands.
Second, you know Allah is the same God as the Christian God, right. -
We do believe that we are all descended from Abraham, so you're right. We're mostly different because the Muslims have some different beliefs and practices from the Jews and they don't believe in Jesus. Tongue is right.
