You should probably actually do some research before talking about things you don't know about, considering science is the reason we know the considerable link between Toxoplasmosis and altered brain function to begin with.

The stereotype is that man-hating and child-hating liberal women tend to grow into slightly crazed cat collectors since they dislike children but at the same time long for something to care for. And the stereotype does not exist for no reason. On a more scientific level, a person with indoor...

When I was a virgin, a non virgin man would have been 100% out of the question and disqualified. Even now, if (God forbid) I had to for some reason get remarried, I would never give a chance to someone who ever had extramarital sex. I could see how you would come to this conclusion considering...

I have been to very many churches of different denominations over the years, and not a single one has taught in my presence that affection is a sin. However, the bible is clear that lusting after a person you are not married to is, in fact, a sin.

The Bible in no way prohibits showing affection before marriage. It just prohibits sex and lust. If you think sex=affection, then you have a very sad, limited, misinformed, and warped view of affection.

That's something each couple will have to decide for themselves. My husband and I have the same friends, so we get together with them once a week at least. Sometimes I have lunch with just girlfriends, but not super often. We mostly group hangout with friends.

Yes, you have to check which ones take cash, but they are all labeled. Mine still currently takes cash without problem, and my parents still almost exclusively use cash. I strongly prefer the self-checkout/Walmart pickup, but that said I am also an introvert who dislikes having to unnecessarily...

Good friends go a long way and family go a long way. Church family included. Focus on loving the people who love you back already and nurturing those relationships now while you are single. It seems like someone who learns how to be content as a single has a lot better chance at finding the...

60% isn't much at all, barely over half of you. That's like a semi-close friend, maybe a close friend at best but certainly not spouse level. If you really think that 60% is all the potential that you two will have, then you're kind of begging to be disappointed if you continue with her. It...

I have never heard anyone use that verse, personally, but then against I don't think I've ever had a man try to "oppress" me.

I guess it's not a sin, but I don't see any reason to waste physical affection on someone you are not married to. Kinda like how kissing a frog isn't a sin either, it's just kinda pointless and meaningless.

Nope. I wouldn't even associate myself with such a person.

I think it's less about looks and more about what shape the other person is compared to you. But not really because of physical attraction as much as, will this person be able to do and enjoy the things I love with me? I'm not a workout person, so I don't really care if a guy is super ripped...

I'm going to say this even though it's a little late for it, not for your sake but for the sake of anyone else reading that is not married yet. But someone who is controlling before marriage will be controlling after marriage. Do NOT put up with anything before marriage that you are not willing...

Yes, that is kind of what I was thinking. Even today we still have such violent cases where women feel trapped in their situation though, so it is always weird to me when people seem to think that such cases were strictly characteristic to back when traditional relationships were prevalent when...
