Gay guys, would you be creeped out by this?

I'd run faster than I'd ever run. I couldn't date someone who identified as religious.

 

It wouldn't weird me out. (Although, it might tempt me to not cuss as much. )

 

It would get in the way of a relationship for me but that's because I'm Jewish. For a one-night stand I'd have no problem.

 

I dunno... I'm a Christian myself, but if there's an overwhelming religious vibe in any room, I'll feel like a nun will sneak up behind me with a ruler.

 

It's not bad. :lol: but it's difficult not to feel like a hypocrite when you're raised not to cuss, especially in the presence of devout family members.

I still can't bring myself to even swear in front of family. X_X

 

That is actually a tough question, as I sit and think of it.

I suppose the one thing I'm most bothered by is a belief that there is any "cause-and-effect" going on in prayers. And looking down on people that aren't of "their" religion, but frankly anyone can engage in that behavior.


I guess someone that placed their "god" above everything else or tried to convert me would be my only "no can do" issues. The religious icons themselves wouldn't bother me at all - in fact I would enjoy inquiring about their significance in your life.

 

I wouldn't have a problem dating someone who was religious, but I'm not sure I would want things to get spicy on a bed next to a prayer corner, right by the crucifix...

I'm not even Catholic and I'd feel as though I'm being watched disapprovingly.

 

I have a picture of Jesus or Mary in almost every room in my house, people I get with seem totally fine with it.

 

Wouldn't bother me, if it bothers someone that you're religious then they aren't worth your time. Find someone with the same beliefs and you'll be much happier. They're a lot of gays who are religious.

 

I don't think it's weird at all.

I also have religious images in my room and a baby Jesus I lay to "sleep" on Christmas Eve and we "awaken" him on February 2nd.

It's kinda weird typing it out hahahaha, but it's been a custom in my family since I can remember.

I haven't really put much thought into the sex thing im my room, it does sound kinda uncomfortable, so maybe I could just go to my partner's place for that. or hotel room, or car? hahaha

 

That's EXACTLY what it's like. :badgrin:

Anyway, it would be hypocritical of me, considering my own Bible and Crucifix perched or hanging by my bed (I'm no longer practicing, but keep them around as keepsakes, since they were gift from family members).

 

It wouldn't creep me out or make me not want to date them, seeing as I'm religious myself, for one. As Gen said, though, it might be a bit odd to make out or anything in plain view of it or even right beside it... but it's not a deal-breaker.

 

Wouldn't bother me. I might think it's an awkward spot to put a cross though haha.

 

I'd probably raise an eyebrow if someone said that seriously. :lol:

 

As long as I wouldn't get dragged to Church at on unGodly hour, I'd be fine with dating someone who's religious.

 

As has been mentioned a few times, so long as they respect me enough to not be hell-bent on converting me, we'd be okay.

 

It would not be a deal-breaker, but I'd expect not to be pushed into doing Catholic things outside of my comfort zone if we were in a relationship.
This is a surprisingly interesting question to think about... I'm enjoying reading the responses.
