entitlement and preferences . . . interesting.

I'm of more the flavor that people "don't get it" and they are pretty cold and don't understand and really don't care to understand.

Yep, stick up for what is popular and you're the hero.

I honestly do not get what you're saying and I feel that I have somehow offended you in some way. I was merely answering your question as best as I could and I told you a couple of times I really enjoyed your question. It was unique and actually had to make me think before I posted on what I wanted to say.

But now I feel like you're somehow twisting what I've said to make me look bad, or you've taken what I've said the wrong way and now are offended.

Maybe I'm reading your tone wrong, and honestly I don't get your post. It doesn't make sense, but from the tone of it I feel like you're offended. I feel as though I've been honest with all I've said and said on multiple occasions these are all my opinions and aren't directed at anyone.

In fairness to @SweetCarolina, she was asked a direct question about her preferences and thoughts on those with a disability. She didn't announce her preferences. We are all " entitled" to our dating preferences. Otherwise, we should just all marry any random stranger and be done with it, lol. I have no idea why Christian people get all weird and act like having physical appearance preferences or any other type of preference is shallow. Being strange and condemning other Christians for having preferences is actually the norm in Christian circles. It's like people think we all float around like ethereal beings only looking at each other's hearts. That's just impractical, stupid, and actually contrary to how God designed us.

Besides, I'm pretty sure she of all people actually does "get it," when it comes to the struggles and hardships for those who have disabilities. I value her opinion on those who are milking the system or not pushing themselves, because she should know what she is talking about :)

This basically is all I was saying. And very well said :)

I completely agree with what you've said and couldn't have said it any better myself.

Yes, I couldn't have said it better either. Another thing I want to add

Colossians 4:5–6, "Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."

That's a very nice scripture.

Who to trust, who to trust. I appreciate your welcome. I'm a little unsure on what I said wrong here. I'm still trying to remember what I said wrong in another post. Anyway, thank you for your welcome.

Yes, and that is how Christians always respond to me.
