Hi Everyone! For this thread, I've posted a video by Atheist, Rachel Oates, an educated, seemingly classy young gal, wherein she reviews a presentation from a Christian guy known as 'ThatChristianVlogger' who addresses a specific tangent about relationship expectations which have to do with why certain women have difficulty finding a man.
HOWEVER..., because the social synergy involved in Rachel's review is such as it is (especially once you get past the first few minutes or so of the video), I think the comparison she makes between her atheistic, female view to his Christian/male view on male/female relationships provides for a more general discussion on what makes or breaks the potential for good romance and relationships in this social strata of society [and not just for Christian women, but any women...or men]. And being that there's a particular social awareness coming about with the “Times Up” movement, I think this can make for some interesting discussion.
So, please watch the video (~15 "interesting" minutes ), and respond as you see fit to do. You may want to consider how you feel about:
And of course, if you think of some other factors or contingencies that come to play in Female/Male relationships and dating expectations that neither she nor he have considered, please bring these up as well and feel free to discuss, especially within the context of what could be most ethical or moral, or in connection to whether all of this should be considered to be realistic or just too idealistic.
So, whaty'all think? Enjoy!!!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!!!

So, please watch the video (~15 "interesting" minutes ), and respond as you see fit to do. You may want to consider how you feel about:
- The extent you think she's right? The extent to which his views are applicable?
- Does she fully represent a female atheistic view, or just one kind of female atheistic view? Same for him. Does he represent a fully male Christian view? Is he being stereotyped by Rachel Oates? Then again, is he just stereotyping women in an unflattering way?
- Is there something she seems to miss or unreasonably reject about what he says? Is there something he say that is definitely “off” as far as women's romantic/relational interests are concerned?
And of course, if you think of some other factors or contingencies that come to play in Female/Male relationships and dating expectations that neither she nor he have considered, please bring these up as well and feel free to discuss, especially within the context of what could be most ethical or moral, or in connection to whether all of this should be considered to be realistic or just too idealistic.
