Channeling - WTAF ? Is this an all new way of discovering twat-man?

mcmooncup · 21/10/2012 16:08

In my enjoyable quest to re-tune my twat-radar excuse to date a lot of men , I have come across a puzzling one.............what do you all think of this one ?

So, met a guy, he's 44, has 2 children and has a good relationship with them it seems, marriage broke down because his wife had an affair (she is still with him), he said he used to be working too hard and too long. He is good looking, well-dressed, has his own business, drives a Porsche

Sooooooo, to come to the point. He had told me he was into meditating, OK fine. But this progressed into telling me he does Channeling. I asked if he meant like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost. Apparently it's not......I still don't really know what it is....but I know I don't get it.

To get to the point........is it possible for this man to not be a twat and still do channeling?

He's very polite, not too full on, thoughtful etc. But channeling? Am I being very unspiritual or do well-adjusted people do this?

We all have many facets to our personalities and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that we're spiritual as well as corporeal beings.

Problems arise if someone uses their alleged 'spirituality' to maintain that they are superior to others.

It's interesting to be a new age hippy type and drive a Porsche. I'd have to keep dating him to find out more.

KinkyandGhoulishDorito · 21/10/2012 16:38

Although, I am susceptible to a bit of woo and DH thinks I'm nuts, but we have much, much more to keep us together aside from this. He raises an eyebrow and lets me be Grin.

mcmooncup · 21/10/2012 16:40

Yes, Kinky, I guess that's why I posted. He is nice, I really think so. I've just got an overwhelming urge to take the piss. I actually think IABU.

Maybe porshes have the most positive ions out of all the cars. :o

Sorry. I will stop now.

FWIW I have some mad beliefs. Im not an anti spiritual person.

mcmooncup · 21/10/2012 16:46

It's really hard to stop though Domestic. He'll prob dump me anyway if we go out this week because I am unable to control my sniggering.

Rivers have negative ions though, if you are going to be woo you need to at least spout the correct bullshit.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/10/2012 16:48

:o AKiss.

CogitoErgoSometimes · 21/10/2012 17:07

I once made my excuses and exited a coffee-date because the bloke across the table started to tell me, at great length, why reincarnation was an actual fact. Not interested in any kind of discussion which might have been interesting enough to finish the coffee for. Of course, if he'd had a Porsche and a gold-card I might have stuck around for a biscotti...

WitchesTit · 21/10/2012 17:19

Hmmm, everybody's got their thing, I suppose...as long as he doesn't force you into doing 5am yoga sessions , I'd think it was good of him to share such a personal thing.

tallwivglasses · 21/10/2012 17:28

Does the 'woo' extend to...erm, tantricity in the bedroom?

Conflugenglugen · 21/10/2012 17:39

I think he sounds lovely. He might be a little out there in terms of what's normal (What is normal, anyway?), but the only thing that feels off-kilter in terms of behaviour is your reaction to him, mooncup.

Conflugenglugen · 21/10/2012 17:43

To quote your words back to you:

Him: "good looking, well-dressed, has his own business," "polite, not too full on, thoughtful" "sharing, non-judgemental, understanding, kindness"

You, on the other hand, have made a value-judgement about the car he drives, you "just want to take the piss", "I actually think IABU" "I am unable to control my sniggering"

mcmooncup · 21/10/2012 18:33

I know Conflu. I'm a shallow cow and will no doubt be jibbed off very soon Blush

I was wondering about the sex bit too Long, I've not been there.......could be interesting Wink. Or really really weird.

AKissIsNotAContract · 21/10/2012 18:44

Tantric sex is a waste of several hours IMO.

izzyizin · 21/10/2012 18:47

Time spent having sex is never wasted, IMO.

Trills · 21/10/2012 18:52

Depends if you think "into woo" is synonymous with "twat". I couldn't put up with the woo, personally.

dequoisagitil · 21/10/2012 18:52

Isn't tantric sex just sitting there thinking about it for ages? :D

MooncupGoddess · 21/10/2012 18:55

Hello fellow Mooncupper! I think maybe you need a bit more detail on this channelling lark. If it's just a poncey way of meditating and inviting nice thoughts I would be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. But if he tells you he can channel dead people or Porsches I'd be out of there quite quickly.

mcmooncup · 21/10/2012 19:07

I'm going to use that as my new mantra Izzy Grin

OP posts:
izzyizin · 21/10/2012 19:11

Being clairsentient, clairaudient, and occasionally clairvoyant, I've had to 'put up with the woo' from an early age, Trills.

I don't relate my experiences to others, nor would I expect them to believe my accounts of what I've seen/heard if I were to start banging on disclose. Even though I'm convinced what occurs isn't a figment of my imagination, I'm fully prepared to concede that it may be.

FWIW I'm not a new age hippy and regard myself as being better adjusted than most.

izzyizin · 21/10/2012 19:14

It sure beats cleaning the cooker, mooncup Grin and how else can you have as much fun in a spare hour or two or more?

OneMoreGo · 21/10/2012 20:21

What izzy said.

He sounds quite nice, if you don't want him, send him my way Grin

izzyizin · 21/10/2012 20:35

He sounds a refreshing change. If you don't want him, mcmoon, pass him my way on.
