Yeah it's fine as friends - but when 90% of your dating pool believes this stuff it's kind of a pain. I try not to make fun - but I make it real clear I'm not going to get at all excited about how you just manifested a taxi to magically appear by thinking positive.
Which works - you can still date - just like people with diametrically opposed religious views can stay married. But holy crap is it a massive relief when you meet a girl who actually appreciates science. I met an Irish girl on this trip who's an engineer - that's worth like +1 to 2 on the 10pt. scale. The whole key to a lasting relationship imo is lining up on enough checkboxes that you aren't butting heads all the time. When you are internally rolling your eyes at 10% of the stuff she says, that is suboptimal.
Also one of the reasons I seem to gravitate to Asian girls - they tend to think a lot more practical than the average LA white chick. Latinas as well. There is a lot of practical homespun cultural wisdom passed down from mother to daughter in those cultures - which seems to be missing in a lot of American girls for some reason.
Note I know plenty of men who believe this stuff too. I was in a men's circle with a bunch of them. I just don't care because I'm not looking at them as potential life partners.
Speaking of the Irish girl - she makes an appearance the latest blog post:

I'm in Leon Nicaragua now where all I want to do is sit in the AC. So the blog is getting massively closer to up to date.
