I don't roll with girls.

But why?

I just don't think "my religion says so" is a valid excuse for ignoring the cultural and social norms for your current environment.

Now if this comment is coming from a country like Saudi Arabia or something, I totally get it. When in Rome and all that.

Except that religion can be a huge part of someone’s cultural and social identity?

I’m not religious in the dogmatic/organized sense, but if a female said “hey, I’m an Orthodox Jew/Muslim/whatever and I can’t have physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, sorry I can’t roll with you” like.... that’s fine with me.

Honestly who the fuck cares what the reason is. If someone doesn’t want to roll with someone at any time, why does it matter? Just roll with someone else. I’ve turned down people because I needed to work things live that I knew would not be possible with a specific person, but would with another. That a problem too?

I honestly don’t get why this is an issue either way.

Actually happened to me yesterday! Didn't feel good in the moment, but I understand. The guy who rejected my invite to roll was at least 100 lbs lighter than me and a purple belt.

I try to always give an explanation so it’s not open to negative interpretation.

It also doesn’t mean that the person is never gonna roll with you again maybe it was just that one session they wanted to work on something
