In my experience conservatives men can date liberal woman, but liberal men cannot date conservative women. It boils down to the same reasons, almost all men think they are smarter than women, particularly in politics, but liberal men like to delude themselves that they are feminists, so they cannot handle the cognitive dissonance of their sense of superiority. Conservative men are more in tune with themselves.

lol.

DH is a liberal. I'm an Independent, used to be a R. Married 20 years.

We've had some colorful discussions about politics and history, and at one point, DH said to me, "Every time I say something you have to disagree with me". To which I responded, "If you wanted to marry someone who always agrees with you, you picked the wrong woman."

Over the years we've sort of met in the middle. I have to say that Trump really pushed us closer to the middle to the point where I dropped out of the R party (TBF, I think I was on my way out).

DH is not a progressive liberal; we actually see eye to eye on several issues. I'm more "nationalistic" than he is, but some of that could be because he immigrated here as an adult from a European country.

I think it can work if you are not extremes, and you can respect each other's views and agree to disagree. Otherwise, no, it won't work.

Trump pushed you to vote for a demented man? Lol, I see it differently. I see that you submitted to his views. He played the long game and won. And yes, he has always and will always think he’s smarter about politics than you are. He’s a very patient man.

Tell that to James Carville.

Personally, I think liberal men tend to be a lot smarter than conservative men and conservative women in general tend to be a lot dumber or more simple than liberal women. Dumb, simple women might be attractive to conservative men, but they really aren't to liberals.

? you know that a lot of Rs don't support Trump, right? #neverTrumpers?

And your use of the word "demented" applies to Trump. I'm no Biden fan. Never was, but yea, he's less demented and dangerous to the country than Trump is.

We don't vote the same way on every issue or politician, and actually he has voted for a R governor in the past, as I've voted for a D governor before. Like I said, we've met in the middle, and neither of us vote down ballot every time. He actually avoids anyone that is labeled a progressive.

We aren't blinded or scared by Trump's tactics, unlike the rest of you Trump fanatics.

I would say the opposite. Marry and have kids with a conservative woman, they are taught since childhood not to act in moment and more long term relationship stable.
If you just want to date, sleep with liberal women

Conservative women are also more likely to want to stay home and expect the man to pay for that.

It would be kind of refreshing to have a woman just state that upfront as opposed to a Strong Independent Woman who unexpectedly drops out of the workforce when the children come and expects their husband to grind out the ladder climbing all while somehow being very available at home.

James Carville is not a feminist. He feels intellectually superior to is wife without any of the cognitive dissonance. Besides they’re both phonies without any real principles.

This is the answer.

Dating, not a problem. Marriage, probably not. How’s the sex? I dated someone similar to what you describe. Pretty, smart, fun, active, athletic, waxed, sunny personality. Great sex. However, the political views kept me from committing to something long-term. I still think about her from time to time.

Wouldn't be a big deal to me. Am not American and think you all are wasting so much time, money and energy on domestic politics. You and your media all look like cannibalists to outsiders.

Historically the liberal who post on this board lack any free thought op. You will only get a few real answers because of this.

My answer it this: you agree on a lot. Accept each other for the few small things you don't agree on. You are both voting the same way next election so this is really a non-issue.

For me, political orientation--especially in the current climate--reflects core values. If there's any chance the relationship will become serious, be honest with yourself about how much your core vales matter to you.

100%

I’d agree with this. The only exceptions would be men who are not white and/or not American.

This is the best advice I’ve read here.

Are there any religious differences? I think that matters much more for raising children because people are not fully red or blue anyway.

Also, the cognitive dissonance of a woman voting against her own interests is going to make your head explode. Why risk it?

As a conservative woman, I say read this and ask yourself if you would want to date someone with this much hate in their heart.

You get back what you put out in the world.

Try to hurt everyone around you? Don’t be surprised when people don’t like you.
