A woman I’m interested in told me she’s politically conservative. She considers herself an independent but leans conservative on most issues. I’m in the middle and lean on different sides depending on the issue. We agree on some issues and disagree on others. Is is worth dating someone with varying degrees on politics and life issues? |
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. |
It's not worth it in this political atmosphere. I would have said yes in the 80s-early 00s but not now. At all. |
It all depends on which issues you disagree on. You have to know your own deal-breakers. |
It depends on which issues you disagree and most importantly, on how these issues play themselves in the relationship disagreeing on welfare might not be a big deal as long as it's not an issue you both are passionate about. Disagreeing on how you divide house labor will be a major problem if you eventually decide to marry or move in together. |
As a progressive woman, please stick with progressive women. There aren't enough guys like you, and there are a ton of conservative guys she can date, even in this area. Seriously. Also, the cognitive dissonance of a woman voting against her own interests is going to make your head explode. Why risk it? |
No, OP. Just NO. |
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. |
If you plan to have kids I’d steer clear. |
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 |
Can she define “conservative “.
I sort of doubt it. If she can … she’d dateable. I’m liberal, my h is conservative…. But he hates MAGA because they don’t espouse conservative views nor do they understand them. I’d be more Concerned with her saying that she is independent, which basically means she doesn’t know what she is. |
As a (different) progressive woman, I say read this and ask yourself if you want to date someone who is so sensitive and eager to play a victim. |
I’m middle left and my husband is middle right but we agree on important issues. We both hate Trump. We’ve been happily married 34 years and we do our best to not let politics get in the way. |
Ha ha ha ha ha. Conservatives are the ones with hate in their hearts. The rest of us don't want that hate propagated. That's not hateful. It's common sense. |
If you expect to find someone that agrees with you on every issue in life then you’ll be waiting a long while. |
