Smart young man! The liberal women at work are grossly loud, rude, and in your face and very critical

Then you must be happy that they are putting no Trump on a dating app ab so we don’t have to deal with you.

Yes. This is true. Please clearly indicate that you are nuts so I can avoid you.

Same.

That's why we do it. Bye!

You do appreciate that all such a requirement says is that you're unable to have a conversation with someone with whom you disagree. That's a death knell for any relationship as even the most compatible people occasionally disagree.

No, I would say that it means you would never contemplate raising a child with someone who has their values. Or that you cannot emvision working to make the world a better place, alongside someone who elects politicians who are busy making it worse. To save taxes yet.

Democrat women who think Republican women are submissive SAHMs obviously do not know any Republican women.

"working to make the world a better place, alongside someone who elects politicians who are busy making it worse" -- if you want politicians who make the world a better place, you can't vote for Democrats or Republicans.

I'm guessing PP already has. Hence the "single" part of his signature line.

Nah, I am not obsessed with politics to the exclusion of all else. I have plenty of things to talk about and plenty of things to do that are not political. I put those things in my profile, and talk about or do those things with my dates. I have never found it necessary to talk about politics with any of my dates.

Women who have political tirades in their profiles, who probably would want to talk about politics on a date, well, I am happy to swipe left on them. Plenty of other fish in the sea.

Men or women. That's a clue they have deeper problems.

Yup. I've long exited the dating pool, but I was in early in the online dating thing and never once gave a thought to whether any potential date was a Democrat or a Republican. And I was literally in politics until my mid-30s.

If you dated before the Trump era, this is irrelevant. I am also long out of the dating pool, never put political stuff on my profile, but absolutely would after Trump.

So would I.

I’m a Dem married to a Republican. When we married 20 years ago he was pretty middle of the road. Fiscal conservative, strong defense, and pretty much stayed out of social issues. He was even pro-choice back then.

Then Fox News went apesh*t over a black President, and DH went right with them. Born in Kenya, all that nonsense. Then Trump came, and life has not been the same in our house. I don’t discuss politics with him but he just can’t keep his mouth shut.

So my advice to my daughter now is do not get serious with someone whose politics are different from your own. If you want to advertise it up front and save time and headaches, go right ahead.

This. My H was middle of the road, even liberal on some issues. Then he went nuts when Trump came around. I couldn’t have a civil discussion with him, he’s get extremely emotional and start attacking my character (“I forgot you’re one of those FEMINISTS”). Would spend all night watching alt right YouTube videos and would legit cry over how hard it is to be a white male. There were many factors that contributed to our divorce, this was one. It was awful, I’d come home and he’d immediately bombard me with whatever political issue he had watched a video on, and even if I just remained politely quiet he’d get angry at me for not agreeing.

A lot of misogyny also developed, he believed I was taking advantage of him for his money, he stopped contributing around the house, and a belief he had access to my body whenever he wanted.

I tell my daughters to never get involved with conservative men, or even moderates. There’s a high risk they will become more extreme as they age. Ideal is a man who is a feminist, does his own internal work, and fights misogyny.

My people! When we were dating and for the first half of our marriage, my husband was a garden variety Republican and we got along fine despite our political differences. He voted for McCain, I voted for Obama, we had occasional debates about political issues but never got nasty about it. But around 2015-16 he really started changing his media consumption, started listening to right wing radio and was constantly angry all the time, and it has only gotten worse ever since. He is usually spoiling for a fight with me over whatever the right wing outrage du jour is, and even though right after Trump was elected, I told him I would not be discussing it anymore, he just can't keep his damn mouth shut. His political views find their way into even the most innocuous conversations. It's annoying, it's a drag, and on some topics, it's downright horrifying. The uptick in misogyny is incredibly upsetting. We've had some ugly fights over misogynistic, homophobic things he has said in front of the kids, and I don't want him infecting our sons with his poor-me-I'm-a-white-male mess. We are very probably getting divorced, though the political aspect is just the last straw, not the primary reason. The Trump years exposed already existing cracks in our relationship.

Anyway, if I'm ever in the dating world again, I won't consider a Trump supporter. Hard pass. So I can appreciate why people are willing to put that on their dating profiles.

I'm a liberal Black and Asian woman. I'm long out of the dating scene but I when I had a.dating profile on an app, I said I was looking for a long term relationship and mentioned what could be construed as left-leaning hobbies. I didn't mention my political affiliation on my profile. I don't know why someone into Trump or who was a conservative would swipe right on my profile or pursue me in any way, so I'm sure they would filter themselves out. (Although i did get matched with one guy who said his favorite book was a Rudy Guliani biography, lol.) And if it was just for sex, they would make it apparent within a few conversations. So I don't think I would need to make any statements in a profile to suss out someone with very different beliefs and values from my own. And yes, it was important to me to find someone who did share the same values and beliefs, along with having some wonderful personal qualities not related to politics. (Reader, I found and married him.)

Exactly the point. Women put no Trumper on their profile in order that someone like you wouldn't approach them. You wouldn't want to date someone like that because you have different different interests/values than them. It's an easy way to tease out incompatibility both ways and so why the strong reaction by some of you? Why not put I love Trump on your profile so that you can filter out someone whom you will not get along with? It's a win-win on both sides.

Have to ask - what are left leaning hobbies?

I know people like your husband, my sister is married to one. It's been a big problem for them. I don't think he got stupider or more conservative after 2016, he just figured if there were 70 million others like him who liked and voted for Trump, who wanted a person like Trump in charge, then it must be okay for him to also reveal his ignorant buffoonish white man opinions that he had been keeping mostly to himself pre-2016. Trump made it cool to be a fool. It persists, obviously.

This is a very proactive thing to do. The political views are so disparate now that it’d make a marriage miserable to have two drastically different view points on nearly every facet of life. In fact, I don’t see how a relationship could even get off the ground that way. Interracial, interfaith marriages, or marriages btwn different socioeconomic sects ware a non-issue these days, but interparty marriage?! No F way.

They are the right wing version of a social justice warrior. They are annoying AF and drive normal people crazy. They actually do more harm for their cause which is ironic.

It is just best to avoid anyone who considers politics a hobby.....they are all losers. Do you really think that successful and happy single men and women watch this trash on TV? No, it's for miserable people.

Single guy here too, actively dating for the last 15 years. I love when women self-identify like that and I can filter them out. That said, I've had FBs who were Democrat and, although I never discussed politics, if it came up I never let on I wasn't in full sync with her politically just to not ruin the sex.

[Anonymous]

What’s funny is that many of you don’t realize there is no difference between the two labels. All politicians are corrupt and only care about money and power. We are just part of the corrupt system that gets screwed. There is no difference between Democrat or Republican politicians except for a couple lies they tell to get votes.

As for dating, I would never date someone who puts anything political on their dating website. It would show me they’re too consumed with politics to talk about anything else.
