[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define conservative. By definition, education learning new things, new approaches, meeting new people and ideas tends to be a liberal tenet. [/quote]

One would think so. Unfortunately the progressive left has forgotten this. Statistics show they are the most intolerant, and now[b] Democrats are more likely to refuse to date or be friends with conservatives and boasts of cutting off family and old friends over views is much more common on the left than the right. [/b]So I'd be careful in making these kinds of assumptions. Any pragmatic person who's been through the elite Ivory tower knows they are the most ideologically rigid and unforgiving of any higher education institutions.

I don't know what OP is looking for, but it she or he is looking for the old fashioned concept of liberal, aka a genuine tolerance of diversity of viewpoints, best places are probably the big state universities and southern schools. Faculty will be D voters but students are all across the spectrum with minimal pressure to hide their views.

I would guess this is women unwilling to date men who think they are second class citizens/shouldn't have bodily autonomy.  I don't find that surprising at all, [b]tolerating a view point doesn't require you to date them[/b]. [/quote]

This was true for me and my peers in the 1990s and 2000s. And I expect it will remain the same for DD and her peers in the decade or two two come.

Dating has always been a self-sorting process. The only “new” part of this is the big jump in the number of very conservative young men without a similar shift from young women.

The result is that conservative men are facing a smaller dating pool. The same is true for liberal women, by the way. There’s a major population mismatch going on right now, but recent research shows that young women are more focused on first establishing a career than getting married and having kids. So there’s less disappointment/bitterness showing up from the women (and fewer mass shootings, too ….) [/quote]

Based on what Ive seen, there's many more frustrated liberal single women than frustrated single conservative men who can't find spouses. NYC and DC are packed with childless single women and it's been observed that it's a significant factor behind the leftward drift of the Democratic party and the party's embracing of controversial social topics. Meanwhile married women continue to trend more centrist and even conservative. Being married and having children clearly brings out greater conservatism in people, for both men and women.

As for schools, most state schools are going to be more apolitical than political. The local regional university near me has everyone, more or less, and a pretty chill atmosphere. I concur with a PP who said most kids going to college aren't looking for politics or agonize over politics all day long. [/quote]

No.  Many  most certainly do not want to raise kids with a conservative partner. [/quote]

And many do.  See how that works?  Also, many liberal people label anyone who is even slightly to the right of them, "conservative" (or even "MAGA").  It's all very silly.[/quote]
