If I understand this correctly, OP is moderately conservative, strongly anti-church, strongly pro-life, and open to some sort of gun control.....and looking for a woman who thinks the same. My question is why does she have to match all of these boxes?

OP is a moron. He’s anti-abortion, so what. Buy women drinks, and if you ever start spending weekends together, discuss abortion. Until then don’t.

If I understand this correctly, OP is moderately conservative, strongly anti-church, strongly pro-life, and open to some sort of gun control.....and looking for a woman who thinks the same. My question is why does she have to match all of these boxes? It’s possible to have a perfectly lovely relationship even with some differences. Assuming that this isn’t a troll, OP is looking for a fairly narrow niche, difficult to track down anywhere. It’s not just DC - that’s a tough order to fill anywhere.

FWIW-I’m a Democrat, but most of my family are Republicans, I’m married to a Republican, I grew up in the Midwest and went to a fairly conservative college, and I briefly worked for a Republican Congressman—-out of all that, I know a very few people who probably fit the bill (though not sure about their abortion positions), but not many....and none of them are straight, unmarried women. I can’t think of an easy commonality that would identify a way to meet these sort of people. Maybe hang out at certain business forums or hang out where the Replicant Hill staffers go to Happy Hours?

I find it "normal" for women to be liberal, in seeking protection from the daddy-state (think Life of Julia -- ugh), as it is normal for men to be conservative. (Can you imagine being a woman and dating a liberal man? -- exactly.)

As a conservative minority woman I dated a large share of liberal men. Most are liars and cheaters but can be very sexy and gullible at the same time. They are very stupid in love and relationships. Hoping to find a good conservative man before my eggs rot.

There's this cool new app called Grindr. You should definitely check it out.

This is very real. I work with a guy who had the same issue. He is very conservative but did not want to date someone who was a Trumpster.

White House staffers?

I’m not plowing through the intolerant posts but if you’re not a member of a local church you may have luck through local Meet Up groups with people with similar interests.

You don't sound unreasonable. How old are you? Hang out where the normal Republicans hand out. They feel especially lonely with this crowd in the WH.

Good luck Op.

I typically vote republican but voted libertarian in the last election. Would have voted for Trump if he and Hillary were the only 2 options. (I believe he’s more of an old school conservative Democrat like my grandparents but I digress).

I imported my non liberal husband from Texas.

You might try hanging out in Georgetown or Glover Park. Those are the most conservative neighborhoods in DC.

You might also want to spend some time in Annapolis. Plenty of conservatives there.

OP: it's much more fun to find a liberal woman and turn her out as a conservative.

I find that many women are nominally "liberal" when it comes to how they publicly identify themselves, but are fairly conservative in their own personal lives.

That does make it tougher. Agree that you should make sure you have something in your online dating profile like moderately conservative so people know up front. Usually there are profile questions about religion so it’s important to figure out if you are comfortable with your girlfriend being Church going or not. Looking down the road, you may need to be comfortable with any children being raised in that religion and your role being anywhere from supportive to converting.

Although this area is somewhat liberal, even in MD you find lots of conservative areas and definitely in VA. Also, you have transplants from lots of places, I’m especially thinking certain areas of Pennsylvania, that would likely align with your values.

Conservative D.C. area female here and given that women tend to skew more liberal I think you're going to have trouble finding a like minded female here with your non religious stance. Most pro life women are looking for a religious guy.

Hang out at the bar at BLT Prime.
