Conservatives complain that liberal women don't want to date them.

[DetlefK]

https://www.washingtonian.com/2018/03/05/why-its-hard-for-conservatives-to-date-in-dc-right-now/

Washington DC has the most singles actively dating and using dating apps, according to a recent Time Out ranking, so it’s not surprising that political standoffs would take place in packed bars and Bumble conversations.

...

A lot of times you’ll connect with someone [on an app] and they’ll Google you, find out you worked for Trump’s campaign, and then it’s pretty much all downhill from there,” says a Trump Administration official.

...

Working for a right-wing publication is such an obstacle to dating in DC, he doesn’t put his employer on any dating apps and avoids talking about it until meeting someone face-to-face, he says.

“The policies and these things that are attached to the right whether or not you’re a supporter of Trump have been pre-supposed on you, and it’s like a black mark,”

...

He once brought a woman back to his place, and while checking out his bookshelf, she noticed some books by conservative thinkers, he says. “She was like, ‘Oh no. First question: Did you vote for Trump?’,” the reporter says. He told her no, but that he was conservative. “She was like ‘I have to get out of here. I can’t see you,’ and left.”

...

“We had a really nice time, but at the end of the date, he told me he didn’t believe in global warming,” she says. “I started laughing, because I’m from Colorado and didn’t realize people actually didn’t believe in global warming. But he was serious.”

...

“I feel like they look at me and are like, here’s a tall white dude with brown hair wearing loafers, and he probably has a picture of Reagan and the NRA in his bedroom or something,” says one of the reporters from the conservative media company. “I just think they have a very hyperbolic view of what a conservative is.”



--------------------

These dudes are right!!! Liberal women are unfairly thinking of them as Trump-supporters, just for being Republican!!!

Not every Republican is a Trumper!

Some are granny-starvers!

Some think that a fetus has more human rights than the mother!

Some value the right to own guns higher than the right to live without fear in a peaceful society!

Some think that the Bible trumps your schoolbook!

Some think that colored people are inherently inferior to white people!

NOT EVERY REPUBLICAN IS A TRUMPER!!!

60. How would any sane person even contemplate dating let along marrying a Republican.

[xxqqqzme]

103. My daughter, a vegetarian,

dated a rethuglican for a short time. He was always telling he he was going to 'turn' her. She told him "I'll eat meat before I vote republican'.

[Hortensis]

139. Conservatives mostly marry conservatives, liberals liberals.

Moderate cons choose each other, strong cons... etcetera. Studies show basic personality type compatibility is a stronger factor in choosing than the background factors, socioeconomic level, education, religion, etc. Huge factor in divorce also.

What's different here of course is heightened awareness, and heightened aversion. Liberals are alert and backing away on the first good clue, instead of as in the past only realizing that this isn't going to be the one by the third date or month.

But I'm sure a lot of conservatives are also. Just my speculation, but conservatives might always have tended to somewhat be less inclined to accept differences and give the relationship more time than liberals.

[sharedvalues]

150. Different: many conservs parachuted into enlightened DC

As someone who was once conservative and then went to live in a city and realized conservative “ideas” were mostly created by billionaires who wanted to cut their own taxes— I understand why no one wants to date them.

You have Washington DC, a highly educated, thoughtful place with a ton of smart people who think really hard about policy and law and science. And then this president wins and a bunch of brainwashed conservatives get parachuted into the city. Their right wing media tells them their ideas are ok and should be given equal time, but educated people know that their ideas are bunk and people holding those ideas are foolish. Dating a foolish person is no fun. Conservatives only do well inside their own billionaire funded safe spaces.

[Beartracks]

163. Great post. Spot on. n/t

[marble falls]

62. But that fact also shows that Conservative women don't want them either.

[mythology]

95. Part of that is probably the slim pickings

As evidenced by voting patterns, far more women identify as Democrats. So there are more Republican men than Republican women. That's probably even more true among younger people considering the demographic also leans heavily Democratic and that it's my impression that many of the younger male Republicans tend to fit into the stereotype of a bro (I don't mean that in the sense of Berniebro) libertarian, constantly trolling for the lols and complaining about SJWs that is at odds with where women in general are in the era of MeToo and pussy hats and such.

I certainly wouldn't want to have to go explain to a potential date why I was okay with the party of "legitimate rape", "grab em by the pussy", "sure I'll vote for Roy Moore" etc but that I wasn't a threat. People often make judgments based on stand-in information. In this case, women seem to be saying if you're okay with a guy who brags about committing sexual assault, that they aren't interested in trusting that you're different.

[calimary]

105. It's the "by thy friends art thou known" thing.

How they see the world, how they excuse or otherwise are fine with shitty behavior or anti-social leanings and preferences, what their general mindset is, and who they gravitate toward as far as potential candidates to support or align with. If their behavior and expressed beliefs expose them as troglodytes, well, then, that's THEIR bed that THEY'VE made, and it's THEIR problem (that it's suggested here that they have no intention of doing anything about it like maybe OPENING THEIR MINDS AND CHANGING SOME OF THEIR VIEWS), and it's just too damn bad for them if that means they can't get a date.

NO sympathy for wounds that are self-inflicted, or self-perpetuated.

[sharedvalues]

151. Yes. Well put calimary

[dixiegrrrrl]

108. "far more women identify as Democrats."

So as much as republicanism, it remains the issue of patriarchy.

Ironic that so many of the guys ADMIT their politics are toxic, yet they do not rule out wanting to date people who they have to hide their politics from.
How do they think the relationship would develop in that case?
"Well, if I don't SAY I am a Republican, she will never catch on" ?

[olegramps]

161. The perfect Republican catch for the majority is a ignoramus from Dogpatch.

[drmeow]

122. They don't want conservative women

cause liberal women are nicer, sexier, and more fun. Even a conservative person can only tolerate so much of the plastic shrill sameness of the Tomi Lahrens, Ann Coulters, and the rest of their ilk before running screaming.

consequences! Who knew?

On edit: I love how all these snowflakes constantly whine about "being demonized as a conservative." Guess what idiots? Run on a platform of taking away people's health care and potentially condemning them to unnecessary death, not giving a shit about future generations by ignoring global warming, ranting and railing non-stop about Hillary's emails but turning a blind eye to Trump's treason, ignoring the cries of schoolchildren being murdered for your gun fetish, MEANS YOU DESERVE TO BE DEMONIZED. Oh, and that' just a few of the fucked up things your party has done. You deserve every bit of shade thrown at you.

Suck it up, snowflakes.

[renegade000]

4. Well, for one thing...

Whining publicly that no women want to date you is pretty much a sure fire way of making no women want to date you.

[Laffy Kat]

5. Totally understand.

I won't even date a Christian.

[whathehell]

136. So you'll only date

Muslims, Jews and atheists?

[Laffy Kat]

137. Well I don't date much, but he'd pretty much have to be an atheist.

I respect religious people, but I don't think I could be intimate with a believer of any denomination. We just wouldn't be on the same wave length and I think it would interfere with the relationship in the long run.

[whathehell]

140. So it's not just Christians but believers of all kinds.

Got it.

They're sounding a bit like they think they're entitled, too -- another definite turnoff.

"Thinkers"? That's not how you spell it.

39. Tinkerers? Dinkers? Dorks? So many ways to describe people that just don't "think".

Well not about social stuff.

Maybe about money and power and control.

[Grins]

110. Stinkers

A take on the Reich-wing shit-rag “American Thinker (Stinker).”

[Jim Lane]

111. There have in the past been conservative thinkers.

I've learned from reading William F. Buckley, Jr. (Side note: His book on his mayoral campaign, The Unmaking of a Mayor, is still worth reading as an in-depth account of a particular campaign. It has some conservative ideology (of course) but it's mostly a narrative that's both entertaining and informative.)

Getting back to this thread: What would Buckley think of today's Republicans? Going further afield, what would be the opinion of conservative thinkers like Edmund Burke and Friedrich Hayek?

The vanishing breed of thoughtful conservatives might well have held their noses and voted for Trump in November, because he was closer to them on policy issues, but he would not have been their first choice in the primaries.

[DFW]

14. NOT conservatives. Republicans and right wingers. They just hijacked the word

Last edited Mon Mar 5, 2018, 05:00 PM - Edit history (1)

I am conservative (note: not "A" conservative as defined in the dictionary of Republicanese).

I am married to my first and only wife, with whom I've been for 44 years, work for the same company I joined 43 years ago, have no debts, am risk-averse, do no addictive drugs, not even nicotine, religion or alcohol, helped my wife raise our two children who are now out in the world earning their own living, and I adhere to philosophies closer to the 18th century Jefferson than the 20th century Ayn Rand.

Note that I am also against liberalization of laws permitting gun ownership, against restricting a woman's right to determine what happens with her own body, against all attempts to water down or eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Planned Parenthood. I am FOR equal rights for all citizens, FOR quick assimilation of (and fair treatment for) immigrants, and FOR increasing the quality of schools and the access to them for people who can't afford them.

So, does make me a liberal? A "libbrul?" I don't care, A label is what it is in the eyes of the beholder.

Just call me a Democrat.

If women run in the other direction when a guy says he's "a" conservative, it's not because he's conservative in nature. It's because he's in all likelihood a Republican asshole, and not a person who is likely to treat a woman with respect and kindness if she holds different beliefs. It's not because Democratic or liberal women are intolerant or snobs. It's more likely because they have a healthy sense of self-preservation.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. All In, DFW

You got me by a few years but married 38 years this month. One wife ever.

Paid off the house when i was 38. I'm 61 now. Never "moved up town". Don't have a Mercedes or a Porsch. (OK, i've got a crap load of guitars, but bought those with band money.)

Saved and saved and retiring at end of year because we avoided shiny baubles as much as we could.

Can't say what you said about alcohol though. I like my beer.

Your last paragraph says it all.

[DFW]

23. Alcohol falls under "choice"

I don't begrudge anyone else's taste for it, I just don't choose to drink it myself. I take a very "liberal" attitude on the subject, one might say. Like abortion: I would never force anyone to do it, and I would never forbid anyone from doing it.

As for guitars, I'm the same way. Back in 1977, I sought out and befriended an immigrant violin maker from Serbia who had a talent for building incredible 12 string guitars. Over the years, I had him make me several of them, all different (some cutaway, some not, one mahogany, one with a longer neck for low tunings, etc etc). He passed away 2 years ago, and now those things are irreplaceable. I also have one or two others that sound differently. Two are ca. 1965 Guild 212XL that sound similar (and like no others). I keep one here in Germany and one in Dallas so I never have to risk traveling transatlantic with them any more.

PS--come to think of it, I paid off my house at 38, too. GMTA! We both need to realize, though, that only a tiny minority of us manage to do that. A lucky break and some serious discipline came into play there.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. We're Talking Bozho (phonetic)?

Don't know how to do the markings above the letter. My friend has one of those.

I'm on board with your first paragraph, for sure.

[DFW]

32. That's the man

Božo Podunavac. (BAW-zho Pa-doo-NAH-vats). Podunavac really only means "from below the Danube," which he was (Novi Sad).

For foreign punctuation, go to your start menu, then Programs, then Accessories, then Character Map. Or else just put character map into search. Select what you want to select, then hit copy, then control+V to paste.

Božo was the nicest guy you could ever want to meet. Never learned English to save his life, but just a prince of an old world soul. He never figured out for decades that he could make money being the best at what he did. He said he wanted $2800 to build me one of his amazing 12 string guitars from scratch. Told me it would take about 9 months, and cost him about $2000 for the materials. I told him, Božo, you can't possibly make a living charging essentially $100 a month to build the best guitars in the world. He always replied he was scared that if he charged more, no one would buy his instruments. I assured him they would. Decades later, when he had retired for what must have been the tenth time, he called me up, thoroughly amazed, saying someone had offered him $10,000 to build him a guitar. I reminded him I had told him that years ago, and he admitted he should have listened. He died poor--a poor legendary genius.

[erronis]

46. I wish I could just upvote this conversation. It has been wonderful reading this exchange!

[RandomAccess]

76. What a remarkable, tho sad, story

It reminds me of what I sometimes fantasize about: my idea of Utopia --

It's a place where everyone has all their basic needs taken care of and are free to do the work they came here to do, unencumbered. It's a place where storytellers and musicians and caregivers of all types are just as highly valued as those who invent fantastic machines and build skyscrapers. And it's a place where people of all ages and physical capabilities are valued and those who become elders have a special, honored place in society -- as in Native American cultures.

Hmm, I think I should spend more time there.

[klook]

90. Beautiful post.

You inspire me to want to help build that world.

[RandomAccess]

93. Aw, thanks

I appreciate that.

[DFW]

121. He was once at a guitar makers convention in Nashville

During the big final dinner, speeches were made with recognitions for outstanding work, and suddenly Božo was told by the other people at his table to stand up. He told me, he refused at first, saying, "Why I should stand up? Everybody else sitting down!" The people at his table told him he had just been named the best living maker of 12 string guitars. "OK, for that I stand up." His English was so poor, he had no idea what the man at the podium had been saying.

I used to imitate his voice to my wife, and she used to give me a hard time for exaggerating his accent. She has never lived in the USA except for an almost-year in 1978, and told me NOBODY who has lived in the USA for 40 years straight talks like that. Then, one time when we were on vacation in the States, I got a small answering machine for the phone, because none had been provided. Božo called and left a message about something or other. My wife humbly apologized after listening to it. Božo's genius and talents did not, alas, extend to linguistic ability.

[ProfessorGAC]

102. My Buddy's 6 String Is A Work of Art

Cool that you knew him personally!

[malthaussen]

61. But you also play guitar in a rock and roll band...

... so that's cool.

By the way, does your wife know you're looking to get into dating?

-- Mal

[DFW]

146. If you told my wife I was looking to get into dating

She'd laugh in your face and ask, "When? In his free time between the hours of 2 AM and 4 AM?"

I did indeed play in a rock band (though mostly bass and keyboards, same set-up as Ray Manzarek of the Doors). These days, it's mostly Leo Kottke-style 12 string guitar.

Here is the last pair that Božo made for me:

[olegramps]

65. It is like what Kennedy said: I read the definition of a liberal and count me in.

[FuzzyRabbit]

84. You call yourself conservative?

Note that I am also against liberalization of laws permitting gun ownership, against restricting a woman's right to determine what happens with her own body, against all attempts to water down or eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Planned Parenthood. I am FOR equal rights for all citizens, FOR quick assimilation of (and fair treatment for) immigrants, and FOR increasing the quality of schools and the access to them for people who can't afford them.

That makes you a far left radical in today's world. You are farther left than our most "liberal" democratic congressperson or senator.

[DFW]

119. All correct.

I am conservative by nature--as defined in English. Republicans are not. I refuse to let myself be defined by Frank Luntz and Fox propagandists.

I am indeed conservative. However, in today's terminology, I am the opposite of "a" conservative. The word applies to me as defined in the dictionary of the English language, not Republicanese. When they whine that women shun "conservatives," what they MEAN is that women shun right-wing Republicans. There is no overlapping.

[appalachiablue]

133. The US has gone so far Right in the last 30 years that someone to the Right

of Ronald Reagan would probly be viewed 'Librul' now! Most Americans don't realize that European countries have many different political parties- Social Dems., Conservatives, Christian Dems., Greens, etc. and varying philosophies, unlike the dominant two-party political system in the US.
Politics there is usually more civil and rationally discussed and there are far more people who hold the views of Social Democrats, Democratic Socialists and other parties.

OP: Danke, und auf wiederhoren vielleicht.

[steve2470]

141. I'm like you are

Politically liberal but very conservative socially. IMHO from what I know, you've had a pretty successful life overall, due to working your ass off, obeying the law, treating your wife and kids well and just using good sense and discipline.

I'm trying to pass on similar values to my son but ah, youth and its brilliant superiority to we over 50

[DFW]

145. Like the song goes:

Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

153. Yes yes yes. Key is right was taken over by billionaires

It’s not about ideas at all anymore - it’s about propaganda to support billionaire donors. The billionaire donors want to destroy govt to cut taxes on the rich (ref: Piketty) and all the identity politics, anti gay, anti gun control, anti poor, anti woman hate, and all the rightwing propaganda — it is all in service of the billionaires’ goals.

There are no ideas, just cutting taxes on billionaires. That’s what most progressive women know (especially those who live in DC and understand the conservative “movement”) and that’s why they look down on the intellect and reason and values of conservatives.

18. They are kidding me right

They aren't being 'persecuted' because a woman feels they have different values.

It's like - the basis of a decent relationship right?

It was for me - didn't matter your race, your background, your job, etc. etc. but your VALUES mattered to me. My husband and I are as different as can be but our VALUES are the same.

He certainly wouldn't have gone whining to a publication if some conservative woman didn't want to date him because he was like- for unions and the freedom of choice!

He would have been like- good riddance!

[bettyellen]

50. i dont know that Id call what they have values- its more like a mindset. Same one MRAs have,

coincidentally.... down to this last bit of whining- they sound exactly like unhinged MRAs. Yuck.

[malthaussen]

67. They feel they are entitled to a woman's attention...

... if they condescend to give her theirs. So entitled, in fact, that some of them will use violence or drugs to get it, if not freely offered.

I shun them. Especially ones I've chatted with before. I just avoid. They know. Anything to make them feel slimey and uneasy with themselves.

My daughter walked out on a date when she realized she was out with a republican. No thanks! Not on your life!

[gay texan]

174. Yep,

Like guys who used to claim they like jazz music to impress women....

[MrScorpio]

26. When was in service, I was single and stationed there

It was pretty easy dating local girls. They all love a man in uniform.

[brewens]

28. Most women at least like to think you'd be safe to have around children. n/t

[bpj62]

29. Angry White Males

Show me a white male who complains about women not wanting to date them and I guarantee you they will blame the women as being a feminazi or a lesbian. Rush Limbaugh is a perfect example of this. He rails against women and It Is all based on one thing and that is sex. They don't understand why liberal guys are more successful in relationships then they are. I have a friend that I grew up with who is a hardcore rightwinger and he has struggled his entire adult life with relationships. He stays away from the politics at first but eventually it comes up and his views are very anti woman.

[brush]

49. I'd stay away from them as they seem like potential active shooters because they can't get laid.

[standingtall]

31. Why would liberal women want to date conservatve men

and why would conservative men want to date liberal women anyway? This just shows that conservative treat as if it were a sporting event. They must think the only consequence of elections is somebody just feels bad for awhile after losing kind of like a football. In the real world conservative policies have been detrimental to to well being of any groups of people. They don't seem to understand that it's not a preference disagreement but a values one.

[erronis]

55. Having "grown up" in the 60/70's - Because the hippie, free sex, thing

While I don't really like the moniker "conservative" men (preferring abusive, control-freaks, stupid, beer-guzzlers, etc.)

And I think this interplay still lives. Drugs and Sex and Power. Men in power think women are vulnerable, especially when plied with money/glitz, alcohol/cocaine (or whatever Cosby used), promises, threats.

I'm getting pretty far up there in years for a reasonably attractive white male born into a reasonably upper-middle-class family. While I've "had lust" plenty of times just like Jimmy Carter, I've never disrespected anyone else's personal space. Being a lot more mature and a lot less lustful is actually a great relief. Phew.

It disgusts me when I hear that young people (usually women) are coerced into something that they are going to remember/regret for much of their lives.

[flibbitygiblets]

33. Only a self-hating woman would date (or BE) a Russiapublican

Misogynists, liars, cheaters, liars, wife-beaters (and enablers), racists, who love guns more than children (unless they're in the womb, then it's ALL they think about, assuming it's not THEIR child).

Fee, Fye, Foe, Fuglicans, I fucking hate Russiapublicans.

[pnwmom]

34. They're a member of the party of the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief. No thinking woman

would want to get involved with them.

[byronius]

36. 'Why do you hate Darwin?'

I remember the surge of articles and news shows about 'militias' after the Oklahoma City bombing. Always, ALWAYS, their primary focus on the Aftermath of their Revolution or their Armageddon or whatever it was -- ALWAYS -- was how the women would be distributed.

It's a twisted, sick life to be one of them. Empty. Dark.

Sad.

[samnsara]

37. my dtr just got married again.the first thing i asked her was if he was a GOP or a trumper..

[Crunchy Frog]

38. Why can't they just date their own kind?

Are there so few RW women around that they're becoming desperate? Maybe a little self examination is in order.

[rurallib]

106. I think they are mostly over 50

that should be their target group if they want to date.

[flibbitygiblets]

117. I think you may have something there. THEY are 50+, feel entitled to date 20somethings

who find them vomitous in every conceivable way.

[FSogol]

40. If Liberal Women keep this up for a few generations, we should see a huge decline in RW populations!

‘A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.’

Besides, there should be a plethora of republican women, even married ones, who would date him.

Republican women don’t mind that marital infidelity thing.

53. Poor snowflakes

115. My thought exactly.

[malthaussen]

54. Good. Let's hope they never breed.

Although I suppose that they could always join the Trump dating site.

56. Give them all life size Hope Hicks dolls and tell them to go away.

That ought to solve everyone's problems re: these guys.

57. All I can say is:

No shit, Sherlock. Your politics are abysmal, and your skill in the sack is worse than that.

59. Odd -- I haven't heard liberal men complaining that they want to date conservative women --

like that hot babe ... ummm ... ummm ... no, or maybe um .....

Let me get back to this later.

[SunSeeker]

63. Conservative men are lousy in bed. They're selfish, boring lovers.

Whether they are Trumpers or not, they suck, and not in a good way.

[gay texan]

177. Let me fill you in on something

You would be surprised at the amount of the conservative, upstanding, uber straight men, that show up on gay hookup apps.

[7962]

180. Actually wouldn't surprise me at all! nt

[keepleft101]

66. I wouldn't date a conservative

69. What's funny is the Republican guys WANT to date liberal women

Because we are nice and fun and easy going. I don't mean slutty by that either, I mean we laugh easily and are well-rounded.
I'm way, way past dating age, but some things never change.

[LiberalFighter]

71. As a liberal man I don't don't conservative women either.

Or interact much with them except when necessary.

[NewJeffCT]

72. Maybe it's different for men

or, maybe it's changed since the 90s and early 2000s when I was either single or recently divorced, but I had no problem dating women that claimed to be Republicans. Now, I live in Connecticut so most Republicans are pretty moderate and nothing with a Republican woman ever lasted for me. But, if the woman was smart, had a fun personality and I was physically attracted to her, I would date her. Most of the time, politics did not come up right away and it was likely only for a few dates.

I drew the line at women that were very religious and spoke openly about it, though.

[samir.g]

74. conservatives should be pariahs in normal society

[relayerbob]

75. In all fairness ....

I was on some dating sites a couple of years back, and quickly learned to avoid women who were self-proclaimed conservatives. Living in the South, there are a lot of them out there. What I don't understand is why any woman would choose to support the GOP and their blantantly anti-women positions.

[BlueTsunami2018]

77. Why would they even want to date liberal women?

Isn’t a bible thumping, gun toting, subservient Kim Davis type more their speed?

[patricia92243]

79. Conservatives all share a certain view of the world. It really does not mater who they voted

for - it is the whole package that is the problem.

[displacedtexan]

81. "It's like a black mark."

No, Dumbass. It's not LIKE a black mark. It IS a black mark.

[ReformedGOPer]

82. Oh this made me laugh.

Stick with your own kind rePukes.

[rainin]

83. I needed this laugh today.

I hope they die lonely and celibate. (Sorry, did I say that out loud?)

[Sam McGee]

85. While not every Republican is a Trumper . . .

. . . they all are Republicans. Which is reason enough to dump 'em.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

86. I cannot begin to imagine dating a man

who is an ignorant jerk. Which is what most of them are.

Doesn't believe in global warming? That tells you the guy knows absolutely nothing about science.

Works for a right-wing publication? Means he buys into all sorts of garbage.

Shelf full of books by conservative writers? Forget him. He's incapable of thinking for himself.

For me it's also the same if someone professes fundamentalist religious beliefs. Being a believer is one thing. Going the fundamentalism route is another, and not someone I want to hang with.

[Collimator]

87. Agree With All Those Asking The Question . . .

Of why a Conservative man would want to date a Liberal woman. Afterall, they know that we are all lesbians and feminazis who hate children so much that we grab women off the streets to force them to have abortions.

Interestingly, a while back I read an article--in a RW publication--which proclaimed that Conservative/Republican women were so much better looking than Liberal/Democrat women because--unlike the harpies on the left--Conservative women enjoyed being women rather than desparaging their femininity.

The article was, of course, accompanied with photos of some lovely RW women and not-particularly-glamourous Liberals. Two can play that game though, and I'm sure that someone could cobble together a collection of photos showing matronly RW women juxtaposed with some hot Liberals.

And these whiners should remember that a pleasant-looking, accomplished person with intelligence and grit was dismissed by their head honcho as a "nasty women"--which is now seen as a badge of honor to any woman with ambitions beyond being a breeding vessel.

Final note: One very attractive Republican woman is Bo Derek. She hooked up with her future husband, John Derek, when she was 16 years old and he was married. Hubby made a lot of movies featuring his wife's beautiful body, because Republicans are all about wholesome values.

An article from years ago claimed that Bo Derek's Republican status was why her career never burned so bright in Hollywood. I guess it never occurred to anybody that her abysmal acting might have been the real cause of her stalled career. But, she did look good naked.

Hell, I love men, especially with beards, which makes them even more masculine, but I could see myself "doing" a young Bo Derek!

[barbtries]

88. i don't think i could.

my father was a democrat and my mother was a republican and they were able to work it out. but it's all so tribal now. i'm a liberal, why would i want to get involved with a man who thinks liberal is a dirty word? on the flip side, i don't even get how anyone can be a republican anymore. so, yeah. bad enough that i have to work with and engage in commerce with these people. hell, i haven't even talked to my own brother since the 2016 election. i'm afraid our relationship will suffer a permanent break. it's all very sad, and it's republicans' fault, because they don't care about people, as your post expresses very well.

[Motley13]

91. They've got that right, you don't have to be handsome, but you have to have a brain

[TalenaGor]

92. aww got no pussy to grab? thoughts and prayers comin atcha lol

[Nitram]

94. I thought conservatives didn't want to date liberal women because they have hairy legs and armpits,

and screechy voices. Ha!

[GulfCoast66]

96. Cock-blocked by Trump!!

[AC_Mem]

97. Doesn't matter

"not every republican is a Trumper"

If they support the GOP or believe and/or support the garbage that they represent they are immediately OUT.

What kind of conversations could you have? Why would I want to be with someone who's views are so polar opposite of what I believe to be right and just? I actually give them a chance to try to defend or even explain their beliefs and it always -always comes back to the black hole that is the soul of that party. In my opinion the GOP has been infected with a cancer and is being eaten up.

Nope, not interested AT ALL.

oh, and i've looked around the dating sites just to see who is out there in my area (dating apps are the new happy hour) - they have so many conservatives it is amazing. I would say 80/20 either conservative or "independent".

I want someone who looks FORWARD and wants to heal the things that are wrong in life right now; someone who is positive and passionate about making things better, taking care of our earth, and all the things that matter to me (and to most of us in America - we need to remember that we are the majority!!!)

[RobertDevereaux]

98. Judged and found wanking! n/t

[Demsrule86]

99. I did not date Republicans...met my husband and he hid is true political self...was madly in love by

the time I found out. He was from New York city...so not hardcore...few years being married to me...he converted. I was a good influence. Now he is practically a socialist!

[wryter2000]

168. Same here, sort of

He had voted for Reagan before I met him, but he seemed pretty reasonable. Back then, there were still Republicans you could talk to. As time went by, he became at least as liberal as me. He died a while back, but I still have his Democratic registration card.

These days, if a man called himself a "conservative," I'd be out the door in a flash.

[Demsrule86]

176. I am sorry for your loss. I am sad for you. I would be out the door too...as the GOP

are not 'normal'...that much hatred is not good for anyone's...and the lack of empathy towards others makes them a very bad bet for a relationship.

[wryter2000]

184. Thank you

It was quite a while ago.

I'm sorry he didn't get to vote for Obama. I know that would have made him very happy.

[BamaRefugee]

100. Right wingers have no problem telling people to "date within your race"!

So let them mingle with the opposite sex idiots and leave thoughtful, caring and SUPER HOT folks like us alone!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

104. We hated you CONservatives before dump ever came along.

It’s your values, dudes. They suck.

[RainCaster]

107. That brings a whole new meaning to right wing

Looks like the best option for those fellows is to date their right hand. Only a commie would use the left...

[IronLionZion]

109. Hope Hicks might be interested

[vercetti2021]

112. Reason why most are single and 4chan trolls

They are angry because no self respecting woman wants them and they know that. One of the other reasons they love tRump since he's got a history of paying off playmates and sexual assault.

[onecaliberal]

113. Even if they didnt support dump. Theyre still greedy stupid

Knuckle draggers.

[CCExile]

114. Preventing their reproduction

needs to be one of our top priorities. They obviously have some bad DNA strands.

[vkkv]

116. The problem is simple- Liberal women are smart. Repuke men are too stupid to figure that out...

[pansypoo53219]

118. my brother is a fux/limbo/o'really fan + HATES the moron. my moderate GOP

e-pal voted for hillary. but i have been working on him. showing how unchristian the GOP is.

[wellst0nev0ter]

120. As always, these trumpanzees are lying

We all know that half of white women are trumphumpers, so there will always be idiots willing to date them.

These guys are just not trying hard enough.

[colsohlibgal]

124. I Cannot Do It

Had a date a few years ago with a good looking guy, during the Dubya years. When I found out he was a fan I just could not let it go.

That was my last date with a republican. Only liberals has been my policy since.

[ecstatic]

125. different degrees of deplorable

I'll pass on every degree/level.

[ooky]

127. They made this bed with the dumb stuff they believe, they need to lie in it

alone.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

128. I have a solution for conservative men who can't get laid...

I was going to insert a picture of a Fleshlight in here, but they were all too obscene to post in a family forum.

Conservative users will need to check whether it's an AC/DC model.

[Dave Starsky]

152. Here you go.

[vercetti2021]

129. Most of us prefer guys with teeth.

[Blue_Tires]

130. Fuck 'em... Hell I can't even get dates from liberal women!

[TeamPooka]

131. My 2nd to last 1st date: Dec2007 Halfway thru dinner my date said she would vote for Mike Huckabee

in the primaries.
Without blinking i signaled the waiter "Check please."
She thought I was kidding until I said "yeah, this isn't going to work out..."
I got the heck out there and my next 1st date was love right away with my love and soulmate Robin and we've been together ever since that day.

[SunSeeker]

134. Aaaaaw. I love a happy ending.

[NewJeffCT]

156. something like that would have been a deal killer for me as well

even thinking about voting for Huckabee would have killed it, or Pat Robertson back in 1988 or 1996 or whenever he ran for the GOP nomination.

[Honeycombe8]

132. Well, duh. What's surprising is why THEY want to date liberal women. nt

[gay texan]

179. I have a

Theory about this. I wonder if conservative guys perceive liberal women as weak and they think they can control them?

One thing I've noticed is that conservative men LOVE to control people.

[Honeycombe8]

186. I was thinking they may think of them as easy sexually.

Liberal women are perceived as stronger, I think, since they're likely to be feminist and such. But they're also perceived as "looser," I think. And let's face it, liberals are just more FUN!!!!!

[TwistOneUp]

135. Conservatives complain that liberal women don't want to date them

Go figure.

[Old Crank]

138. Republicans are supposed to.....

Not be taking women out until they want to get married anyway. Plus no sex until marriage. Tell them to live to their beliefs.

[JohnnyRingo]

142. You Had Me At "I'm Not A Republican".

Every woman I know says Trump is a disgusting pig. I tell my buddies that if they see themselves in Trump, that should be some rancid food for thought.


[img][/img]

Want this

[steve2470]

143. When I start dating again...

if a woman admits to voting for Trump, I'm exiting quickly. These women are very smart to shun them.

[Freddie]

147. One of my co-workers

Is a recently divorced guy and fitness enthusiast. Looking to date a fellow fitness-enthusiast woman on dating sites devoted to this interest. He's also a Republican.
He loves to tell us all about his dating adventures. He recently met someone on the site who apparently met all his criteria. Said he had a great time on their first date and couldn't wait to see her again. On the second date she found out he was a Republican and told him she was not interested, thank you.
He was genuinely floored that someone would reject him because of politics. Hello? After he left the room my co-workers all agreed, if we were dating the guy being a Republican would be a complete deal breaker.

[dlk]

155. Why Would Any Self-Respecting Woman Want to Waste her Time on a Sexist?

Given the current GOP agenda, they have become the party of "women are second-class citizens." (Or as a good Dem friend has long said, "the keep 'em pregnant, poor, and grateful party.&quot Most self-respecting women know better and don't care to waste their time on a modern-day neanderthal. Why would they?

[azureblue]

158. IOW

GOP women see them for the losers they are, so they think they can go date some Democratic women. Guess again snowflakes

[The Wizard]

159. What kind of a woman

dates a jerkoff?

[PurgedVoter]

160. Why would a woman volunteer to be a slave to someone incapable of compassion?

The conservative view denies women's rights and wants to reduce the few they have. If a woman wants ownership then a conservative would be fine. If a woman wants a companion, then a conservative is not really an option.

There isn't really a halfway or cooperative stance here. Republicans have moved so far into their rabbit hole that they will only see reason when it might give immediate profit to them.

[Beartracks]

162. The company you keep. n/t

[Orsino]

164. No one should feel obligated to cater to their weirdo lifestyle choices. n/t

[Shoonra]

165. Hunting in the wrong field

These "conservatives" are looking for dates in the DC area. But most desirable women in the DC area have some political savvy and most have jobs either in the government or related to government contracts. Since conservatives have simplistic political notions - mostly guided by 18th century slogans or modern-day tweets, and since they also want to reduce government jobs and contracts, the women quickly identify them as toxic and incompatible.

These conservatives would do much better far from DC, where politics and government-related employment is not a prime concern, also where college-educated men are considered rare and desirable.

[NCTraveler]

166. I can have a damn good night with a conservative dude.

I will not have a second night with one. Though I was tempted once. Really tempted.

No dating conservatives.

[wryter2000]

169. If he kept his mouth shut eom

Eom

[wryter2000]

170. Hyperbolic view of what a conservative is

Wrong, pal. We know exactly what you are. Life is too short to spend with a sexist ahole with no compassion for anyone but himself.

[alarimer]

172. No, they prefer nice guys to selfish conservatives.

If you are a conservative, you are not a "nice guy" by definition. You are selfish, mean and more than I little evil. I hope no one dates these freaks ever and I hope they die sad and alone if they do not come to the realization that they subscribe to a morally bankrupt worldview.

[Iggo]

183. AW, poor babies!

[klook]

185. Wait a minute, ladies! Are you saying

you wouldn't jump at the chance to date this guy??

[crazycatlady]

187. Once the ink on her divorce papers is dry, Bristol Palin is available
