This is being interpreted way too much. people will say their looking for something or x is a dealbreaker in the abstract but most of the time once you actually start dating those things change especially if you find someone you like. | ||

The one word answer to this whole thing is abortion, and probably what makes up a large part of what pushes conservative partners from tolerable to not. You'd see just as many conservative men saying they didn't want to date liberal women if a widely accepted liberal position was that at any time when sex could come into the picture they could force the man to get a vasectomy. That on top of women being able to be more selective in their partners as a fact of life... it's like stepping on a landmine and then complaining that you can't win a race. | ||

Pretty sure there's a stereo-type about white men seeking out Asian women for this specific purpose. Considering where I'm at, I suspect there's others that could speak more to that. But it makes sense that those women would be interested in dating men that would be deemed by society to be submissive. Remember, this country elected a guy who said he grabs women by the pussy. A guy accosting a group to a decision is authoritative and get things done, a girl doing that same thing is a bitch. Gotta check those micro-agressions, bro.  Society is funny like that. | ||

The Washington Post already filed a story in protest. https://twitter.com/pegobry/status/910232790922342400 I've seen his perspective validated in my own observations as well. The media likes talking about filters on news, and here's what should be the "ultimate filter" of sorts. But read the article first if you want to really understand his logic and debate the topic. What nonsense. And it stems from the male chauvinist way the question is phrased, at least in this tweet. Looking at pro-choice vs pro-life views: a pro-life person is against even discussing whether an abortion is an option if the girl gets pregnant against their will. Whether this is the boy, or the girl who is pro-life. As a pro-choice guy who doesn't really want kids at all, I'd be careful to not date pro-life girls (or more reasonably: I am super paranoid about properly using contraceptives). So the cookie crumbles both ways. It's not girls refusing to date guys: it's people refusing to date other people, based on their different world views. Which seems entirely reasonable. | ||

It makes plenty of sense for superlibs to avoid dating supercons. It's okay to look at each other at the beginning of a relationship, see features or views that are fundamentally incompatible, and decide to call it off because the differences would be too hard to work through. The problem is that there's a fine line between not dating someone because you're pretty sure you wouldn't be happy with them, and not dating someone because you view them as a monster or an idiot. It's reasonable for libs to not date cons. What's problematic is when libs won't even be friends with cons, and vice-versa. Since when do people use OkCupid or Tinder to find friends? This was some spin about how conservatives being "discriminated against" in the dating world led to them voting for Trump. Not how they can't make friends, for which I'd say [citation needed], because neither the Federalist article nor the WaPo response mention friendship anywhere. | ||

Since when do people use OkCupid or Tinder to find friends? There's this one guy I heard about who put something along the lines of "Just a dope dude, looking to do some dope stuff." ...but I think it was one of the regular dating sites, rather than tinder- it's foggy in my head now. But I respect that dope dude who only wanted to do some dope stuff. | ||
