Would you rather date someone with opposing political views or opposing religious views?
Neither. Flat out. I'd rather be single forever.
@pinklotus18 I 3rd it. The hell with making my life miserable just to "have" someone. Blech
That's like making me choose between being punched in the face and kicked in the nuts
I take punched in the face.
Neither would bother me, unless the person I date is trying to convert me. That being said, if a person supports Trump, that is a sign that we are not on the same wave length. A Trump cultist is a lot different than a real Republican, so he is the exception to the rule. Trump is an anti intellect, anti science, infantile, spoiled, ignorant, unstable baby man, and anyone who admires this disgusting mess, would have nothing in common with me, and we would probably end up as enemies.
Don't hold back, WW, tell us what you really think! LOL
A lot of the time, the two things go hand in hand. If we have opposing religious views, it's almost a given that our political outlook will be somewhat different. If I didn't know about the person's politics, I'd give the opposing religious views a chance, cuz I have done that before and sometimes it works out. If both things are out of whack, it's not worth the time.
Neither. I'd try to introduce them to each other and see how that works out.
No views whatsoever if possible...?
If I had to choose, I could deal with opposing religious views more easily. I actually broke up with someone who believed OJ was innocent. I only go so far with the degree if stupid I must deal with. Politics incites heated emotional reactions in people, me. Religion: not so much. (unless inserted in politics)
All religious views would be opposing to someone who doesn’t believe in any kind of god. If it was just a date or two I could cope with it, but a long term relationship I think would be nearly impossible. As far as politics are concerned, yes I think I could live with that as long as we kept off the subject at home.
These days they are the same thing???? I'll pass. I would rather have a root canal ?.
Opposing religious views, no question at all. I'm happy to compromise with a religious person and respect their views if they'll respect mine. I am absolutely not willing to compromise with far right-wingers, and they most certainly won't respect my views so I could not respect theirs even if I didn't find those views abhorrent..
In the past, I have dated both. Politics wasn't really a big deal. Religion wasn't really a big deal. Fast forward to today, and facing the divisions we're all dealing with, religion pales in comparison to the political divide. In conclusion, I'd date someone religious before ever considering dating a Trump supporter. They can go to hell, which does not exist, but y'all get my point.
Neither. Regarding politics, I don't see myself dating a republican. Most are arrogant, stupid, and bigoted. Regarding religion, I'd like the woman I date not to suffer from IFS (imaginary friend syndrome). And I'd also like not to date a woman living in a fantasy world.
I wouldn't date either.
I'm not looking to argue with someone all the time.
Neither. Not going to happen. I have standards.
Thank you. My thoughts exactly
Religious. I can see myself having elevated debate and discussion and a dynamic relationship with a religious man who truly follows the doctrines of Christ to care for the less fortunate and show compassion and forgiveness. They are an increasingly rare bird in American life. I'd rather someone who has my same beliefs, but if I have to choose, that's my choice.
Nope. Been there, done that. Each time religion/politics came up, I wanted to claw their eyes out as I can't stand ignorant idiosity. This led me to understand about that I'm attracted to smart human beings. Someone who supports Trump or looks up to the sky and prays to get that job done instead of getting work done and making progress... Nope - I'm going to bitch slap them.
Religious. I've successfully done that in the past. But political ? - especially now ? After "it" has been in office a while, and we know what he's about ? NO - never happen.
I cannot even conceive of being in a relationship with anyone who supports the current occupant of the White House. I can accept differences of opinion on fiscal policy, foreign relations, and military policy as valid differences of opinion, but I refuse to become involved with someone who supports racism and fascism.
