We are living in strange times.

Wow! Some very passionate responses here. It is incredible how politics have permeated every aspect of our lives. I have found it fascinating that people on dating sites profess their political leanings. While some strong held beliefs are red or green flags I do try to see beyond the lady's stated beliefs. Someone with different political affiliation than mine is not necessarily a deal breaker as I find that they don't always behave in the manner one would expect. For example a lady with Socialist leanings may just as likely be very conservative in her actions. A Conservative may well give to every cause.

At this point I am more interested in ladies who do not express great passion about politics or social issues. I will not date a woman with a Social Media account or one who attends rallies etc.... It is much more challenging but I try to observe how she behaves. If she is has Socialist leanings does she lead by example or does she expect that person over there to lead. Is she willing to live less comfortably so that others can be marginally better off...... If she is Conservative does she practice what she preaches. Both are extremely rare qualities.

What I have found to be the most unlikely quality is the woman who is in touch with human adaptation and accepting of the strengths and weaknesses of both sexes of our species. It isn't necessarily popular but there are some absolute truths that one will never overcome.
