    A friend of mine went on a date Sunday night. For some reason they started talking politics. This bitch ass cry baby mommas boy walks OUT on the date, WITHOUT paying for his drinks/food. Luckily my friend only had to pay for her stuff. I’ll give you one guess what his political leanings were. These maga morons got no balls

      For your own safety you should really ask about their political ideology before meeting them. Make sure to not let them fool you either, never tell them yours first.

        Wait, that’s dumb. If all “good” people refused to tell their political leanings, and you’re not going to meet someone who will not disclose it, you’re kinda’ just setting up a lonely life with those assinine rules…

            That’s a much different take than, “don’t tell people your leanings and don’t accept others that won’t tell you theirs”.

                One is actively requesting avoidance and the other merely suggesting ulterior paths. It’s the difference between someone saying, “punch that fuck in the face!” and, “words will do you no good with this one”.

                  I am entirely lost.

                  Sahara is saying not to date republicans, and not to let them trick you. I’m saying the same thing.

                  If you meet someone who, presumably like you, absolutely will not say anything until you do, then the both of you should write it down on a card and reveal them at the same time.

                  Or, you should say something about building a border wall. See if they bite.

                  Or, you should take them to see the Barbie movie. See if they shift in their chair too much.

                  Like, there are solutions to this problem, and I feel like you’re just not willing to see them.

                  As a corollary, imagine you’re gay in the 1960s. You can’t tell anyone you’re gay because you’ll get beaten in an alley. But, you would still like to find other gay people. How would you do this?

                    I am not dismissing the solutions. I am arguing against the original phrasing of the suggestion. If you rephrase it to mean something that wasn’t originally said, then of course you won’t understand the implications of the much more poorly stated version…

                    For your own safety you should really ask about their political ideology before meeting them. Make sure to not let them fool you either, never tell them yours first.

                    Ask them before meeting (so your suggestion of writing on cards is totally irrelevant), but don’t tell them yours… If all good people followed that advice, then no good people will tell others their leanings first, and since no one is telling their leanings, no one would agree to meet.

                    It’s right there, in two fucking sentences. How is this so difficult to understand?

        Man you’d think. Some ppl just use politics to hide shitty behavior. Polis don’t mean shit. See how friendly and helpful they are to strangers. Ppl thank can’t offer anything.

          It’s not the end-all-be-all for filtering out assholes, but nobody was suggesting it was. Most of the remaining filters are done before or during dates
