My daughters have gifted me a six month subscription for a popular dating site for Father's Day.
My wife of 39 years (their mother) died over two years ago and I went through successful cancer treatment last year and in now in remission. I mentioned to my daughters that I might be open to meeting someone now given that the numerical odds are in my favor and my sweet wife waiting in heaven would want me to be happy for the next twenty years or so of my life.
They are also going to introduce me to some of their contacts who might be open to a pity date. Of course (being good daughters) they asked if I would consider anyone outside my race, religion, etc. I told them that the one and only turn-off would be liberals.
My life's experience is that it is generally easier to get someone to change one's religion, cultural outlook or almost anything other than extreme political views. Liberals come with an entitlement mentality. At best, they would be a waste of time and dinner money. At worst, they would have divorce rape on their minds . . . pretend to love you in order to steal half of what you have worked a lifetime to earn.
I am realistic enough to understand that finding someone like my late wife would be impossible. She was kind, caring, conservative and had a big heart. I loved her dearly and deeply. We raised three highly successful children who have blessed us with wonderful grandchildren. But I would far rather spend the rest of my life alone than get romantically involved with a liberal leftist lunatic with divorce rape on her mind.

Mean? Unkind? No. Judgmental? Maybe.
Here’s the thing: Any liberal woman who’d have you would have to be willing to put up with a conservative man. That means her liberalism either isn’t so extreme or isn’t so central to her identity.... unless she’s after you for your a little personal income redistribution.
Depends on whether you are looking for companionship (avoid liberals) or just something physical (better luck with liberals, but as we said back in college - better keep a syringe of penicillin handy).
I have a 75 year old friend who has an ultra-liberal wife. He is contemplating divorce at this time. She is, indeed, difficult.
Met wifey on POF over ten years ago. After FOUR failed marriages to liberal women that (I thought) were my type and the years of accusations that I was the problem because of my “mistaken” conservative beliefs, we’ve had no problems because I WASN’T THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH! conservative minded women accept that it takes two to either break a marriage or fix one. Liberal women will only and ALWAYS blame the man. ALWAYS! sure wish I’d have met her first. Would have saved doubts, heartache, disillusionment and LOTZ of cash. Signed: men live longer with a good wife and that will never be a liberal women.
If you smoke, use drugs, drink excessively, are a Democrat/leftist/socialist/communist, and you’re not a Protestant you will never make it past the first date with me.
That is disgusting.
Conservative women are the most beautiful because they care about their looks.
No, it isn’t. 😄
Enjoy life, family and friends. If you meet a woman compatible with your values, life is so much better. My friend has met more than a dozen women own various doing sights. The women were not who they said they were.
I told them if Hitler was a Democrat they would vote for him. My wife’s family is Jewish and I’m a Jew. They didn’t talk to me for ten years.
Say it again.... another 10 years of peace!
That does not even work anymore, not even in the same denomination. My denomination is Wesleyan/Nazarene. People in those groups are very (too) sympathetic to illegals. Some, although they were defrocked, are LGBTQ affirming.
You almost need to hand out a survey before dating.
No, why would you want to spend your life with a mentally ill harpy?
The heifer will think she can change you.
You will comply to keep peace or be miserable.
Save yourself and half of what you own and do a hard pass.
It will save you your sanity and your retirement.
Don’t know how these sites work but one meeting and a few honest questions will answer your concerns. It took me 20 years to turn my wife but she ended up scheduling her morning to listen to Rush.
A man with no peace in the house is indeed, in hell ...
Thats the way to do it, tell them what you are like and what you are looking for. Be specific.
A lady with a match maker service told a friend when he made a video (this was the 90s) STOP you can’t say those things you won’t get much response, he said I don’t want a lot of replies, I want 3 or 4 that are a fit.
It worked, after 2 failed marriages he remarried until death did them part almost 20 years later.
Sane is the answer. Liberal women are insane. Date conservative women. Conservatives women don’t have a penis.
Yep. Best way to meet a nice woman is to stop looking.
Absolutely not. I don’t even want to have a conversation with them, let alone marrying one. It is basically suicidal.
That would be a good thing to look for.
