Nope, you are prudent.

And here I was thinking about starting a Pen-Pal thing
with AOC and you gotta be all Debbie Downer and stuff...
Life is way too short to even consider dating a liberal woman. You are making the right call there. There are plenty of conservative women out there. Just be careful!
Sorry...one other point:
Bear in mind that if you start dating a liberal woman, they’ll start looking like James Carville or Rosie O’Donnell.
You should seek the woman you want and be patient.
“There are plenty of couples out there with loving relationships where the husband and wife have different political views.”
Exactly.
“How hot is she?”
You know, that is a completely valid question to ask.
The fact that you even have to ask that question, you might want to seek counseling.
If a man is right about something then he should be able to persuade his woman, and especially in something as broad as general politics, not in perfect detail but in most general ideas he should be able to explain the thinking, if he can’t, then perhaps she sways him to her thinking.
“What he got was a series of the most screwed up old liberal women the world may ever have seen; one after another, wallowing in unresolved issues from decades back in their lives, unhappy, and wary of males to boot.”
a real life scenario scary enough to make me shudder ... which immediately gave me an idea for a very scary TV episode, if such are still allowed to be made, namely, a depiction of what you describe made up of a series of vignettes of such “dates” with such women by some naive guy ...
In my 20s I didn’t think it was important (religion and politics) but later I have seen so many heartbreaks and especially financial disasters for men that I now believe a man should stand his ground and refuse to have anything serious to do with a leftist or woke female.
Judges still usually ignore the “equality” of women in a divorce and give the woman sitting in court with the tears dabbed at by their lace hankies all the loot she wants. Just a woman, you know.
My personal case is I believe in the saying “wait for the one God has specially picked out for you.” Love at first sight and love that lasted from 1973 to the day my precious wife Joy died unexpectedly in 2022.
“Just pick a woman you don’t know and give her half of your stuff. “
or a house ... i have a friend who said that every time he got married, he figured he eventually was going to have to give away another house ...
go to a southern Baptist church, the ladies will have you fixed up in no time.
Back when I was still in the the so called dating game, I had a filter that would flawlessly take out the trash. For a second date, I would propose an afternoon at the range. The reaction would tell me all I needed to know.
I once was discussing the divorce rate with someone and she said the common phrase “50% of marriages now end in divorce” was actually an overall number. She said “for your age (70s) that was true but for my age (30 or so) it is 75%.”
75%.
So have the outcome in mind at the outset.

Alas, Southern Baptists are not what they used to be...
I was married for nearly 37 years. My ex developed a raging case of TDS along with a multitude of other issues. Life is too short to be saddled with someone that is going to parrot liberal talking points every evening when you get home from work. She couldn’t even agree to disagree. It’s a mental disability.
I’ve been alone for 6 years now and over the last 2 years I’ve tried several dating sites including Match. Almost all provide ample opportunity to provide information necessary to determine a potential partner’s worldview. Even if they don’t, just ask. Liberals are incapable of not virtue signaling where they stand on the issues.
Lastly, having been out of the dating scene for 4 decades, I wasn’t ready for what I experienced. I did make some friends, but overall, the effort was a waste of time and money. Beware of the “too good to be true”. They’re scammers. I’ve been off all of it for nearly 8 months now. At this point, I’ll trust God to provide if it’s supposed to happen.
A crusading liberal woman would be fingernails on a chalk board.
Someone who has moderate views and is not a crusader would be a different story .
Sounds like a common-sense position to take to protect any future happiness in life...
I met my husband at a party. We discussed politics occasionally while dating, disagreed and agreed about candidates. It was never a huge issue.
But that was a long time ago. In today’s world, I think you would be better off seeking someone who shared your political views. Marriage works better without arguments.
