Left-wing women are often attracted to right-wing men, but the reverse is basically unknown.

Because most left-wing men are limp-wristed flamers.

What woman, regardless of her political beliefs, is going to be attracted to someone who's lazy, won't work, can't defend her, can't fix anything, doesn't know jack about cars, guns, or machinery, and who spends his time reading Chomsky instead of Reagan?

I could not be married to a liberal....too much of a values clash.

In college, I dated a liberal woman. She was even a "Womens Studies" major...fit the bill to a T.

In a casual conversation about marriage, she mentioned how she'd never be able to take the last name of the man that she marries. Said that she'd "lose her identity", and that she'd never, ever do it.

I dumped her the next day.

eharmony.com is much better. Been dating a lady for the last 2.5 months and we have much in common.

It IS nice to have that in common. I met my husband online and we just celebrated our 7th anniversary. We would never pass this new questionnaire that pairs up couples. We have a happy marriage, but we do squabble about politics and religion. I would prefer to agree on these issues. Yet, we are both happy and we've had to do a lot of learning about respecting others--not an easy lesson sometimes! And the really good news--he's getting more conservative. He's probably going to vote for Pres. Bush and he's getting to like Fox News. So there's hope!

Get out!

Mrs IOTN and I met the same way, and just celebrated our 5th year together!
