Single sucks...

[Blank123]

I think a liberal-conservative relationship CAN work, it just depends on the people. I know a lot of people who are actually very conservative, but they have absolutely no issues fellowshipping and maintaining relationships with people who are liberal and hold different beliefs. We all have our different beliefs, its just a matter of not taking opposing opinions personally, and not shoving our own beliefs down others throats because we're "right" and they are "wrong". This goes for both, very conservative types and very liberal types.

yup.. my ex was politically much more conservative than I am. we would discuss it and debate it quite abit, but it was never an issue in our relationship. if nothing else, it gave us more to talk about.

I just couldn't ever date someone who was militant about their political views or held them on the same level as Scripture, regardless of whether they were liberal or conservative.

I don't think they are necessarily pointless labels. Maybe to some here, but to others it is a key indicator of values and interests. Those things matter in a mate. I do agree that conservative and liberal people can make it work, but I think it's also certainly understandable to want to be with somone who shares the same worldview (for lack of a better word) as you do...which for some is indicated by those labels.

I think only ideologues bring it to that axiomatic level. I myself don't care about labels.. I take issues one at a time.

I think some are confusing politics with a general worldview. I'm not just talking about who someone votes for. There are issues that go beyond politics with those labels. I'm a recycling, public transportation taking, feminist*, who admires what some see as a crunchy life style. My very lifestyle could very easily come in conflict with that of a conservative. Maybe I've met the wrong type of conservatives, but we'd fight over things that have nothing to do with voting.

But I wasn't trying to derail this thread, just pointing out that the OP may have valid reasons for pointing out that he was a liberal and the impact that might have on finding someone here.

*just examples, I'm aware some conservatives may be pro-environment (and recycle and buy products with the environment in mind), support public transportation (though I haven't met any), and are feminists (again, haven't met any). There are other examples I could have used as well.

Why are conservatives against public transportation? I've never heard that before.

Being single sucks, but being in a relationship and having to try to relate to another person is worse, so I'll just go with the lesser of the two evils.

Well, my room-mates in a relationship, and so far everything seems to be just peachy for him.

He just got really lucky, then.

He just got really lucky, then.

Twice. No, three times.

Fall semester he had a, friend, and a GF.
Then, when his friend went back to her country, and his GF to hers, he got a new GF just a few months later.

That and then like, more than half his friends are girls.

Me on the other hand. I've only had a few girls as friends in my life. Most the friends I make are all guys. So I guess I'm like a total opposite.

People say if I want a GF, I should talk to girls more, but like I hardly even know any.

 

[leothelioness]

Twice. No, three times.

Oh, gosh, that's like a slap to the face, isn't it?

 

[broken_one]

I kinda want to steal a friend's gf. Her and I "click" really well together, and she already knows all the stupid things I do like drink tea and read before bed (routines!). And yes, I'd like to sleep with her.

But that's terrible, right? Totes (lol @ verbiage) against the commandments....so I plod on through women with no personalities, no looks, a combination of neither or little scraps of both which amount to nothing.

Tonight is kinda depressing.

 

[Rhye]

Oh, dear.

 

[broken_one]

^Nobody is perfect. If you honestly haven't had a thought like that come across your mind at least once in your life, you're lying.

Sound terrible, I know. But this is the internet, so I can be a bit more honest than in real life. Real life has sucked for quite some time, lol.

 

[Rhye]

No. I haven't.

And you have every right to be honest, and speak your mind.

 

[smacky ramone]

It sucks less than divorce court. I don't know why people get married in the first place.

 

[127.0.0.1]

Duno if I was ever jealous of another friends GF. I say, duno, cus...she was like...the more I think about it, even though me and her were friends, she definitely wasn't for me.

If fact...even more depressing, I don't think I've met a girl yet that was for me. Which kinda makes me wonder if she's out there.

I seem to want a type of woman that doesn't exist. :\

 

[broken_one]

It's the #1 fantasy in the world is to sleep with the spouse or partner of a best friend or sibling.....something like 70something percent of those polled by Maxim Magazine said that the thought had at one point come across their mind.

So mathematically, I could almost be certain. And I'm always honest. Always generally.

polled by Maxim Magazine

The demographic somewhat speaks for itself.

Well, I doubt if they asked the Amish, who would respond? Do you think a Christian would admit that to someone else, instead of just keeping the shame that their life is in shambles and they'd like another one? Because these fantasies are never about the women, they're always about where the other person is and how happy they are, etc. That's what happens. And women are dumb and get talked into the sack far too easily for my tastes, take it from a man who's been cheated on multiple times by "Christian women".

The only other place that this sort of poll could be done is with Catholic Confessors, and they're under law unable to say things like that to anyone.

I pray one day you meet a woman who loves you endlessly, and is the person you want to spend the rest of you life with so that you can stop talking about women this way.
