Interviewing Six Conservative Female Bloggers On Dating and the Differences Between Liberal and Conservative Men

Well I know you know and all but that could practically be a mad lib if you took out the 'liberals' and proper nouns.

oh god, that whole article could be one giant april fool's joke.

Have you dated liberals before? If so, any difference you can tell between liberal and conservative guys?

...My experience with liberals is that superficially, they may be more fun to be around. They're a bit looser and more relaxed. They make an effort to be more sensitive, but the sensitivity only goes so far. It's easy for a man to keep this illusion of being a great, sensitive romantic if he knows he's just going to sleep with you and then say good-bye. Anybody can be Mr. Love God for one night or one week or one month.

When I became conservative, which coincided with my becoming a Christian, I realized that even though there were things I liked sentimentally about liberal men, I wanted somebody who shared my values. Conservatives might not always be so easy to get along with at first, but I thought it was worth my time to get to know men who were compatible with me and would eventually warm up.

xp 'Becoming a conservative coincided with my conversion to christianity' NO YOU DON'T SAY.

Also that one who tries to convert all her liberal boyfriends to conservatism. How do you do that? Show them pictures of muslims and scream TERRORIST until they cry? wtf

sentiment vs. values

xpost - that was my favorite too. So much to read between the lines.

Okay, if you put aside the douchebaggery about 'stupid lib'ruls' - how many of us godless leftists at ILX feel real comfortable being in relationships with right-wing religious people?

For real, milo!

When I was a...liberal...religious person and my first boyfriend was a godless...Goldwater-type Idahoan, that relationship was one world of hurt. I don't think there could be a bigger rift in a relationship than highly incompatible belief systems!

Like I'd marry a conservative.

Considering the contempt these women show for liberals, I'm not sure why a self-respecting liberal man would date them. Which would suggest something about the liberal men that did.

Drunk.

SEXY PHOTOE

Definitely. Probably arse-ugly and desperate.

oh I meant the guys

c on conservatitties

uggz in the face but b+ rack

Again, this shit strikes me as tribal more than anything. Very similar to how certain folks use the term "Christian" to (self) identify one particular tribal/branding identity, rather than any sort of ideological or theoloigical reasons.

Big HOOS aka the weddinglurker

Never gets old!

said girl is now dropped out of school, married with two kids (and one more on the way), and "i'd really like to homeschool them, if my husband allows it. but the decision is his."

abbott/milo otm in general but also in general id hit 'em all cept this one

http://www.rightwingnews.com/graphics/date2.jpg

somethins seriously wrong w/ that girl.

lol sry to get all ex-gfs4u guys

I don't think liberals would necessarily chalk up not wanting to date a conservative christian to them being stupid though, right? I mean for me it comes down to them being morally opposed to half the things my friends do and not putting out before marriage.

i had a major crush on a conservative christian girl who was a friend of mine freshman year. But the more conservative christian-type stuff she said, the more my crush diminished.

I wouldn't call her stupid, but she clearly had a profound need for a simple and well-explained universe.

deeznuts: yes there is, she's a conservative

My most painful ex turned into a Randroid sometime in the last five years. Flame extinguished.

ewwwwwww!

Have you dated liberals before? If so, any difference you can tell between liberal and conservative guys?

Absolutely. It's kind of like night and day. I have always had a policy of not dating liberals, but once, after a bad break-up, I dated a couple of liberal guys...

First of all, they don't have the same values and I find that to be a fundamental problem. I know a lot of people are willing to accept that, but I'm not. Their whole world view is different from someone who has conservative values and traditional values as a way of life.

Being focused on yourself, and your rights, and materialism, and no ultimate sense of morality -- because I guess when you believe in a more secular way of life, a more liberal viewpoint, it's all about what you can do for yourself and how you can be happy...and you don't have any belief in absolute truth or religious principles to guide how you live. You get guys who are selfish and into themselves and don't care so much about humanity, other people, or me -- that just leads to a lot of problems. I also have a problem with guys who are into things like getting completely trashed and doing drugs...

I agree: Cassy is hot looking.
Actually, all our gorgeous, which is typical of conservative women.
And, judging by what I read, they have the better brains between them and liberals -- but that goes without saying!

how do people like this get through life?

It sounds like they have less crushing despondency and consuming malaise than some others.

I was just going to say "mostly guilt-free."

Guys, this is a cry for help. Some single treehugger in her metro area go on a few dates with her and be nice.

lol, liberal men are easier to be around, more sensitive, more fun and better in bed but I can't keep them so conservative men are better

lolservatives

these girls run the gamut from plain to asscrack ugly

'Why are good liberal guys so hard to keep? We asked six tories who look like apes'

jesus christ how do you do that shit

thought maybe the chick with the big titties would be some kind of south park libertarian type but no its all pro-life pro-war fundie batshittery

Next week: six gay conservatives on one night stands and the taste of liberal spunk

I Fucked Ann Coulter In the Ass, Hard.

Just curious but has anyone on this board met a Christian with a liberal worldview ?

I know a couple of them.

Yeah, actually, most of the Christians I know have a very liberal worldview, and when their pastors preach the "believe or be condemned" business, believe in their hearts that, "y'know what? God's love is infinite! Everyone's saved. Fucking relax."

My experience seems pretty strange, though, YMMV, etc.

My old boss was a white evangelical christian who had gone to christian college, served as a missionary in haiti and claimed the closest thing to his view was Liberation Theology

xp strange? i've never met anyone who's never met a christian liberal. if you count "not Conservative" as liberal i'd say 75% of the christians i've ever met fit the bill.

i swear the ilx echo chamber produces nearly as many breathless stereotypes as any 'fundie' enclave sometimes

My father is a Christian theologian who has by many people's measurement a liberal worldview. Also, he's not fond of conservatives or liberals who are either unaware or wish to be unaware that such people do exist. Not that these women are representative of that, but intelligent Christians with an informed critical existence are out there. Just sayin.

uh except there's a difference between the active anti-liberalism of right fundamentalism and the apolitical "not conservative" christian. just as there's a difference between the actively "liberal" (liberation theology social justice type) christian and the apolitical "not conservative" christian.

ie counting "not conservative" as "liberal" is nonsensical

"except there's a difference between the active anti-liberalism of right fundamentalism and the apolitical "not conservative" christian. just as there's a difference between the actively "liberal" (liberation theology social justice type) christian and the apolitical "not conservative" christian."

This is correct.

xp oh sure, s'why i didn't want to put too fine a point on it from an activist/influence standpoint but rightwing philosophical hegemony over (American) christendom is weirdly, wildly overstated here.

that's all good but when the word 'christian' conjures up 'conservative' I think there's a disconnect and it's not really on my end unless you read the papers too much.

it's on the end of people who read the papers too much

Jesus was a gay, black, hippy jew.

Oh, let's not mess around with the unverifiable. Jesus was a black Jew. Surely that's enough.

I don't think anyone here is equating christianity with conservatism. It's not a surprise when a tory claims to be christian, but the reverse can not be assumed.

Oh, let's not mess around with the unverifiable. Jesus was a black Jew. Surely that's enough.

If it's in a folk song it's at least as true as if it's in the Bible.

Haha ugly ass bitches

Oh my goodness. I worked with a guy (laughs) when I lived in California who still lived with his mother, was a super nerdy, a class revenge of the nerds guy...like an editorial assistant or something like that.

I don't stand a chance. :(

There are tons of these in Berkeley, and also in Scandinavia.

also in the bible, and all over the world

yeah seriously, check every religion thread we've had for 4+ years.

tremendoid otm throughout

Another turn-off with liberal guys, at least for me, tends to be 2nd Amendment stuff.

this bitch soundz kinkay

Robert Ashley's "Purposeful Lady..." to thread, knowwhutimsayin?

A couple of the women are attractive looking to me, the one at the top especially, they all seem like very boring people, though. I imagine conversation with them would be pretty one dimensional, and that they'd always be trying to put anything you were talking about with them within a right/left oppositional framework. YAWN.

I'm sure there are plenty of conservative people who are OK, decent people in their daily lives, people who you could talk about all kinds of shit with w/o them ranting about how hillary is a crook, or how obama behaved inapproprately when they played the nat.anthem or whatever. Bullshit political blogs like this never interview "normal" people though, do they, they always cover fucked up whiny one-track-mind nutjobs:

"....So, I interviewed some of my conservative female friends who blog...."

Sez it all, doesn't it.

I liked this guy's response (no idea who he is, I just clicked on the link at the bottom of the page):

Sorry guys, When I ask a woman out. I don’t check her political credentials. In fact, if I took someone out and she started yapping about Politics, Liberal or Conservative, I would end the date on the spot and take her home.

When I’m taking someone out, I’m not taking her out to have a stinking political debate, I’m taking her out to show her a good time and find out what kind of a person she is.

I guess I must be a bit jaded, but it looks to me, like this post was a rather lame attempt to “pimp out” the females within the Conservative Community. Quite frankly, I found it tacky and quite lame.

Stick to reporting politics guys and quit whoring out your women.

Update: Another point, It seemed that this entry was more or less an attempt to slam Liberals, which is about what the Conservatives are good for nowadays, God knows, they can’t run the country worth a crap. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. being a perfect example.

I wouldn't call her stupid, but she clearly had a profound need for a simple and well-explained universe.

Thank you, I have a new stock euphemism which sets me up for life!

None of these people should ever be given sharp things to play with, unless you're feeling evil.

Some of them seem like...the opposite of feminists? Manists? "Women think all men are mean! But they're not!"

I call them Female Misogynists.

Is this really what most conservative bloggers believe in????

Oi you.

That's a handy diagram. I've had difficulty explaining how all that works to foriegn types in the past.

xp, Also, Episcopal Church

Wait, what are conservatives doing blogging? I thought they were scared of technology.

OH THANKS DAN HILARIOUS

I was pressing cntrl P as soon as I saw it! My kids can take it to school.

Dr Melissa Cloutier (who seems to be trying to steal Ann Coulters name bit by bit) frightens me slightly.

The secular future will be a nihilistic, narcissistic place where all ideas are created equal and there is no abnormal. Behavior isn't deviant, it's individualistic. Essentially, the future will be like Germany is today, and the rest of Europe for that matter. Devoid of meaning because everything has meaning. Devoid of virtue because virtue exists in whatever you wish for it to exist in.

The rest of Europe yesterday...

Oh great. These folks loves them some good old fashioned paranoia porn.

Essentially, the future will be like Germany is today, and the rest of Europe for that matter.

I'm curious as to what exactly is wrong with Germany and the "rest of Europe", beyond this:

Devoid of meaning because everything has meaning. Devoid of virtue because virtue exists in whatever you wish for it to exist in.

...which is a bunch of words signifying nothing.

LOL @ her getting all aggravated because in her weird little world, everyone outside of the swivel-eyed green ink blogger enclave thinks it's OK to be a furry! WTF.

..I mean, this worldview is exactly like a bonkers religious cult! Everything is from the inside, looking out, and everyone who isn't an insider is "other" in some way, and to be PH34R_D. They're like the moonies or heaven's gate or something.

Fuckin' idiots.

Everything is from the inside, looking out, and everyone who isn't an insider is "other" in some way, and to be PH34R_D.

Yep. The light will be as darkness to you unless you have faith, and if your faith isn't strong enough you won't feel the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Whereas if you're drinking the kool-aid, anything is possible!

the future will be like Germany is today

Far out! 3x the holiday time, beer everywhere, better health care. sign me up!

Exactly! It's the same as when some useless britishes tabloid slags off the germans, or a relative sends me some idiotic "humourous" round robin email about German (or France, or wherever) - who the fuck are we, and how are we so great that it's cool to diss them?

Pashmina otm. To these people it's all us and them. The papers they read constantly complain about people who are not like them. They don't try to understand shit, they just whinge about everyone who's not like them. And some of them have the sheer audacity to claim they're intelligent.
