Thank you and happy chatting!
straight up if I ever start dating again I'm frontloading the politics conversations to the first month. I can't do this. Sorry comrade
I was starting to date again after about 14 years of relationships, and did this. Like, in the first few conversations, "hey I'm a radical communist hope thats cool." Got lucky and am now with someone who both mostly agrees with me, and loves how passionate I am.
Good luck out there!
for me its more like 5 years of no relationships
a couple hookups (only one comrade and I think I bungled it but he was nice about it)
I'm straight up just not in a position to date because my life is a shambles and I'm working on transing my gender some sort of way, but I want to date in theory, so I'm sure it'll happen eventually
Other problem is I've gotten rid of my smartphone so no dating apps :( They all suck but at least there was grindr, or tinder if I was feeling like getting disappointed. Now I'd have to, idk, make connections via organizing or meet randos at the bar/through the grapevine?
Hahah I can relate to the in shambles part. Keep going at it. I'm still miserable lol those apps suck anyway
all is not lost, you can use websites like bumble.com and hexbear.net
I have that shit in bios lol. Only match with other leftists (and less bots)
sorry y'all, I just wanted to have a buzzed rant and this section seemed less serious. if there is a rant section I would post it there instead lol
Yer all good homie, enjoy the buzz!
Hard to enjoy haha
She's easily one of the most intelligent people you would ever meet. Spent years as a public defender, then went to medical school to become a doc.
Nothing about intelligence, but conservatives tend to have more parental resources for education and thus advanced degrees. I used to be attracted to the women with the biggest, most posh education and I fell into this problem in my dating days. Given that's she's a doctor AND a lawyer, there's no way parents didn't help out with uni fees and likely much more.
A public defender at that lol. I donβt know how well paid Argentine lawyers are, but in the US youβll be lucky to catch a couple hours sleep and some groceries after a paycheck
Intelligence != education
Only becomes more clear the more educated you are.
For people not paying attention, educational achievement can be an easy marker for intelligence. But of course you're right.
that fuckin sucks shit comrade, f in the chat, sorry 
maybe...you can fix her?
(sorry this happened to you)
You hate to see it, folks...
Shit sucks, I can commiserate. Last long term relationship I had was with a Tesla engineer that was a Hillary voter & The West Wing fan. Recently I almost considered moving across the country (to Bushwick lmao) for a Bernie volunteer that I began dating shortly before Oct 7 who turned out to be a radlib-y zionist with a temper. That person works as an economist for water, health, & sanitation NGOs and no longer considers themselves on the left.
Our arguments got more and more frequent, with them going so far as to say the Nazis were actually socialist and that a secular 1 state solution would result in Palestinians outbreeding Jewish israelis & upset "israeli democracy". She doesn't want to talk since I dumped her for the above reasons, which tbf, did happen shortly after her dad died, but she was trying to force the issue of me moving in with her just 8 months into the relationship and I didn't have a job lined up.
I feel like there's some lib talking this way about me but lamenting I'm a communist
Oh I fully expect that she's dragging me too in kind
Most women I talk to are peronists, which is worse than US lib IMO.
worse than US lib
something worse than US libs?! H-h-how is this possible...?
look up peronism lmao
That sucks, I can fix her though. I'm built different
if you can fix in video games, you can fix in real life, of course
