I intentionally bring up politics before I ever meet them in person. Not in a confrontational way. Just ask. From my experience, guys who profess being "apolitical" are either a) lying in hopes of hid…
POC solidarity as an Asian — Firstly I would not like for this post to derail into other non-Asian POC hate, and I know this is not ALL non-Asian POCs being this way. I know this bc my own non-Asian POC (Black, Indigenous Blak, P…
Yeah, I definitely think nonpolitical or apolitical reads poorly. Best case scenario, if they're being honest, that means someone is uninformed and disengaged from current events. That's a turn off fo…
One tip: apolitical, moderate, or no politics section filled out = conservative and hoping you don’t care
first time going on a date with someone with ‘moderate’ politics. really deaddove.jpg-ed myself because the conversation was desperately apolitical. the disconnect was fascinating. wym there’s no gend…
Being attracted to each other doesnt mean you are compatible or a good match. The specifics do matter at the end of the day. In my case I'm not gonna date moderate/apolitical/republicans. We just ar…
These days, a lot of people assume moderate = closet conservative and apolitical = apathetic to the problems of the world. So I think many de facto moderates have started labeling themselves as liber…
Thank you for the advice and compliment, it is very much appreciated. I thought I put down I dont have children. Ill go look into that. The politics thing is tough for me because even though I like to…
For politics I'd recommend putting whatever is closest to what you'll tell someone when they inevitably ask. If you'll start by explaining you're very apolitical, then put not political. That way you'…
I put down moderate after a lot of thought and looking it up. I am very apolitical but still lean towards it, and pay attention to whats going on more than most people.
I'm an academic 😂 Left leaning, avoid with all my heart right wing and apoliticals. Feel free to send your profile if you want some help, I would actually love some mutual help with mine too. Because…
I'm in the same boat, at the end of dating apps and I have the same filters, someone arou d my age, no kids or at least no young kids, that doesn't want any kids, and same political values. I've dated…
No, not at all I really dont care. I know I would align better with a liberal or moderate than a conservative, but it really does not matter to me. I was told last time when I had nothing up that I w…
I am not 100% what I am. Probably more green and grassroots oriented if anything, but they never have that as an option. I am apolitical, but know more about politics than the average individual in th…
They are conservative, liberal, moderate, apolitical on all dating apps sadly as a fellow leftist And its a deal breaker for them not to be the left most option for me I only want to date folks who a…
The other part is (just from my personal statistics as I’ve counted) in my area there are only about 3 men that will select Liberal for their profile for every 100 that select Conservative, Moderate, …
On your first bullet, I (M) would go as far (and I did on the apps) to consider “apolitical” as sus. MAGA is a plague, but I understand the concept of falling for sleazy pedo conmen for safety reasons…
I even have issues trying to find women who say they are apolitical as a male looking for potential partners. I almost feel those that actively try to keep themselves from news/opinions/etc are as b…
If you are unsure of what moderate or apolitical may mean for someone their stated religious preference may shed some light.
Strong clue: “Moderate or apolitical” usually means “conservative but I’m not willing to admit it” in my experience.
This probably will not be well received by many, but bear with me… you automatically remove half of your choices due to your political preferences, which is absolutely fine if this is important to you…
Same to you. The dating pool is so different from when I was in my 20s. Everyone is a moderate or apolitical, has kids or looking for their soulmate. Which, is fine it’s just I’m a liberal, child fr…
I find this so true as well. I have liberal on my profile but have so many conservative men like me To be fair, I’m in Oklahoma, so the majority are conservative. I have noticed a lot of men are …
I think the last three paragraphs here are particularly interesting. From a personal/ individual point of view I would absolutley agree that 'simply' being a good example (as I remember us talking abo…
> but I've continued to do so because I *do* feel strongly about not wanting any. This definitely makes swiping harder, but I really think it's the way to go. Someone seems cute and fun but they're …
Religious or political identity has at its root, a life philosophy. So yes, stoicism like any other philosophy on life is pretty much impossible to extricate as apolitical or even non-religious. If …

It would probably help if dating apps put leans left/right, left/right, and extremely left/right as options. I know a lot of people that lean just put moderate down. And people that have never voted…
I’m a (49M) liberal, swiftie, and voted for Kamala. I recently left OLD and had a 3 firm rules. No conservatives, no moderates, no apolitical types. Life is too short to mess with someone who fundamen…
Sorry there is nothing “apolitical” or “moderate” about human rights anymore so those who label themselves or those who are too aloof or cowardly to stick and assign their political values on OLD can …
Seriously!! Right leaning, moderate and apolitical dudes dry me up like the god damn Sahara. I had two different guys straight up lie prior to meeting them in person. You are not do irresistible that …

Moderate, don’t vote, apolitical, nihilistic. It’s all so exhausting. Care about more than yourself.
I think most men think of dating apps as a numbers game and will swipe yes with as many women as possible because there is a greater chance of matching, despite whether they are actually a match or no…
