Moderate men matching with clearly liberal women?

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…

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…

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.

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…

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.

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…

Can Stoicism ever be a political ideology?

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 …
