    Liberals and conservatives liked their dating partner less after discovering that he/she was on the wrong side of the political spectrum, but only liberals became more uncomfortable. https://psyarxiv.com/p3j8v/ pic.twitter.com/hXMD1ZkpEf

        This is fun, "it's not you, it's not me, it's my politics, and there's nothing I can do about them. Remember me for what you once thought I was."

        Is it because more men are conservative relative to women, and men in general are more "superficial"?

        Just more evidence that the American right is more tolerant than the left.

        I continue to be baffled by this framing of political ideology as a trivial characteristic. If you and a potential partner have strongly diverging values, it’s unsurprising that this would impact your desire to move forward

        IMO this indicates that people are not who they think they are. Modern *political self-identification* has more to do with geographic and demographic tribalism and less with personality/temperament.

        The 'old-fashioned' point of view would be that liberal politics and promiscuity often coincide, ergo conservative men might think liberal women are easy and thus more immediately attractive. Similarly, conservative women would be fine with the "bad boy" they must resist/change.

        I admit this truly happened to me, especially after he toasted everyone and stated "death to all Muslims" in all seriousness. I just Could Not have sex with him anymore after that.
