He won't take it further because I am a conservative person

[Orokotikki]

Liberal? Hadn't noticed.

 

Conservative? No prob here, just renewed my NRA membership and love to go target shooting with the missus.

 

MAGA hat? I think I left the oven on, I should go check on that.

 

Lecturing me about micro-agressions? I think my wife left the oven on, I should go check on that.

MO I was rejected once from a guy that I had insane chemistry with because I wrote in my profile that "I don't enjoy talking about politics". Needless to say, I was deeply upset (we went out several times), and he took a while to tell me the truth.... But it's for the best. Now enjoying a close relationship with his .. male roommate, they are very liberal / liberated

 

That couldnÂ’t be the real reason, if he had gone out with you a few times.

[kendahke]

LOL...he's just a delicate little snowflake. You're well rid of him.

 

No he's not, Lois. He's a guy who decided that MO is not who he wants to be with and he and everyone else is perfectly within their rights to make that determination for themselves and their happiness, especially when at the point where MO and this guy were, neither of them owes the other anything like devotion or meeting unexpressed, unreasonable expectations.

I don't think he is as "friendly" about it as some of you are painting him. In the middle of his response to her he said this.....

Go ahead an cut me to shreds like all conservative women do.

....this is where I would stick the "snowflake" label.

I don't think she painted him as someone who is friendly, simply as someone who is not interested in dating the OP, full stop.

No. We were not the ones who started to call ourselves snowflakes. It’s an insult by right wingers. After they started using it as an insult, we’ve appropriated it.

 

The surprising history of ‘snowflake’ as a political insult

https://thinkprogress.org/all-the-special-snowflakes-aaf1a922f37b/

 

I didn’t say you invented the term, lol. I just think it doesn’t make much sense. Jesus has never been a Rabbi. That’s news for me. Christians might have appropriated our Old Testament (or, as we call it... Bible lol) but we have nothing to do with the New Testament. Relationship-wise which might be more pertinent to LS we also don’t carry any guilt or shame re: sex, we view it as a good thing and a blessing.

 

Persecution is a strong word which does not apply here. Quite offensive actually if I’m honest. We don’t “persecute” anyone. (As opposed to what everyone else did to us, historically). Why would anyone continue to go to a synagogue if they changed their faith? As a Jew, believing Jesus was the messiah is changing their faith from Judaism to something else.

 

SORRY for the deviation from OP. Let’s not hijack the thread!

 

I think they originally called themselves that.

 

...

 

Jesus was a Jewish Rabi.

...

It wasn't until the Christian message moved out to the Gentiles and persecution from the Jews drove them out of the synagogues.

I’ve had quite a few conservative men send me obnoxious messages on okcupid when messages were still open, including shouting TRUMP & MAGA etc when I made it very clear in my profile that I don’t date right wingers. This guy is right. Many conservatives can be rude when you tell them you won’t date them. I was never rude to anyone because of their political leanings... so there’s something to what the guy said. And the way OP reacted shows it. Why get angry about something like this?

 

If someone told me they don’t date liberals - I’d say I get it, good luck!

I thought his message to you was great until he told you to go ahead and cut him to shreds like other conservative women have done.

 

A statement like that coming from someone who identified as a conservative or as a liberal (conservative complaining about liberals doing it or lib complaining about conservatives doing it, either one) would be a red flag to me; not too cool.

[Artdeco]

I truly think this was used as an excuse.

He might not like your pictures. Or he got bored exchanging messages, because you came across as uninspiring, or as somebody who communicates poorly.

Political differences are just different opinions, and to discard a woman just because of that, before even meeting her, is unusual. Most men, if they like the pictures, would meet despite a blatant difference in opinions. That's just my experience.

[Woggle]

Some people believe very strongly in this kind of stuff and that would make it hard to date somebody with different views. Some people can make it work but the political climate is actually causing some divorces.
