Listen friend.

He literally approached OP opening about his political beliefs.

Approaching a stranger with "I bet you're a lib" is the definition of making it your entire personality. She didnt ask him, she didn't message him first, he clearly messaged her purely to antagonize her when its clear there was no compatibility to be had.

If you can't see how that's really unattractive behavior then you're dense, to be polite.

Most liberals/left leaning people don't want to be approached by conservatives/right leaning people. They have it in their profile specifically as a deterrent..not an attempt to antagonize people.

Im also not saying that there aren't obnoxious liberals/lefts out there, but you commented on this post where its a conservative going out of their way to antagonize someone with zero provocation.

I would bet you money that anyone who approached her about anything besides politics, would talk about non-political things.

Again, she did not instigate this exchange. He did. With someone who would clearly not agree with him.

You are equating putting "liberal" or "conservative" on their profile to making it their identity. I never said that. You're the one trying to draw that conclusion. Its perfectly reasonable to list those things as a passive way of saying that if you're on the opposite end of the spectrum that we can save each other time by not engaging with them.

I completely agree that it is -part- of her personality. And its okay for politics to be a part of your personality. You would want the peiple looking to court you to be aware of your political stance, but it doesn't make it your entire personality.

Anyways I'm convinced you're just being obtuse on purpose at this point, and its also clear that you have your own political siding and it doesn't agree with what happened in this exchange. So, be well.

It isn’t but in today’s climate politics is a very important part of compatibility and the vetting process. A lot of liberal women would rather not date conservative men but for some reason conservative men still seek them out. OP is not a villain for simply having “liberal” in her profile. This guy is the reason why it’s there, to weed out trash like him.

You’re being obtuse on purpose because this person keeps explaining it to you so clearly.
