Why I only date liberals

So one of the really fun things about me is the Internet dating. Not “fun” in the sense of actually enhancing the quality of my life, you understand, but “fun” in the sense of generating amusing stories to tell at the expense of the evil ratholes I occasionally date or (more often) refuse to date.

So one time, I get this contact from a guy who liked my ad. And I look at his ad, and I see that it says that he’s a conservative. Seeing that, I think “nuh-uh.” Just as you would.

I write to the guy, something very similar to the following: “Thanks anyway, but I see that you’re a conservative. I’m a liberal and I don’t think we’re a good match. I don’t think we should pursue this.”

He writes back: “You’re right. We shouldn’t pursue it. Liberals annoy me.”

And I thought, it figures. I write to him with something mutual, something equal for both of us and non-judgemental—we’re not a good match. He answers with something that’s all about him, and is insulting to boot. Frickin’ conservatives.

Y’know, I try to maintain the attitude that good people can choose to be conservative. But it’s Really. Damn. Hard.

    Ah my heart is breaking because I’m not a Liberal.
    You see here where I live liberal refers to a political party that I most definitly do not support.
    I hope we can still be freinds though.

    LOL! I am going by the American standard. Liberal = stop controlling my sex life, my reproductive rights, and my religion. Start controlling corporations. Do provide government financial support for the poor, the hungry, and the elderly. Don’t provide government financial support for the wealthy to get wealthier.

    So I have to ask, do you have “liberal” on your profile? and if you did why did he bother?

  4. deblipp says:

    I must have, because I saw he was a conservative, so it must have been a site where they ask. As to why, because he was a BIG JERK. That’s why he gets a whole blog entry.
