Ladies, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: politics. That touchy, contentious subject that’s often the start of many an argument. But here’s the twist: opposites do attract! Picture this: a guy swipes right on you after browsing profiles and you’re everything he wants. You’re hitting it off, and then you unleash a rant about your political views.

Whether you lean left, right, up, down, or in a constant state of political apathy, it’s great to have opinions. Maybe you hate politics but love trashing politicians. Maybe you think they’re all greedy and ineffective, or perhaps you’re pro-gun, anti-gun, pro-rights, women’s rights, Black Lives Matter, the government is too big, anti-war, pro-war, pro-pot, anti-pot – the list goes on and on and on. And on.

So, before you become the ultra-opinionated keyboard warrior on your dating profile, consider this: your potential Mr. Right might just be your political opposite. Yet, he could fulfill you emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and yes, give you the big ‘O’ sexually.

Instead of going on a full-blown political tirade, mention your views casually. A little teaser, if you will. “I’m passionate about social justice and environmental conservation” sounds way more inviting than “All politicians are crooks and here’s why…”

Throw in some humor to show you’re not just a political robot. “If we can debate hot topics without flinging spaghetti at the wall, we’ll get along just fine. Plus, who doesn’t love a good argument over dinner?”

Highlight the non-political things you enjoy. Do you love hiking, cooking, Netflix binges, or cats? Let’s hear about that! Politics can be divisive, but shared interests bring people together.

Remember, the goal is to find someone who can make you laugh, cry (in a good way), and feel amazing in every way possible. Whether he’s a Bernie bro or a Trump supporter, if he’s the one who makes your heart flutter and your toes curl, maybe he’s worth a chance.

So, as you craft that killer profile, think about this: Swipe right if you can handle a spirited discussion and still want to share dessert. Who knows, your opposites might just attract – especially if he can give you the big ‘O’ in more ways than one.

At the end of the day, we’re all just trying to find that special someone to navigate this crazy world with, politicians be damned. So keep it light, keep it fun, and who knows? Your perfect match might just be someone who challenges your views and still gives you butterflies. Happy swiping!
