Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't know how weird it is. That's where all the women are, and their whole thing is not respecting a women's choices. Also they don't read.
It's simple, if you only get one match for every 100 likes/swipe right you give out, you simply don't have time to read every profile properly.
Especially if 9 out of 10 matches don't even respond after messaging them.
That has been my experience and I am not even right wing.
I just recently tried Hinge, my first attempt at a dating app just kinda on a whim. I pressed X on everyone who didn’t really have, or at least display, much of a personality and 48hrs later happened upon a real top-shelf weirdo and it’s been going pretty well so far. I get likes, too, but they’re almost always liking my generic picture and not asking about any of the interesting ones or about the written prompts so I just skip those ones.
My own profile is not built to be palatable but built to be myself. It shows my interests and it shows who I am which may turn people away but that’s ok since it’s better that happens now instead later, ya know?
TL;DR: If you just smash “like” on people you barely looked at all you’re doing is increasing your rejections and making yourself feel bad over something that was never going to work out in the first place.
That’s very fair, and you’re right. A lack of respect for others pretty much covers all those things including thinking her preferences don’t matter or won’t once the truth comes out. It always struck me as a a weird behavior because it seems doomed to conflict/waste time.
