How many different points of views at the same are we talking ?

I believe it to be very intolerant to judge people like this.

Aside from the fact, i most likely wouldn't steer any conversation to religion or politics whatsoever if I didn't know the person at least a little bit beforehand.

Why risk any conflict whatsoever when possibly wanting to meet this person again ?

Good question. I do suppose it depends how different we're talking here. I lean right but I would date a liberal woman. But I wouldn't date a woman who thinks it's okay for kids to become trannies.

Basically I would date a normal liberal woman but not a redditor. So maybe you would have this mindset too. I definitely wouldn't "block and delete" a woman I'm dating 0.000000000000001 seconds after finding out she's a liberal.

The interesting point of the post is that judgements about "messengers" transporting messages like this usually only impacts themselves. Because they narrow their own view, mostly.

If it is relevant in context of a "romantic" relationship, political or religious view never played that big a role for me. I was mostly in relationships with "catholic" women coincidentally, and at least where I am from these are the kind of women who don't take anything (including themselves) this kind of serious.

The more you judge, the more input you lose, most likely, from my experience.
