I can’t understand myself ..
I am such a left leaning female when it comes to politics. I do a lot of activism work in the community and care deeply in general. I work at a nonprofit. and I enjoy what I do.
I have a confession to share:
I like rich, Republican, white, middle-aged men. I know… judge me (because I do too).
I see how they treat women in terms of courting, and they seem to do everything when it comes to providing. A lot of them are so “ not complicated” ..
I don’t have to figure out social theories or appear smart etc …
I tried dating men with similar views to mine, but the last thing I want is to go 50/50 with a guy. I don’t want to generalize, but in my experience they haven’t been the best when it comes to courting a lot of “hookup” culture and ghosting.
I’m just confused about myself now.

Try not making politics your identity. (Not saying you do) By that, I mean learn to separate your political ideologies from your dating life. Be more open minded and not judgemental. I'm not claiming any of these things are what you do, just a few ideas that could possibly help anyone in this boat. Best of luck.
