Conservatives and Liberals Look for Similar Things When It Comes to Internet Dating

You probably think that there is a divide between conservatives and liberals on just about anything. 

However, the truth is many politicians agree that there are more that unites them than there are that separates them. You might be surprised to learn that internet dating is one of those things.

Research suggests that people are typically looking for the same things when it comes to online dating. And it doesn’t matter if someone leans to the right or the left. Both liberals and conservatives tend to have certain things they are looking for when they venture into the world of internet dating.

The research took place at the University of Miami. The study revealed that those who were liberal and those who were conservative were looking for someone just like them. Bear in mind this doesn’t refer to their political beliefs or anything of that nature.

Researchers analyzed 3,000 dating profiles. These profiles were from a trendy internet dating website. The researchers chose to examine profiles of those who indicated or identified as being a conservative or a liberal. 

The study results revealed that both groups were seeking potential partners that shared similar characteristics, including political views. 

Another exciting find was that white men made up most conservatives who were using internet dating. Liberals were more likely not to have any kids, as well as being single. 

Furthermore, the study suggests that conservatives were not as likely as liberals to consider or accept a dissimilar partner.

Nearly 60 percent of those in the study identified themselves as not being liberal or conservative. Instead, most consider themselves to be somewhere in between.

What you should also know is there is a warning within the study. Researchers have warned that if people continue to seek out those with similar characteristics, this will continue to increase the division among liberals and conservatives. 

One of the study’s co-authors, Casey Klofstad, said that children often lean towards the left or the right based on their parent’s political preferences. If you are a conservative or have conservative views, then your parents may very well have had or still have similar ideas. The same can be said if you have more liberal views than traditional reviews.

Klofstad continued to say that political polarization could end up hastening due to internet dating. Online dating has been too easy for people to use dating sites like shopping sites. In other words, you could join a dating site to quickly “shop” around for a partner. However, if you tend only to try to find and date those with similar political views, then the political divide might become even more expansive. 

What it means to court someone is you get to know the person you’re dating. If you plan on using an online dating website, you should keep the above info in mind because it may very well play a role in landing a date. Not only that, but your odds of getting a second date and beyond may go up.

The bottom line is there’s nothing wrong with finding people who are like you, but when you’re courting someone, don’t completely write them off if there are a few dissimilarities between them and yourself. 

The overall results of the survey suggest that the ideological gap in America is widening because of singles who try to couple up with others with remarkably similar political views.
