I remember...the 1st time I met my daughters father. Vry hot, until he started talking (and this sounds bad b.c it IS bad)I quickly put my fingers to his lips and asked him to kiss me so he would shut the fuck up!Odg the sex was spectacular but we were on totally different planets.

Someone's political views being similar to mine are important if I plan on a long-tem relationship. On the other hand, I'm always willing to listen to opposing views, even a friendly debate if it comes to that, but ONLY if it can stay friendly. The person with whom I disagree may not be a candidate for a long-term relationship. Hell, a lot of people think I'M no candidate for a long-term relationship. Fair is fair. However, I don't think every encounter from this site is likely to be or should be a long-term deal. And even if it's not, that doesn't mean two can't enjoy each other or each other's company. My mind may be made up about a lot of things, but if I'm not capable of listening to an opposing view, I've got a problem. Of course if I'm so wishy washy as to agree with everyone else's ideas I've got just as big a problem. I don't believe in having such an open mind that my brain can leak out. Walking around with brain leaking out of your head isn't to attractive, either. lol

Having the ability to agree to disagree is very mature. However, that being said, I know that from personal experience, sex can be even better if you connect on more than just a physical level with your partner. This is one reason why including a bit of kink or alternative activities can be so captivating. If you have the ability to connect on a mental level with your partner then more power to you. Again, the sex can be good without this component tossed in but if you don't have to compromise then you end up with a bit more bang for the buck, so to speak. Enjoy your day, Kevin

While being very liberal (conspiratorial at times), I was once (2001) in a 3 way with my good friend and a Republican woman who is not crazy right but still loved Bush. Her brother worked for the Secret Service and upheld the stories of Clinton’s people sabotaging the workplace. Any way, we had fun that night. I still see her for lunches and cubs games. Would love to have a more serious relationship with her, but logistics are difficult (we are both married). Just do not talk about politics, religion, etc. if it is a major problem, unless you plan on living together. The world is your oyster, and I am the sand.

i've seen studies that show that people with right leaning politics disagree with left politics, but can empathize with the people who believe in them. people with left leaning politics can't empathize with conservatives though, and this is the root of a lot of the anger and hate speech we see in politics; for some people, anyone who disagrees with them is not just wrong, but a bad person, and they respond to them accordingly. if this describes you, whether you are left or right leaning in your views (i'm assuming left because i see it a lot more frequently on profiles of liberals), then you shouldn't date anyone who is conservative or independant, because they will disagree with your pseudo-religious political orthodoxy and you will hate them for it. and thats just no good for either of you. i just hope you aren't thinking of this in terms of it being an outlook thing, or an issue thing, or a belief thing, because it's not. it's a pathology, you are indulging in an unhealthy mental pattern and treating people a hell of a lot worse than they deserve because of it.

Yes it does, at least on one subject-abortion. how can you talk to a woman, let alone have sex with her if you cannot understand that she have the same right to make any decision about her life as you do. who put any one person above another person. If you against abortion, stem cell research, Exeter's, then do not do it, but do not tell other human how to live their life. I'm interested to know if you care to defend this: "Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy. Three days later, she sat in a reclining chair, medicated to dilate her cervix and otherwise get her ready for the procedure. Only Renelique didn’t arrive in time. According to Williams and the Florida Department of Health, she went into labor and delivered a live baby girl. What Williams and the Health Department say happened next has shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate: One of the clinic’s owners, who has no medical license, cut the infant’s umbilical cord. Williams says the woman placed the baby in a plastic biohazard bag and threw it out. The baby was 23 weeks old, an age where most babies don’t survive, but some do. An autopsy showed that the baby’s lungs had filled with air, indicating she had been born alive."

I guess they have a major flaw if your views are the absolute truth. Perhaps flaw isn't the right word? To me, it depends on what type of relationship one is pursuing. A long-term relationship is probably healthiest if you share many interests and sharing a ride to the local planned parenthood clinic so one of you can protest and the other can support the clinic is not what I am saying. Having served in the Navy, it goes without saying that I am not interested in meeting anyone who possesses anti-military views.

In my opinion, I don't think it should matter a great deal if two people share different views on certain subjects. I know politics can really turn things into a heated discussion in a matter of minutes, but the important word is DISCUSSION, not ARGUMENT. We can all learn from each other if only we are able to open our minds and listen to others' point of view. It doesn't mean you have to surrender to another's way of thinking. It simply opens the possibility of other ideas. I share different spiritual views than many people I know, but that doesn't stop us from being intelligent, knowledge-seeking adults that are willing to put ourselves in the other person's shoes if only for a moment. I recently spoke with a friend about her religious beliefs, and she adamantly defended them. She has had a traumatic childhood, and when her way of thinking changed, her life changed as well. This presents the fight or flight response when I present my own beliefs. I wouldn't say she directly shuns them, but it is clear that her experiences have programmed her into a sort of "tunnel vision". She is so afraid of stepping "out of line", that she will stay her path until the end. I did manage to see a glimmer in her eye when I asked her a single question about my way of thinking in terms of life, the soul, and religion in general. What if it were true? Just the fact that she stopped to think means that she, if only for a moment, opened her mind to other possibilities. I don't claim to have all the answers. I do, however, steer hard toward those things that make sense, and I leave myself open to knowledge to support those that have yet to come into focus. But, when new light is shed on a certain subject, I have learned to do one thing that I once defiantly refused to do. Stop and think. GLC

As long as this isn't discussed or becomes a problem of fun and neither party is concerned with them All is Good. I keep from discussing this kinds of issues as I don't want it to affect the fun. Isn't that why we are here?
