I've seen a few profiles say along the lines "if you vote Tory, pass me by".

When it comes to meeting someone new, why do politics come into play?

Does it bother you who someone choses to vote for?

"

I would never decry someones choice to do that. I guess their argument would be they would not find that person attractive for their political views which is a preference.

Myself unless they had some extreme views that were just abhorrent, I couldn't care what political party they find appealing if they were a nice person to spend time with.

Some people feel very strongly about how someone’s politics defines their nature (to be fair, it often does).

Not to fan the flames but I’d feel like I was betraying my integrity sharing intimate pleasure with someone that tacitly supports the things I’m against etc.

I've never felt that strongly about any political party and have voted for both of the big two in the past. But I'd rather be challenged than surround myself with people that agree with me all of the time.

I havent voted conartist since I was a young and stupid 18 year old... I've never been stupid enough to vote liebour.

Imho neither party is fit to govern, the vast majority of the MPs from both parties are only interested in lining their own pockets.

I'd rather vote for the last mouse my cat brought in... ok it didnt have a head, but it had far more integrity than either flip flop Starmer or snake oil Sunak.

It's just another preference for some people. It doesn't matter if others think it's right or wrong but if a person feels it matters to them then it's legitimate.

If you don't agree, don't approach them or if they've approached you just ignore or give a polite 'no thanks'

There isn't even a hair's breadth between the two major parties.

People who believe the values of the members differ in any way fail to examine the major parties at any depth likely to reveal anything at all and just decide their allegiance to a party according to their own biases.

Echo chambers are indeed real, I’m conscious of those. Some suffer greatly at the hands of our politics and those that have done, or strongly relate to those that have done, and aren’t likely to view supporters of those politics in a positive light.

I don’t bring politics into it overtly but if there are glaringly obvious signs that the person I’m speaking with is a Tory, I’m out. It’s their prerogative to have their own politics, it’s my prerogative to walk away.

Having political beliefs that don’t manifest as direct action is not posturing. I side with Palestine, I don’t have to grab an AK47 and jump on a boat to the West Bank to have that opinion validated.

Opinions are entirely a personality but they do give insight to someone’s personality, how can it not?

Depends on what "Views" they might hold due to how they vote ?? maybe ?? but unless they are on the extremes but it is amazing what some do think or rather lead to believe by those above us ? the whole myth of it won't/can't/wouldn't effect us is largely been exploded though ? and about time but a little to late though to have a concious ? and people are mainly selfish and only take a interest when stuff effects them ?? and politics has become all shouty pointy fingers and let's just try to be hnest we've all been "Played" for suckers by the 10% or is it the 20% and so most of the grand plans that were meant to makes us all better off with more choice and better service and cheaper prices hasn't worked out to well for 90% of us has it ? and name one "Privatisation" that's actualy worked out as promised ? or even so called "Partial Privtisation" like the NHS ? so if you left or right wing or in the middle we can all agree we've been played for suckers ? ourtaxes are the highest since 1948 ( even mr4 wasn't born then ffs) the highest % of tax taken from money spent in the economy ? record council tax bills ?? record NI ? ...

I think for me, it’s less about how people vote. It’s about their opinions on certain things. Especially relating to my experience. And my experience isn’t political.

Having said that, I *PERSONALLY* feel as though someone that votes Tory in spite of racist leaders in the past, racist policies, what they did to the windrush generation recently and a racist party donor that said what he did about Diane Abbott, would not be someone I would be willing to get naked with. It’s about having freedom to share your body and sex with people that you value and that value you too. My opinion on sex is that it isn’t something I want to just share with anyone. And the stipulations I put in place are, as annoying as it is for some, about the political perspectives that people have.

But like I said, it’s mostly about opinions on certain things relating to my own experience and the experiences of others that I love. Basically, their opinions on and support for marginalised communities is important to me. Where possible anyway. And the forums give great insight into that.

I've never had a political conversation with anyone I've met through fab.

Someone's political leanings wouldn't put me off chatting to them but the very fact they felt the need to even bring it up in conversation would.

I have zero interest in politics and equally as much interest in anyone who can't have a grown up conversation without bringing up the subject.

It's like any other topic that people may be laser focused on and have me confused with someone who might be interested.

I said politics are a justified factor in developing relationships (platonic, professional or romantic) I didn’t say they were necessarily a deciding factor.

I was speaking generally about both politics and relationships, sorry if that wasn’t made clear.

I did date someone who had very conservative views once because she was really fit and was otherwise a nice person but I always did feel a twinge of hypocrisy for it when she was pissed and talking about asylum seekers being given free Playststions or something equally ridiculous. It didn’t last.

Asking who you vote for, definitely. Very personal and absolutely nobodies business.

Voting preferences are a fairly small part of politics as it applies to personality and characteristics though, I can’t vote to tax billionaires back to reality because no party with any chance of winning are advocating it. If they were, I’d vote for them but only out of principle.

I’m guessing some people are politically active/knowledgable/aware, and want others of the same mindset. Providing their party colour matches.

Does it bother me? It wouldn’t bother me……UNLESS they started to try and ram it in my face.

I think if one or both of you are quite indifferent to politics then perhaps it’s not an issue, but if you both have strong opposing views, it’s inevitable there will be a clash. Maybes not as important with someone you’re only sleeping with, but sometimes just the principles or a whiff of a ‘classic’ Tory/Labour voter would be enough to put someone off

The only argument I’m making is that politics do influence personality, it’s a form of belief almost. It is personal and therefore reflects personality to an extent.

Is it fair to judge someone entirely based on their politics? Probably not, but judging someone based solely on any indicator aspect of their personality isn’t fair either really.

I think politics as a subject matter reaches far wider than how someone votes. I'd say many topics discussed here fall into the realms of being political.

A person's beliefs and values are important to me. Moreso how they formulate them, their experiences, their story.

I have friends with some strongly opposed views to my own. However, we have a respect for each others beliefs that's more important to me than agreement. I like people who make me think and can challenge me, explore a subject.

I love sex, I don't arbitrarily want to put my penis in people. I want to know the person before I want to have sex with them. I don't see why politics is any less or more of a valid topic of conversation than anything else really.

I suspect that a lot of people see me as being very left wing, but in fact I regard myself as centrist. Over the years I've voted for all the respectable parties except SNP and Plaid Cymru (don't get a lot of those standing in England).

At present though the conservative party is a big no for me, and I would find it difficult to get on with anyone that was vociferously in favour of the tories. This was not the case 35 years ago (my wife was a tory when we married) and might not be the case at some time in the future. However over the last 7 or 8 years the conservative party has been completely consumed by people that make Margaret Thatcher look like a communist. In particular it has been overtaken by transphobes that would like to make my very existence illegal. For me at the moment, voting for the likes of Braverman, Badenoch, Sunak and Mordaunt would be like Americans of African descent voting for the KKK.

So not a "hard no" to conservatives, but definitely a "we might well not get on together".

I don’t think it has that much impact in practice does it?

Most people are pretty central in their views and will agree with bits from all parties. No one party really reflects anyone’s views unless you are to the extreme end of that party. If someone is zealotry enough to feel that voting for anything other than what they believe in is grounds to make sweeping generalisations about others then I would suggest they probably want to give their head a wobble and stop being so tribal.

I’m not sure calling it tribalism is fair either; that said, if it’s a case “you don’t like my party, well FINE that means I don’t like you!” then yes of course.

It’s more about the way it reflects their views generally. Concerning hot potatoes like privatisation, the NHS, police powers and social services etc. the extent and enthusiasm which with someone takes a position on those things does reveal things about their nature, at face value.

I can’t really give any examples without being needlessly controversial so I hope the above makes sense.

I have zero interest in politics and equally as much interest in anyone who can't have a grown up conversation without bringing up the subject.

Meh, it's political

Sadly, the reality is that currently it doesn't really matter which party you actually vote for these days... Same dog, different head, and it has been that way for decades. Nowt will actually change on a surface level either party that gets voted into power. The issues are too far ingrained, the underlying rot too set in. And we can never have a major reform without a major reset-shake that would fuck the country... Sooo, we'll all vote one way or another. And whichever party will make token policies/changes. Mostly we'll continue the same because of any party rocks the boat too much the public kicks back... Yada, yada... The UK is no less a one party system than a lot of other countries. We just love to think we have choice

English Politician - Your pensions are now gone, if you’re unemployed for more than a week you’ll be euthanised and the police now have the power to slap you if make eye contact with them.

English Public - I don’t know much about all that but it’s probably because of genders.

French teenager - I wanna bang my teacher

French teacher - I wanna bang my student (although I'm married)

French president - I'd prefer you not to scrutiny the fact I'm married to my former teacher...

But they make great cheese

"

Oh yeh their politicians are barely any different than ours. I admire how the French just kick off and f*ck sh*t up until the party in power meets their demands….that’s what they’re actually meant to do.

Because politics play a role in every part of your life. Including sex.

And choosing to ignore that doesn’t make it any less true.

Everything's political Willy. But that's very different to party political, media frenzy (which is also political). Political simply means "of policy", from Greek "polis" - town or city.

In other words, how we organise living around others.

That should be a lived, vibrant experience, every drumbeat of the day contains it.

Rather than this once every 5 years pseudo-democracy, with one human voice for every 100,000 people (68 million people, 650 MPs), bent to all the corruption Westminster's bright lights and club-bish protection afford.

If you had access to real politics, real debate, real influence and real connectivity to everything and everyone around you - you'd feel even more alive.

Politics is life.

Party politics and Westminster is a poor imitation.

That’s patently untrue. You live in a society. That society is shaped and affected by political decisions. Everything you do and touch in a day is affected. The rules and laws of the land are. The prices you pay for things are. Everything is.

The things you talk about are the hurdles of life they just have to be got over is all, you say politics shapes them i say it doesn't. Tax is a thing that was invented to keep the poor poor and the rich richer and therefore money was invented to value what somebody else can provide, we work to earn money to get by but for me politics plays absolutely no role in that process, i pay my way because thats got to be done to survive, to live. Politics is the negatives of life no place for them in my world.

Yes but the fact that somebody makes a law that makes something lawful affects my life how it doesn't i carry on my life, the fact that another country is killing the people of another country doesn't affect me my life continues, the fact that oil prices rose only affects the money i have to spend it doesn't affect me any other way. It may affect you because you watch the news and read newspapers and vote but i don't so it doesn't affect me, my life continues the only difference is how much i have to spend on living my life.

In my experience, saying you’re apolitical is a fundamentally conservative position. ‘I just look after me’ is a fundamentally conservative position. And a deeply sad one.

Not having an ‘affiliation’ is a choice. It *is* a political stance.

Saying you don’t believe in politics and you don’t vote says something about you. The kind of person you are. And that can affect whether someone finds you attractive. So it affects your sex life.

This really isn’t rocket science.

Normally when I am shagging someone or meeting someone in a swinging situation politics does not enter the situation.

However there is griwing evidence (obly from poll data) that younger audiences are less likely to want to socialise with someone with a different political oppinion.

Maybe because it’s a tangible, concrete display of what they believe in, and things like how they would like people worse off than themselves to be treated by the state.

Not wanting life to be political - I understand that, sympathise with it.

It's rabbit hole upon rabbit hole in a spiral of confusion that never quite knows what it's doing....and we squidgy humans cope better with simplicity. Complexity is a bit scary.

But realising all those rabbit holes are reality - that's intelligence.

And how we shape our understandings from the limited information we extract - that determines ideas, technology, social interactions, social structures, economics, politics, progress - and regress.

This whole thread could become several million words, and none of us would still have answers.

But the questions are more important than the answers, and politics is about providing a working but flawed, temporary answer to an ongoing series of questions.

The Westminster system was once a highly advanced "temporary answer" - around 400 years ago.

It's now a particularly poor and dated answer, because those pesky questions never go away and keep metamorphosising into new strains, new "viruses" of data overload.

We can run from that, but we can't hide from it.

People have preferences. They have the right to pick and choose who they want to sleep with be it height, weight, age, race, religion or political views.

Political preferences probably don't make a big difference if it's just sex. But some people enjoy the social side of it too and it matters to them.

I personally find the idea of not wanting to even talk with people with different opinions silly and narrow-minded. But that's just me. I am not going to force my opinions on others.

Political awareness should be a part of everyone’s life because we have democracy.

In a fab environment in my view less so, it’s about pleasure it’s about seeking sexual goals.

I do think it can be important, as I love the conversations that go on during socials and meets.

If someone was strident about views very opposed to mine, I might struggle with that.

However, I do like to have friends in life with different outlooks to me. It’s all good, so long as the conversation is respectful and points are made in an intelligent way.

I’ve made a number of Fab friends who have been visiting Wales over the years. I know my outlook on politics and the UK as a political entity is very different to their’s, certainly around things like the monarchy etc.

We’ve had great conversations though, and I’d argue it’s made meets more rewarding.
