The Politics of DatingDo you prefer Democrats and donkeys? Would you never leave your Republicans or elephant for another? Politics bring out the best and worst in some people. Luckily, one website grabbed a hold of this notion and probed deeper. During the recent election, they set up their own polling booth and found some surprising answers.
OKcupid.com is a fun singles websites that uses various questions you have to answer in route to finding your mate. They decided to find out how much political awareness increases your awareness of somebody. They got some interesting results.
The first surprise was in how many people responded. Over 8,000 people played in their online poll during the beginning of the week. The democrats won in a landslide of being voted better performers in bed. And while many people, like 70%, would date a Republican, only 29% of those people would ever marry one. On a serious note, they also asked what hot topics, like the war, abortion or school funding, were most important to you and how important they should be to a mate (very important, according to respondents).
What is one way to build a solid relationship? Have something in common that you are passionate about. Politics certainly brings out the passion in people, in good times and bad. Bring up a hot topic and you will see the true nature of the person.

And the good thing about politics and relationships - they both offer endless choices. There are hundreds of singles profiles to choose from and there is every opinion available on politics. You just need to spend a little time searching, exercise some patience while waiting and the love of your life will appear one day. Posted by eDatingCentral.com Nov 20, 2006 7:00 am
