How important are political, religious and social views when assessing compatibility for you while dating?
They are very important to me. I have to be able to understand and respect the man that I deal with every day. His views of the world and people in particular are important for gauging this. I have found that people who do not respect other humans on this planet are more likely to be disrespectful to me. What do you think? |

Depends on if the other person is reasonable. I consider intelligence more important than political views. Even if an intelligent person disagrees with me at first, I can provide enough evidence that their sense of reason and logic would mandate that they agree with me. If Naomi Wolf can be converted, there's hope for just about anyone.

Hardly important. I respect other views as long as they respect mine.

Simple ... if we're not compatible from a shared philosophical / values construct, we're pisssin' in the wind - even if the sex IS great ... it ain't gonna work for the long haul. I don't expect one-to-one equivalence, but I expect a shared set of common values and outlook. If that isn't there, it's time to say 'Thanks' but goodbye ...

I like a good debate but I don't want to spend all my time in a relationship fighting over who to vote for or what the real meaning of life is.

Political, religious and social opinions are important to me, else I wouldn't have them. To me, person's views reflect their intelligence and personality; and those two charcteristics ARE important. :)

I have found that if you watch how people treat people that they don't even know and are very different from themselves. You can gauge what kind of person you will have living with you and respecting you.
If they cannot respect humans in general, you will have problems from them in your relationship. So political, religious and social views are very important to see how a person respects other humans and the world. It is also a good gauge of selfishness, if they are completely caught up in their own kind and their own issues with no consideration of others views and others strife in life, then they are pretty caught up in themselves. Just my observations here. |

I think those are important core values...social values would be the main concern for me, the overall respect or lack of respect for life, ALL life, humanity, the planet...
I prefer spirituality over religion..not an issue if we can agree to disagree. Politics...eh, if we can have a discussion without him popping a vein and getting all worked up we can agree to disagree there also. Yeah, I'd say those are valid concerns when partering up.. |

In the unlikely event that I am wrong, and this can be proven with solid methodology, I would be willing to concede that I am wrong. Thanks for asking. I'm so rarely wrong I don't think about it much!

I have found that people who do not respect other humans on this planet are more likely to be disrespectful to me. But those are neither political or religious issues, those are moral issues on the individual basis. I wouldn't believe, that everyone in the right wing wants to destroy the planet while the left is trying to save it, and the same with religions, I doubt anyone who is religious is disrespectful while non-religious is not or vice versa. These are only stereotyping examples, I'm not saying that this is what you believe. |

I'm amazed that the bulk of humanity hasn't become entirely misantrhopic. :)

How important are political, religious and social views when assessing compatibility for you while dating? Totally insignificant to me. Other people's views are their own valued opinions. I respect this. I do not take any responsibility for what they are thinking. Nor would I legislate it. Discussing polar opposite views could be enlightening. |

I'm amazed that the bulk of humanity hasn't become entirely misantrhopic. :) I am a converted misanthrope. I have found that in some aspects life is like a mirror. We get back what we put out, sometimes worse. I had to learn to love and respect myself first though before I could change anything. Attitude and working for the positive are two of the many areas that I have changed. I work against the negative and for the positive in our world. |

They're not very important to me.
I've also found that morally depraved women give good back massages. |
