Sucks. She’s easily one of the most intelligent people you would ever meet. Spent years as a public defender, then went to medical school to become a doc. And yet, she thinks socialism is the root of all evil. I’ve been talking to her for months. First time we talk politics, and it’s soul crushing. Argentina is tough. Most women I talk to are peronists, which is worse than US lib IMO. IDK how I will recover, I was so emotionally invested 😭

      I was starting to date again after about 14 years of relationships, and did this. Like, in the first few conversations, “hey I’m a radical communist hope thats cool.” Got lucky and am now with someone who both mostly agrees with me, and loves how passionate I am.

      Good luck out there!

        for me its more like 5 years of no relationships

        a couple hookups (only one comrade and I think I bungled it but he was nice about it)

        I’m straight up just not in a position to date because my life is a shambles and I’m working on transing my gender some sort of way, but I want to date in theory, so I’m sure it’ll happen eventually

        Other problem is I’ve gotten rid of my smartphone so no dating apps :( They all suck but at least there was grindr, or tinder if I was feeling like getting disappointed. Now I’d have to, idk, make connections via organizing or meet randos at the bar/through the grapevine?
