I stand corrected.

Nah, I'd say MAGA is the worst.

The "I'm not your mother" approach to dating profiles still makes me laugh when I see it
I feel well put
Yeah openly Maga is still the biggest red flag, but going to chatgpt for advice would also make me swipe left. No fucking thanks lol

The argument is "apolitical" means MAGA but ashamed, which many think is worse.

Why not skip the dating app and just directly date the robot at this point?

I don't think it's as bad. They're at least self aware enough to be ashamed of it. Still a no, mind you, but not the immediate visceral reaction I get from seeing a woman in a maga hat

To be fair, if they're ashamed, it means they know they believe and support terrible things, yet support those things anyway, as opposed to the state of delusion others are in.

It's like "Oh, I'm racist, I just don't want to be treated like a racist."

If a guy puts moderate or not political in their dating profile, it usually means they're a conservative trying to hide that fact.
Yes we're being condescending
Yes that means we're talking down to you

Not just guys. I see conservative women mask their views with "moderate"

Asking Grok for advice on how to approach a woman and it's probably like "just put something in her drink"
There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.
Pretty sure the worst would be saying youre a serial killer.

'Red flag' gets misused so much. You not liking something or a difference of opinion doesn't mean it's a red flag.
I would just assume that is a joke

Actually, it does. If you can't date the person for said difference, it is a red flag.

Maybe not the technical definition, but language evolves and this is what it means in society

No that's not what a red flag means.

Nah, there are definitely worse places out there. Not that this topic is even asking for advice.

Theyre not ashamed, theyre just lying in hopes of getting a date with someone who wouldnt want anything to do with them if they were honest.
Touche. Although thankfully in my case, being a minority means that even those that are trying to hide it likely wouldn't swipe right on me anyway.

Yeah, there's a pretty huge political disconnect for people in their 20s and 30s. Women are just significantly more likely to be left leaning than guys. Guys have caught onto this and quite a few resort to outright lying about their political beliefs.

Nah that's a dealbreaker. The two can overlap but don't always.

I think it's fairly telling that dude came in to make that argument because he wanted to say being MAGA is just a "difference of opinion."

A red flag is a metaphorical warning sign of a potential problem or danger. So yes, saying that listing "apolitical" on their profile is a sign of a potential problem is correct usage of red flag.

It's not. You don't use 'red flag' for every potential problem you can encounter in your life including difference of opinions, incompatibility, different lifestyles etc.

Correct. Thus you shouldn't try and date them.

Someone that can't handle disagreement is a red flag. I don't think you and I will ever make it as a couple.

I'm disagreeing with you that we can't be a couple because of our disagreement about red flags and that's a red flag.

You're right. A difference of opinion isn't a red flag. My gf believes that Japanese food is the best type of cuisine, while I believe that Mexican food is the best type of cuisine. That is a difference of opinion and is not the same as a red flag.

Someone still supporting Trump in 2025 is not simply a difference of opinion

With the way hinge seems to work (tinder as well? I didn't use it as much but feel like I remember it being the same) you won't see anyone who outright lists conservative as their political leaning based on your swiping habits. Perhaps it's influenced by the population of your area though.

I do occasionally see women who put things in their profile that seem to signal conservativism even if they won't come out and say it for whatever reason. Something about looking for traditional roles or a provider or whatever

It is, because you have those shitty-ass options and hate, but are self-aware to hide it and possibly manipulate the other person. People outright about it are better because it's easier to avoid them and know for sure.
