It depends. How "opposite" are we talking here? I'm a Centrist and about 55% classical liberal, so I could date someone who was moderately Liberal or Conservative, and would most prefer another Centrist like me.
Due to the political climate right now, I could date a full-on Christian Conservative Republican lady (not that she'd probably want me, since I am pro-choice), but definitely would NEVER date a Progressive Feminist type, aka, a social justice warrior. Never. Not in a million years. The latter is rejected because they just tend to be incredibly sh*tty, stupid, awful, myopic, closed-minded, rude, disgusting horrible people.
In fact, in real life, I ended up accidentally dating a feminist who was an 8.5 out of 10 in looks, by my standards. Besides small B-cup boobs, she was everything I could physically want in a woman. But, once I found out she was both a feminist (not a "tolerant" feminist, but full-on Third Wave) and polyamorous and was cucking her boyfriend in Idaho by being with me, I had to drop her like a bad habit.
So recap, I could date moderate liberals or conservatives, and could even date hardcore conservatives just because they'll likely be more tolerant and respectful, but I could never date progressives because they just tend to be complete a**holes, on top of being really stupid. And stupidity and meanness are two dealbreakers of mine, included with feminists, polyamory, bigotry, transgenderism, and bisexuality/queerness, all of which also usually fall onto the far-left side of things.

No, such a relationship could not work.
I would want to send the female to Belsen and she would want to send me to one of Stalin's gulags.
I can tell a strange and true story, though.
When I was much younger I had friends with benefits arrangements with Jewish girl, a couple of her friends and a Trotskyite female.
They all had the sexual fantasy of being raped by the nasty Nazi, so they had me dress in various items from my modest militaria collection, especially the jackboots and the 1942 pattern Stahlhelm, then go Christian Grey on them. Women are strange, especially women on the left.
No, I don't think I could handle it. I can accept that people have different opinions but if someone would be for something I am strictly against, things couldn't even get heated between us the right way lol
I like talking about a lot of those concepts even if they were really hot in the end it wouldn't probably be worth it

I have dated someone with opposite political beliefs who was sweet, very bright, and kinda cute but definitely not hot. Politics does not need to be at the center of a romantic relationship.
Yes , cuz I really don’t give 2 shits about political stuff to be honest , it’s all crooked shit period so I would never dislike someone because of that , I think it’s kind of funny that people
Get so wrapped up in it, like it Is really going
To affect their lives , if people actually took a step back and look back at all the other presidents we had , Did those presidents affect your life? The way I look at it is , whoever are president is give it to God And pray that president does his best to keep us safe , I would never base love off of which president they are going for , just like I wouldn’t base love off of what sport team they root for or what music they listen to , who gives a shit , if they have a heart and they are sweet and caring to me that’s all that mattersDepends on what that actually means, if I'm neutral, technically the opposite of my beliefs is extremism, and I'd rather not date a female Hitler/Stalin. Principles and intellect matter a whole lot more than actual political ideology, there are certain positions that you would only ever take if you didn't have the intellect to see its flaws. Politics generally doesn't have a "right" side, a Liberal and a Conservative can be right at the same time, given that they know what the hell they're talking about and have the intelligence to think about the issue critically. Basically, politics doesn't matter, moral principles and intellect do.
Hotness alone means very little. It's hard to imagine I'd be able to stand being around a hardcore trump supporter - which, let's be honest, there isn't really any other kind anymore (at least not my age). But if such a girl pleaded for anal every night and woke me up to recreational blow jobs every morning, I'd certianly try to tolerate her for as long as I could.
Well that depends are these people extremists in their views or are they moderates? Are they reasonable people or unreasonable? Etc, etc, etc.
Not all supporters are the same and it ain't right to generalize people because they swing one way or the other politically.Pretty sure as polarizing as Trump is, there isn't a democrat in this country that would want to be in a relationship with a Trump supporter. Might get a republican to be with a Biden supporter, but I just don't see it the other way around. One night stands though? Probably. Lol
It depends on whether she is extreme in her views and disagreements on political issues, not merely being in disagreement. If she stops being friends with people because of their politics or stops talking to family members over politics, I probably wouldn't date her either, or if she is consumed by politics.
Been there done that. Dated a Putin zealot because she was just irresistible. But slavic folks aren't like Americans. They don't talk politics 24/7. I could safely order a cheeseburger without being accused of being spreading American exceptionalism. I usually just kept quiet when it came to foreign policy and by the time Russia invaded Crimea we had split up.
Though we talked on the phone and chatted online. Boy did she hate America then.Depends if they're on an autistic spectrum about their beliefs. I've been in a relationship where a political discussion resulted in the cops being called on us. Was living in an apartment back then. I'll de-escalate and enjoy time with a hottie, it's just political beliefs. We're not firing a cannon in a neighborhood or sacrificing animals.
If they're not an extremist and respect our differences of opinion, then sure. Relationships shouldn't be politicised. But if she's literally an Antifa rioter or a screeching feminazi or a white supremacist or something extreme like that, then she'd just be a pain in the ass over the long haul because her personal politics would permeate the whole relationship
Well, there was a story about a guy on a dating app who would be considered a 10 in looks talking about being a pedophile on his profile. Many women still overlooked it and responded. If they overlook that then I'm sure many will overlook Political Beliefs that are the far opposite of them. I don't mind differing Political Beliefs. I just don't want anything too extreme.
My mindset on everything is not set in stone so in short i prefer someone try to win me over with facts then simply saying you haven't been threw this or that. Cause just saying that doesn't help me at all and it actually makes me even more against your idea
Well, i don't care much about politics anyway, as for religion, as i have no interest in it, i'd rather date someone with the same mindset as me, however, if we are able to respect each other's beliefs, i guess i wouldn't mind dating a religious girl !
she can be different to an extent but she can't be a left wing extremist
also: look how many women said no, women this generation are so brainwashed they'll just die bitter and alone while we go for the pool of much more attractive traditional womenOne night stand maybe. But not long term. Helll to the no. Political beliefs become a reflection in personal beliefs and we should treat each other and society
That's only worth it if you want a short lasting fling... but those beliefs would bring conflicts in a more serious relationship.
Complete opposite, as in don't agree on anything? We definitely aren't going to get along, and looks alone do not carry enough weight to overlook that fact. Nothing would.
I wouldn’t date them but I might hook up with them.
Naws, hotness does nothing for me if we can't share mutual views or agree to disagree.
I have done this a few times. Not because they were “hot”, but because we actually liked one another. At least for a moment. Regardless, they usually end things shortly after anyways.
