How important is it that you share the same religious, sexual, social, political, as your partner?

Religious: Must believe in God, have religious morals like kindness and humility and accept me the way I believe and worship.

Sexual: No anal or oral and no tongue. No pregnancy sex. Unlimited obesity allowed during and shortly after giving birth. Must help me with meals if he thinks I’m fat or no right to complain about my size.

Social: Not too conservative and not too liberal, not too suspicious and not too trusting, not too stingy and not blindly generous. Polite but not overwhelmingly self sacrificial.

Political: Must not support bullying or ethics meandering to get a tax cut. Must be considerate of human rights that extend beyond mere pride and ego. Must not be confrontational or full of hate. Must not use lying to support political goals.

Religious - Not too important, but I'd like it if he'd believe in God
Sexual - I'm kinky so he'd have to match that
Social - As long as he's not a neonazi or some flying bigot
Political - Couldn't care less

I think they're extremely important but social and political differences are fine as long as you can amicably speak about your differences in opinion factual and without resorting to ad hominems.

I was only with one girl like this and it changed my perspective, I originally thought we had to align politically. She changed that perspective for me but the majority of women (and men) don't research their views yet feel extremely strongly about them and can't defend them. That's how arguments with ad hominems and angry emotions start

To me religion is extremely important though and I would not be with an outspoken atheist.

Political is not as important as the others, but the others are very important and it's not because you want to partner with someone who is in moralistic alignment with you and share similar values.

Sexual compatibility is an monster on it's own as it alone can be a relationship killer.

[AviatorTom]

Not at all. If you share the exact same everything, the relationship is boring. It's good to have some different beliefs, opinions and values.

[Ευδεμονια]

I think honestly we should have approximately the same way of seeing life, it’s not important agreeing on the single things, maybe sharing moral values and overall vision of the world (weltanshauung) can be decisive but I honestly don’t care we have different opinion on the various things, I just ask she’ll respect mine.
To me it’s more important there’s balance and mutual respect in the relationship, opinions on things may vary during time and with personal experience.

[HawkPerception]

Very important. I've tried dating girls with different religious, political, and moral views and it always ends up with conflict so intense that it becomes a large factor towards the reason whatever we have going ends.

Compatibility is all about similarities in terms of views, interests, sense of humor, communication style, sexual compatibility, and physical attraction. The more similarities you have, the more compatible you are.

[CrabCakes11]

Religious: I won’t date a religious person

Sexual: my boyfriend isn’t ask kinky as me, but it’s fine since we experiment and I still enjoy vanilla sex

Social: As long as they aren’t severely conflicting with my beliefs it’s fine

Political: as long as they’re left leaning it’s fine.

I'd say it's fairly important - I don't think differences would help build affection 💕😉 - personally for me. And also it's so tough to be in sync with aging, or views change. Or what if one partner goes left the other for right. Etc etc.
No wonder aging and times and external factors are the real bug bears of relationship downfalls - forget the two happy couple in their ownsome

[paledreams]

It'd make life easier as well, the sex more passionate and intense, and the overall healthiness of the relationship a high standard 😬😆😘😘😋

[meepmeeperton]

If you’re a man and a woman loves you, she will more or less mold to similar beliefs to you over time. It’s why politically left women with right wing men is such a stereotype.

[exitseven]

it is very important. People say opposites attract but I imagine after a while it would get to be a real bummer to be married to somebody who had a totally different view of life.

[paledreams]

Then again, too similar and they're always bumping into each other's way or routine badly : true?

[paledreams]

"I was gonna do X Y Z now" 😅😅

[electromagnetic]

Religious for sure as it helps to solidify how we will raise our children. Everything else is not important to me.

[4ngelic]

it's not that important to have the exact same ideas but we need to agree sort of on a lot of things. or else it will cause problems

[LazerBean]

Extremely, the lack of those would be immediate deal breakers.

[Nikki1989]

Well, nothing is going to work in the long-term if we don't share the same views.

[LiamJHayden]

General world view, yes. To me, the least important of these by far is political. Unless she is a full blown totalitarian or racist I can get along with her.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Religious, sexual and social are the most important to me.

I don't care for her politics.

[lightbulb27]

Want to hvw peace amd low stress at home.

[Loner111]

Same views, feelings means a working relationship.

[CubaPirate]

Whats height got to do with it

[Cheerfull009]

Yes, I consider

[DishLady]

Pretty important.

[Anonymous]

What do you mean by sexual?

[Charliefretz329]

Vital importance

[Charliefretz329]

It’s your base code, your standard for everything else
