Could you date someone who was a strict Conservative?

[Puppystarfish23]

Me and my boyfriend are both right leaning but im definitely a lot more liberal than he is.

I love to party, I love drag, i love different cultures etc and im all together pretty open minded. My friends joke if i was a man id be gay. Im pretty camp and fabulous and my boyfriend loves it even if he doesn't understand it but we are extremely different in some ways.

My boyfriend lives in the country loves to fish, hunt and all that stuff. Im there in my glittery high heels whilst my boyfriend is in his hunter wellies covered head to toe in tweed and mud.

My next door neighbour is trans and i will amit we do make a few jokes about them mainly about how they dress because it's extremely inappropriate no matter there gender but my boyfriend just said it wasn't normal or right for them to be trans and we had a big debate about it. i actually support trans rights just as long as its for the right reasons and they are consenting adults.

When we have heated debates like this we usually agree to disagree but it does worry me if we were to ever have a LGBT child together what his reaction would be. He's a sweety deep down and actually has some gay friends of his own but i can't imagine his reaction if it was his own blood.

He wants to shoot animals too. I really don't know how to react to it. I personally could never kill a animal and when be told me he killed a dear i cried and we had a fight about it.

I will amit i do think more with my feelings over logic. Its just how most women are wired but i worry what are future will look like. Will he embrace my way of life or will i embrace his.

I could never date someone who said it "wasn't right" to be trans. That's just the epitome of small mindedness. Hard pass.

As for you, you have to decide how this is going to impact your future. You don't want to get pressured into a lifestyle that you don't agree with all because you love him. What concerns me is your self depreciating language about your feelings. Your feelings are valid and you have the right to be heard. Don't tolerate anyone giving you attitude that brushes off your "girly" feelings or any implication that you are being irrational or too soft.

I encourage you to stand firm by your values and beliefs whether you decide to stay with him or not.

I would date someone who is a strict conservative, mostly because I am somewhere in between you and strict, as to whether he or you should change to conform to the other, you both should be changing to be supportive for each other, he should be a bit less conservative and you should be a bit more, something like that.

Hopefully when you have children there won’t be trendsgenders and it’ll go back down to the < 1% of the population it normally is.

He kills deer and eats them. That’s more ethical than buying a factory farmed piece of chicken in a styrofoam tray.

No because I hate strict people. I like people who are pro freedom

Plus strict conservatives are always religious nuts and I hate religion

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I don't like extreme liberal nor conservative. I can't be attracted a strict conservative woman like that because the close mindness will turn me off.

[SumSimulits]

Sure. I am very traditionalist and fundamentalist, I want feudalism and absolute monarchy. My girlfriend is conservatist.

[GAGSucksBalls1]

If he's a true bigot which it sounds like he is, you'll have to ask yourself why you're with him, if you support everything he doesn't

[msc545]

It definitely sounds like you have the wrong boyfriend, sorry.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

My brother killed a bird and frog once. I forgive him now though...

[Madhatter920]

Are you sure you aren't more of a moderate?

[Puppystarfish23]

Probably. I believe people should live there life the way they want as long as its not hurting anyone and i try to be tolerate of everyone even if i disagree.

I wouldn't call my boyfriend radical. I just think he's not experienced enough around different types of people therefore doesn't understand. He's only ever been around like minded people so he's never had to look at things from a different point of view.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Can i ask from what country is your boyfriend?

[Puppystarfish23]

Britain

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Personal i will date a conservative person because i'm olso kinde conservative in my opinion.

[DudeDiligence]

I think you two are probably not compatible.

[t-bag_bagwell]

Which religion does your boyfriend belong to?

[Puppystarfish23]

He's not strictly religious. Technically he's Christian but he doesn't go church or anything

[t-bag_bagwell]

then you can train him and he will keep up with you

[Puppystarfish23]

He's pretty stubborn and can't amit when he's wrong but i think eventually with time he will learn for himself

[t-bag_bagwell]

be patient

[Jamie05rhs]

It probably won't work out, tbh.

[michael1469]

Hell no, i can't stand stupid people.
