Nonetheless I\u2019m not looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is straight forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Statistically all gay men are Democrats. Sure, there are actually some republican gay men, and there are some conservative gay men. However their numbers are so vanishingly small as to be numerically insignificant. Therefore they don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Given the premise that all gay men are Democrats and all Democrats are liars, it follows that all gay men are liars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure there are gay men who are not liars, but statistically the number of honest gay men must be so close to zero, as to be functionally zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Since I don\u2019t like liars, I\u2019m expecting for dating to be pretty unpleasant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>My other half was a Democrat when we met. I was a Republican. That was back when gay men were just happy to find someone else who loved them and didn\u2019t care about stupid crap like politics. Sure, we canceled each others votes out for years, but over time, we both moved to a more centrist view and then both left our respective political parties so we could hurl insults at Democrats <strong>and<\/strong> Republicans, without being hypocrites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The process of us moving toward more centrist beliefs took many years, and honestly, it was a fun process. We both learned a lot. Mostly, we learned that we loved each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>I doubt I have that many years ahead of me so I\u2019m not going to engage in another long term conversion project. I have decided in general that I\u2019m not going to date Democrats. Of course rules are made to be broken and someone who is particularly interesting could be forgiven their political insanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Given what I\u2019ve seen with the dating apps &amp; sites. I\u2019ll Pass! I think I\u2019ll find a bar or pub that\u2019s comfortable when I want to be around people and other than that I\u2019ll just live my life doing the things I want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>There are things I\u2019m interested in and perhaps with a little discretion I\u2019ll find other guys who are interested in those things too. Maybe I\u2019ll just get some nice subtle rainbow items. (Old rainbow not that new abomination!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Something to hang on my backpack or dive gear, small but noticeable to the discerning eye. Possibly I\u2019ll add some swag from my political party affiliation too. I could also add some swag from the<em> Atlas Shrugged<\/em> website\u2026 That would be over most people\u2019s heads, but some might get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>This adornment might be off-putting to most, but to the kind of folks I\u2019m interested in hanging out with, or knowing in the biblical sense, it might be a way of winnowing the wheat from the chaff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, I could simply resolve to confine my dating to nothing more than prostitutes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour cash is on the counter Chad, thanks for the mediocre blowjob, now get out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>I must admit that does seem to be more direct, more convenient, and quite possibly cheaper \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I\u2019m still a ways off from that.
