No. Most are conservative but I have a few moderate to liberal friends. My girlfriend is a liberal and actually considers herself to be a socialist (I think that's pushing it though). I'd say that I'm the most conservative in the group though. You wouldn't have as much fun if everyone was the same.

Sorry but she would absolutley despise someone like you. You two would not get along. While she is a social liberal, she would hate your obsession with drinking and strippers. It's weird because she has no personal tolerance for things that liberals usually defend to the death. Her social liberalism isn't as strong as her economic stances.

I couldn't personally get along with someone who drinks and goes to strip clubs.

I am the same way. You should hear her complaints with drug use, drinking, etc. It would be funny to see how she'd handle BRTD and Flyers.

From what you're telling me, probably not good.  So I take it she's more populist than I?  I would not get along with a lot of liberal women in a relationship.  Even if she may be pro-choice, it is very likely she would detest my other behaviors such as drinking, occassional smoking (cigs and the green stuff).  A pro-choice woman does not mean a sexually permiscuous one either, but then again I've passed on opportunites because I didn't click with the person either.  One thing that may surprise you Phil is I would wait a while before I'd have sex with someone after meeting them.  It may also surprise you I personally detest one night stands, but don't mind others that have them.

She really wouldn't be able to stand you. I'd just love to see her reaction though. And I wouldn't say that being opposed to one night stands but having sex on maybe the second or third date is really a strong value, Flyers.

I'm going to guess she's pro-choice and pro-gay marriage but hates people who drink, do drugs and are sex-crazed. Right?

Pretty much.

Hell, I was at a party once with a girl I was not really interested in and her hand was on my crotch after knowing her for only 15 minutes. 

Thank you.
