Left wing by far

Having participated in the modern dating market, it's pretty staggering how different your reception is 'on the apps' with moderate in your bio versus left-wing. Changing that one detail literally 4x'd my response rate.

Exactly. The 5 people left who still care about COVID are also likely fervently blue tribe so it is completely pointless for Trump to try and appeal to them.

I honestly feel a lot of the COVID hawks just assume the vaccine was a lot more effective than it actually is, and thus happily just kind of said 'Oh, vaccine's available, back to normal life' whilst simultaneously overrating the impact of COVID & the vaccine by a major factor.
Also I've got friends who are still habitual maskers, but the majority were germophobes & borderline OCD-types even before the pandemic who've now got license to indulge their pre-existing instincts and interests.

Yeah but these standards aren't upheld for tragic losers of other vanquished nations. Sitting Bull's vision for America likely falls far short of the current USA on practically every metric, but he gets a monument as a vainglorious upstart who fought for what he believed in.

No amount of makeup and toning is going to make a 55-year-old woman physically attractive to the broad majority of men, much less a 70-year-old woman
This is going to shock you, but there are older men who'll enthusiastically pursue the same level of simping for an older woman in reasonable shape. I know 50 year old women who are essentially still existing off flirtation and prettiness

Not a doctor, but as somebody who did a lot of dating in the last year or so in UMC circles in Australia,, I was pretty flabbergasted by both the sheer amount of UK medicos that'd relocated down here + the conditions they reported financially & work-wise. These were caring, type-A, intelligent women and largely just decided post COVID years that they no longer had any interest in continuing to engage with the system in the UK.

There hasn't been a single invasion going out from India in recorded history
Feels like pretty obvious geographic barriers unless they'd like to invade... Sri Lanka? It's either desert, the Himalayas or deepest darkest jungles.

I'd guess you've got a lot more visibility of food service workers doing their jobs than you do of white collar workers doing their jobs. I do agree that there's a significant level of wandering away from the point with the visas, but I'd imagine the majority of food service workers you're seeing are in the country on educational visas (even if there are a lot of shambolic nothing institutions springing up as glorified visa mills) and supporting themselves that way.

Potentially lockdown conditions caused more of a pentup energy/less access to other activities that'd otherwise serve as a natural distraction.
Also my understanding of 2020 was that a lot of rioters weren't even necessarily local to the areas they were rioting in, which surely would contribute to the ability to stay focused.

Wouldn't say so much tutors, but recruiting tours with this kind of stuff are very common.

Which groups are you using as a proxy? Every major demographic started as a downtrodden immigrant group. Practically the only lasting pro-left successful immigrant group I can think of is the Asian diaspora, though they've been psyopped into some sort of 'despite the fact that you're the most successful and affluent demographic ever, you're victims' mix

Sarah is correct that the modern alliance between liberal progressives and Muslims was a marriage of convenience that took advantage of some unusual culture war circumstances, but it's a tryst that was bound to fray apart given the fundamental policy disagreements. One of the efforts to keep the bandwagon held together comes from what Sarah terms Muslims in Name Only (MINOs):
Honestly this is the case for the vast majority of allegiances between immigrant/refugee groups and Liberalism. It is quickly forgotten by the Western Left that practically everybody from a progressive-tinged first world nation is about 5 jumps to the left socially on most issues, and that whilst the recent imports from wherever else are briefly aligned whilst it's in their financial interests to have a leg up, they are going to revert to form on social issues the second they're established.

I’ve been fascinated by the fact that even the richest among us are only surviving because Mother Earth decided not to crush them today. Seems like these people just had their luck run out, and maybe made a really stupid decision?
Honestly having hung out with a bunch of HNW individuals in Startup & Trading spheres, having low impulse control and the urge to go all-in on hare-brained schemes is one of the chief paths to being outlier rich... though obviously leads to a bunch of collapses along the wayside that nobody particularly cares for.

“Asian romantic preferences are morally permissible.” Pro
As in preferring Asian women? I feel like there's a lot to unpack here in which men may prefer Asian women for certain attributes that aren't necessarily racial.
Most of my dating has been WMAF and it's more due to wanting a petite, intelligent, agreeable socially-conservative woman without somebody else's kids. 90% of that stock in my area happens to be Asian and therefore I date a lot of Asian girls.

Surely a big chunk of that has to be the whole 'broken home to begin with' correlation moreso than the specific malignance of step-parents.

Exactly. Transmen pass a lot easier since nobody's taking huge efforts to tell the difference between petite, scrawny (or frankly in a lot of cases, rubenesque-but-short) guys and girls if they're signaling to the world they're a male through outfit or grooming choices.

Yeah but the amount of people who'd outwardly self-identify as Socialist/Marxist influenced is far greater than the amount of people who'd outwardly self-identify as fascist.

It's important to not spread made up facts to counter made up facts. It's true both that some masks work and that most mask wearing is theater.
Some masks work*
- if applied by a medical hygienist with utmost attention to following our simple 50-point guideline on how to best utilize your N95

This is not how N95 masks work. Their filtering efficiency is better for very small and very large particles than for medium ones. This is why people wear N95s (or better) when dealing with much more serious diseases than covid.
Yeah but they're wearing them with utmost attention to hygiene, regular replacements and full mask discipline for short periods of time

You can predict that an account that follows a college subreddit, the NFL subreddit, the Tinder subreddit and some videogame subreddits is a young, single, college-age male, but that’s nowhere close to the data that Meta has on that person’s account.
Honestly in my experience as an advertiser/buyer-of-ads I've found a lot more productive use out of interest data/short-funnel than demographic stuff. Vast majority of people I know who interface with Facebook as an advertiser privately admit that it doesn't seem to accomplish anything, and the only time it does is when you let Facebook run its own attribution model/targeting (and essentially mark its own homework), in which it will forensically, passionately, accurately locate your existing customers and preach to the choir
Atleast you're aware of the situation.
I find that the majority of blue-tribe girls are actually a lot more conservative than they self-identify, it's just you've got to report fealty to the big topline shibboleths and the power level will reveal itself in a few months.
