How Politics Is Changing Dating and Relationships in the Trump Era

AEI.ORG - Feb 5 - A 2017 study by eHarmony found that almost half of users mention Trump, either positively or negatively, in their profiles. Some dating apps have even been created with a specific political group in mind, such as Conservatives Only and TrumpSingles. 63% of Americans say they would not consider dating someone whose views on Trump differ from their own. Trump is more of a deal breaker for women than men. Nearly seven in 10 (69%) of women say they would be unwilling to date someone whose views of the president did not align with their own. Educational background appears to matter little to Americans in deciding whom to date. They care more about religion, lifestyle and life goals, spending habits. Most Americans who are currently married or in committed relationships say they were not aware of the politics of their spouse or partner before they started dating. Younger adults are more likely than are older adults to say they were aware of their partner's political views before they started their relationship.

Loving or Hating Trump Is a Big Deal Breaker

DESERET NEWS - Oct 10 - According to the 2017 American Family Survey, the overwhelming majority of Americans who are married report that their spouse belongs to the same political party. Surveys from the Pew Research Center indicate people now are more likely to marry someone of a different race or religion than to cross party lines to find a husband or wife. While Conservatives Only, one of the most established platforms, launched during the Obama administration, a handful of other right-leaning online dating services have been created since. Trump Singles was released just a few months before the 2016 presidential election, but the website no longer appears to be in operation. Patrio, with a mission to "bring right-leaning individuals together" came on the scene in 2017. DonaldDaters and Righter, the newest of the bunch, were released in 2018. Righter encourages women to be ladylike and men to make the first move. Emily Moreno, the founder of Donald Daters, told Vox that anti-conservative discrimination was one of her reasons for creating the app last year. She said she once had a date walk out on her after she told him she worked on a Republican Senate campaign. There are a number of dating websites for the left-leaning singles as well, including NeverTrump.dating, a response to Trump.dating, Democratic People Meet and Liberal Hearts, which welcomes all left-leaning and progressive daters including LGBTQ people. CandiDate is a nonpartisan app that explores each user's political preferences in order to make matches based on their beliefs on issues like the environment, economy, gun reform, abortion and gay rights.

The Rise of Right-wing Dating Apps

VOX.COM - Dec 26 - In recent years, a crop of conservative dating startups have launched. Some, like Righter and Conservatives Only, are only for conservatives. Others, like Donald Daters claim they're open to people of all political stripes who are interested in dating Republicans. Bumble has recently introduced a "filtering" feature that lets people weed out matches who don't meet their political, astrological, or lifestyle preferences. Emily Moreno, the founder of Donald Daters, said she once had a date walk out on her after she said she had worked on a Republican Senate campaign. Earlier this year, Politico magazine documented the dating trials of millennial Trump staffers, many of whom claimed that supporting the president makes them outcasts - even in Washington, DC. A 2017 survey by OkCupid found that 74% of its users considered voting for Trump a deal breaker. Donald Daters launched in October and claimed 20K downloads in the first few weeks after launch. Righter takes a different approach than Donald Daters. Righter is "for us, by us," founder Christy Edwards Lawton said. "Us," of course, means conservatives. Lawton said she got the idea for Righter after meeting a "beautiful" woman at a Republican fundraiser in Manhattan whose politics interfered with her dating life.
