I do not because putting that I'm trans has basically the same effect. Idk it's easy to filter out the extreme chuds, but obnoxious libs are harder to avoid.

The idea of a dating profile is giving me anxiety

dating profile geordi-no

[–] daisy@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Yes. I have in my profiles: "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs, and let me tell you darling, my abilities can fill a lot of needs."

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

I'm not dating but when I did I would put everything in it that might make people disinterested. I don't want to pretend I'm not a communist (or that I'm a cool person who likes to go to music festivals and big parties, or that I'm not into Star Trek out MtG). Just be totally honest about yourself so the people who reach out to you are reaching out to you and not a person that it will make you anxious to pretend to be.

That being said I was never looking to just hook up, but to find a partner for an LTR. If you just want to fuck the calculus is probably different.

i only use them occasionally for hookups, but yeah i do
filters out the chuds

[–] booty@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

When I did try my hand at online dating I mentioned it, yeah. I figure I probably can't handle dating someone who wouldn't be willing to date a communist. It's just a filter that would've been hit eventually anyway. It's not like I hide my political views. I just ranted about palestine to a new coworker the other day lmao

I put "Leftist, BLM, Bipolar" in mine. They're gonna find out eventually, why not screen your calls?

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, as well as my height and weight. They form my tri-fected chud filter.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

The amount of people that require someone be 6+ inches taller than them is too damn high. Anyone that has that shit is an instant no

[–] ilyenkov@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I do. And it's because I want people to know I'm a communist. Why waste time with anyone who's gonna have problem with that?

[–] KittyBobo@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I have the words "Es geht durch die Welt ein Geflüster. Arbeiter, hörst du es nicht?" But I use the color tool to make the text the same color as the background so you have to highlight it to see.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Not really, but then again I don't identify as a communist.

I have exactly one political opinion: Only dogs should have the vote.

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Filthy revisionist, only cats are supposed to have the right to vote!

[–] Silver_coralsea@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Comrades! You are both wrong, the only living creature that should have the right to vote is of course, stingrays. What the fuck else are they here on earth for?

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Actually giving cats the vote can wreak havoc on the local wildlife.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

No, because people have very inconsistent views of what 'communist' means. It's not that I'm not proud of it, just that people are liable to not understand when just reading text. Any commie that viewed my profile would probably work it out from other statements anyway.
