Being active in this way doesn't mean forcing your views down other people's throats. Don't conflate the two. It also doesn't mean that you get a free pass to living a terrible life where your are horrible to everyone in your immediate interpersonal relations. For me, I feel like political and social activism simply means standing up for what you believe in and living according to those beliefs without imposing your beliefs on others. Being socially or politically active, your are not forcing other people's hands in any way, but exercising your participation in democratic processes and expressing your own agency (to me, the essence of this in practice is inherently contrary to any knd of hegemony). In a democracy you also have the right to refrain from participating and that's fine, too. You don't have to vote. You don't have to let your local or governmental representatives know your opinions on any matters. And you can completely skip over talking about any political or social issues with your friends and family. Perhaps you think the whole system is corrupted by money and what you say or think doesn't matter one bit. But also know that you are willfully giving up any potential influence you cold have on matters that may have profound effects on your life and the lives of family members and neighbors. Health care, education, and other social services as well as your rights and freedoms. We hardly live in little enclosed bubbles, there's a larger societal context that will impact us regardless of whether we awknowledge it or not. It may be ok with you to be with someone who could care less about these issues. Personally, I would like someone to be more mindful and less whishy-washy on these matters. Of course that doesn't mean that they have to commit their lives to certain causes, but for me I feel like they at least have to genuinely care enough to vote (or consciously refrain from voting because, while knowledgable of the issues at hand, they strongly disagree with all measure and candidates on the ballot) and talk intelligently about social and political issues.
Thats a perfectly fair and reasonable answer! Although I wouldn't lead off with that when you're on a date too many men are afraid of intelligent girls and if you start talking about democratic process and agency you're going to scare off the bulk of any potential suitors.
scientifically speaking guys have bigger brains than girls. smart girl will have huge forehead i don't wanna fuk alien no thanks.
I'm going to revise my answer: Someone who I can be completely goofy and ridiculous with, who will make me laugh often and is quick to smile. I think that's the most attractive thing ever.
To be consistently a friend till the end..and not just in good times. Someone who will accept you for everything that you are flaws and all. Looks and status, changes and eventually fades in time. I'm not into that superficial stuff. A guy must have a heart and knows how to stick it up when bad time comes and a guy who knows how to open up to me when I need to know something I may not necessarily like to hear..even if things did not work out between us, I won't find fault. It's just difficult to look up to a guy who not only left you without saying what should've been said between the two of you, but putting your skeletons out in public in the open to degrade you even more...putting all the blame on you..pointing a finger at ya that you're no good...no matter how mad one person may be..no one has the fucking right to be humiliated as such.
