Men Would Marry Despite Opposite Political Views Basics

For a whopping majority of Americans, relationship comes before political views. A poll by Pair (dating app to find the right person), conducted between 6/25/14 and 8/25/14, shed light on the subject.

During the poll people answered the question: "Would you ever date someone with the complete opposite political views?" Results were as follows: "Yes" — 72%, "No" — 28%.

Ian Kerner, a sexuality counselor and New York Times best-selling author, emphasizes that respect for your partner and his or her beliefs should be paramount. "Don't define yourself by your political affiliation. With every political view is a possible discussion where you can learn about your partner," says Ian. "If a couple doesn't share political views, they may still have good communication and conflict resolution skills, a healthy sex life, shared goals, and similar interests," he adds.

Those polled numbered 35,879. From the USA — 54%, from Canada — 4%, from Britain — 12%, from Australia — 7% and other countries — 23%.

Alex Cusper, Pair service analyst, believes that in this particular situation the political culture of a country doesn't play a significant role. Regardless of their involvement in politics, all people value the importance of a good relationship. Of course, it's hard work, but perhaps these couples are far more open-minded and patient.

Pair, a leading mobile dating service, regularly conducts research among its users. Millions of people from the U.S., Canada, Britain and Australia answer hundreds of questions every month.
