    To be fair, I don’t go out much, but that’s partly because I’m in the middle of nowhere and there’s like nothing out here. On dating apps the men I see pretty much always have their political views set to conservative or moderate.

    I did go to a bar in the cities once and I did meet a guy I liked there but nothing ever came of it. I do get the impression that men in the cities are likely much better than where I live, but I haven’t spent much time in the cities though.

    I am also thinking about when I was in highschool, specifically a yeehaw highschool, and my impression was that most guys would rather eat crayons than pay attention in class. Those guys also had loser flags on their trucks despite us being in a northern union state, and there were a lot of them. Though I did have some guy friends who were chill, I felt like they were in the minority.

      It’s definitely a city vs rural thing then. And this is not unique to the US. Being in the city forces you to be aware that there are many different people with many different backgrounds in the world, and you are forced to interact with them daily. It makes it a lot easier to accept homosexuality, for example, if you actually interact with gay people and realize that we all aren’t so different from each other.
