This is for all men and women, not broken down by different factors.

When an average is taken of all the elections, men average 43.67% for Democrat and 50% for Republican for a 6.33% difference. I do also think it’s notable that in only one election since 2000 has the support for Republican candidates from men been under 50%, that’s 48% for McCain in 2008. I honestly think the voting patterns from the 90’s are gone and so while I included those in the averages, I think just touching on votes since 2000 gives a clearer picture with the average for men supporting the Democratic candidate at 44.14% and support for the Republican candidate at 52.58% for an 8.44% difference. That’s still a large spread when we’re talking the total number of men who vote at all. Somewhere around the size of the entire city of Los Angeles in terms of population.

I mean…

Looking at mic_check’s figures…

Lets say we are just talking straight, hetero people.

We got all straight men at 43:55 Dem to Rep, thats a 22% higher chance of a woman picking a Rep instead of a Dem.

Meanwhile you can just, as a woman who is looking into dating a man…

Just pick a random, single, never married dude.

Bam!, now its 61:37 Dem to Rep, a 65% higher chance a random, never married dude will be a Dem than a Rep.

…

We are talking about these stats in the context of dating, right?

Where people like, talk, get to know each other?

Not just being randomly assigned partners from a slot machine?

Do dating apps not like, allow you to filter by something like this, or… talk/chat to a person, and ask them questions before you meet them…?

Its kind of silly to paint individual people with a broadly accurate brush… when the ostensible whole point is to get to know a person individually.

Sure, use broad stats to form a broadly accurate general worldview, but realize its limitations.
