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.
