I’m not of a white background and I find libertarian men very attractive because of their passion about liberty.
Thanks for making this clear. lol
Suggestion; edit the OP?
Don’t be. Since from earlier posts it seems you’re still at school so I wouldn’t be surprised if most of your peers wouldn’t be able to tolerate serious political discussions, never mind those outside of the norm.
If there’s anything I’ve learned though, it is not to hide your passions and interests, but to share them. This is because they are a part of you, and you are ultimately what other people and women want to get to know and find interesting. It’s also important to not be dismissive, but to show a genuine interest in others.
Sorry for the mini peptalk, I’m sure you don’t need one…
I’m a sort of pale pink…does that count? [:P]
…Somthing tells me that you’re gonna be very popular on this site/any Libertarian event that you go to.
What do you mean?
That’s not what your avatar suggests. [:P]
Who the hell cares about race these days? It is so hard to take people seriously who do. BTW, my grandparents were from North Africa. When do I get my medal?
… Quite frankly some of the discussions I’ve had with some black people about things like affirmative actionn would really care to differ.
Why do people keep asking if they get gifts for being non-white? This thread was created in response to someone who asked why all libertarians were old white men. Btw, have this: [^] [:D]
Just messing around.
Adressing some of the other posters:
I usually get mixed reactions from women, some embrace the ideas with open arms, others just roll their eyes.
That’s life, and pretty much people in general I think, I’ve never found I click with everyone.
One of my housemates thinks I’m a complete nut with this stuff, and I think he’s a close minded statist baffoon as far as economics goes, but I generally try to avoid discussing it with him now, so it’s not such a big deal.
An overwhelming proportion of young people are statist baffoons. Yoiu should see some of the shouting matches that erupt in my political science classes. It’s pretty intense! I’ve found that most of the Muslim students there really tend to like me (since there is such a strong anti- Muslim setiment).
To be fair, it’s been about 4 years since I’ve been at high school, and that was in the UK and back then I was a statist but beginning to sympathise with the free market. I think I was lucky to have gone to a grammar school actually, since finding out about the Austrian school, I can realise the wisdom in my old History teacher’s cynicism…
My experience may have been quite different to yours. I’ve found most people to not be particularly passionate about economic or political issues, so essentially you have a minority of passionate interventionists, and a majority of mild statists.
You might find people who are not so passionate easier to convince, or people who are passionate, since at least they seem to care.
Politics never seemed to make girls dislike me. Religion on the other hand…
Where was this? She could be our “Obama Girl”. Libertarian Girl.
I grabbed this from the Newport Beach Mises Circle photo album.
