    Does anyone know how common it is for people to pretend to be socialists to hit on someone? I am always incredible anxious to let anyone I don't know know how I feel politically.

      Obama did it. obama-sad

      oof

      "Looking back, it’s embarrassing to recognize the degree to which my intellectual curiosity those first two years of college paralleled the interests of various women I was attempting to get to know: Marx and Marcuse so I had something to say to the long-legged socialist who lived in my dorm; Fanon and Gwendolyn Brooks for the smooth-skinned sociology major who never gave me a second look; Foucault and Woolf for the: ethereal bisexual who wore mostly black. As a strategy for picking up girls, my pseudo-intellectualism proved mostly worthless; I found myself in a series of affectionate but chaste friendships."

      It’s common for a lot of people to feign interest in anything to hit on someone. But the thing is that it’s very easy to spot because few people are committed enough to a single person to learn more about a topic they don’t agree with or care about

            Wait, are you trying to tell me that the girl I talked to at a bar last week wasn't really interested in the dropsite massacre of Istvaan V?

                I am shocked beyond measure by this revelation. I shall retreat into my study and ponder the endless void of the universe until I feel I can trust again.

      I once had a guy say he would take me to the bars and we'd tell women that I was a med student. "I don't want to lie to get women to fuck me?"

      It happens but you can usually spot them because they can't be fucked to do the bare minimum of research and only spout the highlights from a Wikipedia article on Marxism.
