Persia Lynn said. How do you bring up religion, girl? By just bringing it up. Now there used to be some old school dating rules, like don't talk about religion or politics. No shade, bitch. You're gonna have to talk about it and I want you to talk about it early. And the reason is, one, it's an election year, so it's gonna be on like top of mind for a lot of different people. And two, the research is saying that men are actually becoming more conservative and women are becoming more liberal. And that is a value misalignment, right? So you're going to want to know about their religion, you're going to want to know about their political leanings, right? So you can figure out if you have the same values or not.
Don't act cute and mute here. Bring it up. Don't be cute about it. Hey, so what would you say? Like, did you grow up religious or spiritual? What did that look like for you?
Right, Politics. So you know, where do you lean politically and why?
Straight up, don't try to be cute about a girl, don't do that.
