The Women's Center: Political Love

Political Love

Today, I came across an article on Jezebel that talks about this new dating site that pairs you up with your "perfect running mate". RedStateDate and BlueStateDate are designed to pair people of similar economic, social, and global issues together to form the perfect union. Basiclly, the site, created by a 27 year old Californian named Alexander Fondrier, is designed to set people up that share the same political beliefs.
Personally, I think this site is both hilarious and genius. I mean, might as well get that awkward question of red or blue out of the way. Plus, if your political views are that important to who you are as a person, it would be nice if those beliefs could be matched with someone similar.

I really want to create a profile just to see what happens because I think this site is too great. If any of you make one let me know of your results!!
