Dating & Politics - Heating things up in the bedroom or throwing a wet blanket on things?

OKCupid has done a poll with their Canadian members to get their take on dating leading up to the 2019 Federal Election in a few months (sample questions include: what’s more attractive in a partner, 'exercising' or 'exercising your right to vote'?, talking politics on a date - yay or nay? Dating someone with different political views - red flag or deal breaker?).

Turns out the answers largely depend on your generation - for instance, 78% of Gen Z women said they would prefer that their dates get out and vote, while that number drops dramatically for Gen X women (only 11%!). When asked to choose what’s more attractive in a partner, “exercising” or “exercising your right to vote”, 78% of Gen Z women said they would prefer that their matches get out and vote. 50% of Millennial women agree - although that number falls to only 11% for Gen X women.
