There’s some truth to this, I’m fairly open-minded/liberal/etc., and the women I date tend to be tolerant of this, and often fairly similar to me in that way. However, one of the most conventional/conservative ones most definitely was into it. She was highly conventional in any other way I can think of. A practicing Christian of the Baptist faith, good government job, etc.. ---
