The Everygirl Media Group
About this episode

#171: Today's Ask The Everygirl Question is: "Is there a graceful way to make sure you're politically aligned with someone before the first date? In a climate like this, I don't want to go on a date–let alone several–only to find out he doesn't think I should have rights. Sincerely, an Everygirl who keeps accidentally attracting conservatives." To answer the question, Josie is joined by Everygirl editor, McKenna Pringle, to have a conversation about the intersection between politics and dating: how much being politically aligned matters for compatibility, the trad wife phenomenon, and how to address politics both on the apps and on a first date to filter out people you don't align with.
