Dating plentyoffish

This situation, while annoying, inspired me to conduct an experiment.I decided to change my POF photos the same way I had my OKC photos and see what kind of messages I got.I don’t expect everyone to feel as strongly as me on this issue, and some non-Trump supporters may very well be willing to date a supporter, and that’s their choice.That linked post goes into why I won’t do so, but regardless, the point of a dating site is to find someone who meets your personal preferences.I added these two pictures to my profiles: I felt like these photos served a few purposes.
Most messages flooding my inbox, of course, just said “hey how are you” because no one is original, especially on POF.I left the paragraph about not wanting to date Trump supporters in there, and just added the two photos and did nothing else.I stayed off the site unless I got an e-mail about a message, I didn’t look at anyone’s profile unless they messaged me, I avoided being active on the site in really any way unless I got a message.POF is attached to an e-mail I don’t use that much, so I had missed all the other e-mails about messages I’d gotten over the past few months.
Funny enough, I guess I was meant to see this particular message, because I logged on and it was a message from the original racist.
I can accept some political differences with a person I’m dating, and normally I wouldn’t really care who you voted for in a presidential election, but my fears and concerns about this upcoming administration go beyond any typical difference of opinion/political party/etc (let’s be serious, Donald Trump is only pretending to be a republican anyway, so this isn’t my way of saying I won’t date republicans).
