This week, Damona takes on a question from longtime listener Vernee, who’s back in the dating scene after a hiatus… and hitting a wall when it comes to finding someone who shares her political and social justice values.

Vernee asks: "I'm politically progressive, very values-driven, and living in a purple state. I've tried everything — hints in my profile, direct chats — but nothing’s working. Where are the men who believe what I believe?"

If you’ve ever wondered how to communicate what matters without scaring people off — or how to find someone who’s actually aligned — this one’s for you.

In this episode:
• Why dating apps might feel harder now than they did just a few years ago
• How political identity and core values have become deeply intertwined
• What to say in your profile (and what to leave out)
• Why texting about politics rarely works — and what to try instead
• Where to meet values-aligned people beyond the apps
• The line between staying open-minded and lowering your standards
