Judging

@2much

No.

Conservative <> Maga

There are also numerous stories in the media that state that the Villages is full of STDs and Swingers. Somehow, someway, the roughly 100+ swingers that live in the area constitute a huge amount and it is prevalent. It is an area of 150k+ people. People's perception is based upon what the media tells them. I gave a birds eye personal interpretation, with the only bias being what I saw when I was there.

It was enough for us to say, "Nope, not for us at this age. Perhaps if we were late 70s, yes."

Well, you used a few hundred words to tell us that the Villages were mostly conservative. We knew that already.

But thanks for the socio-political geography lesson anyway.

So for "us" we tell people when we meet in person.. we dont care what your politics or religion is we will not discuss it

in other words, the conversation is not happening with "us" !

"The point is people who can't hang with other people based solely on politics."

Is that your point or the OP's point?

/runs from getting hit.

I was staying on the OP's point. I didn't expand it.

Gotta make sure conversations stay in their lane.

OK Central, that's just nasty.

I like the way you think.

LMFAO

Don't judge me for using that acronym. I will hunt you down with my dogs and they will lick you to death.

Bitches don't judge, they like everybody.

If people want to mix politics with sex in conversation with me then they'll have to prepare themselves to deal with the mental image of Biden and Trump in a butt nekkid 69.

We prefer green areas.

And, as I have said for over 15 years on these forums, I judge everyone.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

I know about the reputation of the Villages... not living under a rock here.

The point is people who can't hang with other people based solely on politics.

We didn't stop hanging with the couple we both know based on their crazy political stance. They just stopped having parties.

@2much

Long post? yes.

Missing the point? no.

Your and other's point was that people should not judge and that the couple who judged were wrong. I pointed out that they had a valid basis for their belief.

See, this would make no sense to you, but would to people in the geography. And this is a hypothetical, "I am not meeting with anyone from Century Village because there are no christ on a cross people there." Do you know anything about Century Village? I doubt it. But those that live in South Florida know that Century Village is basically 50k old jews, generally from New York/New Jersey in a 55+ place.

So you know nothing about the villages, but are judging against those that know the area. Hmm. :) And as we both know a couple that bleeds red, can they be quiet about it? When you first meet them, yes. Once you are there, NO.

Dude, that was a long post that kind of misses the point.

Ok, it is interesting and funny to read the responses. In theory, it sounds good, sounds realistic. In reality, the other couple is not wrong.

My wife and I spent memorial day weekend where this person lives. The other couple is NOT wrong. Sure, it is not 100%, but it is highly prevalent.

The area that the OP lives in is 145k 55+ people in Central - North Central Florida. There are about 80 communities there and most would know those communities as 'gated' communities. They are not, well, all but one is. What the villages did was work with the counties to have the infrastructure built, aka public roads, then built around it. Then they put in gates! Yes, it looks like you are going through a security gate to get onto public roads. But the reality is that if you do not have a card, you just push a red button and the gate opens.

Now in that area, the main mode of transportation is not a car, it is not a bike, it is not by feet. It is a golf cart. As there are HOA's, when we were driving around in the 'communities' we did not see any political signs. I think the HOA bans that. But . . . they can't ban signage on golf carts! We wound going to one of the three public squares that they have. They have live bands that play every day from 5 to 7. There are a bunch of people in square . . . dancing. We sat in a restaurant (World of Beers) and watched the dancing and all the golf carts moving around. Sure, we saw a few that had people's first name on the cart, sure we saw some that had college logos on them, and yes, we did see a bunch that were MAGA advertisements.

Now are the 145k people all Maga, naw. We met a few that were not. But to stereotype . . . not that far off to the couple that said no.

The villages is interesting, it is basically 12 miles north to south, 6 miles east to west. What they sell is social activities. All times are measured in golf cart time, not car time! Within 5 minutes from where you live there will be a small rec center. This is generally a pool with a meeting room or two. IIRC there are about 140 of these! Within 10 minutes will be a medium size center, which is a pool, bigger rec room, pickleball/tennis, etc. Within 15 minutes of where you live there will be a a large rec center. This will generally be attached to a 18/27 hole course, restaurants, pool(s), gym, etc. And within 20 minutes of where you live there will be commercial areas where grocery stores, etc. are. Why I typed all of that out is because they are within the villages, but are commercial and thus there are billboards. Guess what kinda billboards you see there? :) So that can give a serious impression. The other funny/interesting thing, the area we stayed in. HOLY . . . on one road, there were, IIRC SIX churches in a row! Definitely an area to get your religion on.

“ There loss. It is so stupid to let politics even enter into the discussion. We're all here for the same reason. Sex”

…and let’s be honest, tacos.

I remember Rabbit telling a story about being outside the club here with a couple and the male half was going on and on about why his brand of politics was right. She looked at him and said, do you want to stand here and talk politics or go back inside and fuck? His position changed quickly. Mine would have too. ;-)

Horizontal, my favorite political position.

Their loss indeed.

Yup. Dodged a bullet there. Anyone who can't turn off the political talk for a couple of hours is going to be a frightful bore. Even if you're in 100% agreement with their views. There's NOTHING erotic about politics.

They did you a favor. You don't want to hang out with people who let politics rule every aspect of their life anyway.

There loss. It is so stupid to let politics even enter into the discussion. We're all here for the same reason. Sex

Had a couple say the didn’t want to meet because where I lived. After saying Hello they told me it is a Red area(Political).
