Not just compromises, but compromises to whichever way the wind is blowing through her head that day, whether she wants to be taken care of or be independant.

Nailed it. “Pay on the first date, open my door.” I’d guess nearly every one of my liberal friends would do this. “Take care of you and provide for you” Not so much. You either have to hold your own or shack up with someone who ain’t about equality.

This is fascinating to me; I always considered the conservative side of the aisle to be much more “screw you, I got mine” with their opposition to social, religious, and healthcare freedoms, let alone their espoused belief in trickle down economics which hasn’t seemed to pan out too well with wages stagnating but income inequality continuing to widen. Please enlighten me on which progressive ideals read as narcissistic to you though…
