OkCupid users agree: Golden showers much preferable to Trump

OkCupid is one of the bigger matchmaking sites out there, and one way they leverage this is by periodically polling their vast user base to glean what’s trending in the online dating world (and presumably society in general). One such survey conducted in February, which included some political questions, netted almost 270,000 US respondents, and they gave some very interesting answers.

First, on the question of everyone’s least-favorite White House occupant:

Trump Is A Deal Breaker

Trump certainly gets people riled up, and daters’ views on him — positive or negative — are considered a major deal breaker for singles considering potential matches. 74% of OkCupid respondents answered “Hell no” to the question “Trump?” Only 4% responded “Hell yes.” The more demure responses of “yes” and “no” came in at 7% and 15% respectively. […]

Nearly three quarters of OkCupid members share the same stance on Trump.

Naturally, they followed up with something now intrinsically Trump-related, with hilarious results:

And now for the golden ticket, er, shower. Believe it or not, some things are more shocking than Putin — like golden showers, and singles’ thoughts on them. Perhaps Trump’s recent scandal made them mainstream (excuse the pun), but a somewhat surprising discovery was how down daters are with golden showers — or at least how open they are to discussing them. While Trump proved to be a major deal breaker, golden showers did not; nearly a quarter of respondents claimed a golden shower was either a turn-on, or they could be convinced to try one out. The central takeaway here? More singles say they are willing to get pissed on than support Trump.

If anything, that’s understating it. According to those numbers, that’s twice as many people who’d either certainly or possibly be okay being pissed on as would put up with dating someone who supports Trump. And given how these numbers come from February and that Trump’s support base has only been eroding since then, that ratio would be even higher now.

Of course, the follow-up question is: How many people would be okay with, or would at least consider, pissing on a Trump supporter?
