I met my wife on Bumble while living in Minneapolis, lots of loopy gun haters but hunting is such a tradition in MN, gun ownership isn’t really seen as weird.
I’ve pretty sure I’ve told this story on here before, but I was building an AR when my wife and I starting dating right when there was a high profile shooting and there was a big push on social media to ban AR15s.
My now wife stopped over when I was in the basement when had only been dating a short while, and she asked what I was down there. I said I was building a gun, and did not specify what kind.
She pressed further and asked what kind of gun, I sheepishly said an AR-15. She then asked if that’s the one that every one hates right now, I said Yes and thought I was gonna get some blowback for sure, but she just laughed and said that’s cool.
God speed to all the men out there hustling on the dating apps. It’s a cold, dark and lonely place at times.
