I don't think many people care who you choose to hang out with. That's your own business and doesn't earn you points around here. Excluding attractive members of the opposite sex, conservatives tend to see people for who they are, not what they look like. It takes time to get to know others but I think the conservatives I know are the best at maintaining long term friendships and relationships in general, regardless of phenotype, and are in general among the most helpful when others need it.
