Values-Based Online Dating for Politically Left-Wing Singles at Consonance (Gleichklang)
Since 2006, we have taken a pioneering role in online dating for left-wing singles and political online dating at Consonance:
- As a values-based online dating platform and matchmaking service, we specifically address people who care about social justice, environmental protection, animal rights, and human rights. The political orientation of our members is predominantly left-wing, left-alternative, and left-ecological. Many of our members come from the climate protection or environmental movement or are in solidarity with them.
- For 19 years, we have been the only dating platform in the German-speaking world that specifically supports politically left-oriented people in their partner search as a partner search for left-wing singles.
This is also reflected in party politics:
- In surveys among our members, conservative or economically liberal parties are well below five percent among Consonance members, and the AfD plays virtually no role. In contrast, Greens, the Left, the Animal Protection Party, and various climate and environmental movements dominate. In addition, there are other smaller left-wing parties that are hardly represented in society at large.
This sets us apart significantly from the large dating sites or dating apps that aim to appeal to everyone and are mostly rooted in the political mainstream. Accordingly, as a dating platform, we are not focused on maximizing membership numbers, but rather on a high ethical consensus:

What Politically Left-Wing Singles Want at Consonance (Gleichklang)
We asked our members themselves:
- 77.22% of surveyed singles stated that political opinions are important to them in their partner search. 83.86% even stated that a partnership with someone who holds completely opposite political views would not be an option for them.

Sympathy, trust, and emotional closeness develop more easily when people share compatible fundamental attitudes on ethical, social, and societal issues.
Thinking left or left-alternative is therefore not a simple matter of personal taste from a psychological perspective either:
- Politically left-wing convictions are connected to core values such as the rejection of authoritarian ideologies, the commitment to social justice, a critical stance toward market-liberal principles, and advocacy for ecological responsibility, equal opportunity, and solidarity. Psychologically, care and empathy are also closely linked to this cluster of attitudes.
Left-wing individuals who reject authoritarian thinking, recognize ecological destruction as a central problem, and do not accept social inequality or want to overcome or at least mitigate it, cannot and do not want to exclude these political fundamental beliefs from their romantic and partnership relationships. For them, relationships are not value-neutral, but rather an expression of a shared attitude toward the world and social coexistence, which is reflected in their political views.
Incidentally, this has become even more apparent to many in recent years, particularly through the presidency of Donald Trump, as political decisions in the United States under Donald Trump are directly tangible and visibly linked to human rights, social responsibility, authenticity, abuse of power, and the abandonment of the rule of law and democratic principles. Private relationships are also affected by this.
If you would like to read more about the political-social attitudes of Consonance members or about our psychological matchmaking, you can find this information in our articles “Partner Search for Progressives” and “Values-Based Living: Veganism, Sustainability, Ethics.” We have also published extensive survey data in our relationship blog under “Religion and Politics among Consonance Members.” Perhaps the concept of relationship anarchy is also relevant to you, as a new and progressive relationship concept that emphasizes the ongoing mutual negotiability and changeability of relationships.
How We Achieve Political Compatibility in Online Dating at Consonance (Gleichklang)
We achieve compatibility in fundamental values in our matchmaking service in two complementary ways:
- Through our external presence, we attract predominantly politically left-thinking people who want to share their political and social positions in their relationships. This creates a high basic consensus in our dating community. When singles meet at Consonance, it is already a priori likely that both their hearts beat on the left.
- Additionally, we take into account the importance of specific topics such as ecology and environmental protection, animal welfare and animal rights, human rights, and openness to alternative lifestyles through our psychological matching algorithm.
As a result, we bring together people at Consonance whose hearts beat on the left and who can build a high degree of connection with each other in their political attitudes and opinions.
