I’m curious about the extent to which rationalists have a strong enough preference for dating within the rationality community that they exclude non-rationalist potential dates.
Or, in another framing, to what extent the preference for a rationalist date outweighs other considerations, to the extent that not dating a non-rationalist is preferable to dating a non-rationalist.
That wasn’t central to my point; I mean that in the fields where most rationalists spend their time, there’s a significant gender imbalance. Even if you’re totally willing to date non-rationalists, by default the people you meet will be heavily imbalanced unless you’re specifically cultivating social circles not related to rationality or your profession.

That may depend heavily on what one means by “rationalist” in this context.
