An old thread, but a perennial subject.... The very concept of morality is fluid and liminal. This Forum is perhaps not suitable context for such a debate, as the issue is vast and intractable. But I would like to note, as others have noted, that some of one's core beliefs are matters of taste and preference, and others are regarded as bases of how in principal all of humanity ought to behave. One can compromise extensively with one's future or present partner in matters of taste and preference, but not really in the postulates of how to behave.
As society gets more atomized and more competitive, it's increasingly more difficult to connect with others – whether romantically or just to borrow the lawn mower. This makes it harder to find like-minded people, but does NOT imply that such people no longer exist! Rather, in an impersonal and competitive world, most visible will be the flamboyant and suave. Their reputations will become dominant, pacing the culture and our apprehensions thereof. There is still I think a "silent majority" amongst whom the OP might find many fine candidates. Their number may be large, but they are not readily visible. Therein lies the problem!
It's also true that in modern America, the so-called "Christian Conservatives" have aggrandized to themselves a claim of moral rectitude, so that those who oppose their doctrine are seen as somehow decrepit or debauched. This complicates dating, and civic life in general, for persons who remain impressed with the Western tradition of Greco-Roman virtue-ethics, but who don't partake of the established Christian idiom.

Or just plain "modern" or "progressive".
I mean even within christian environment, something as simple as premarital sex...I don't judge people who do it...heck I consider myself a Christian (a Catholic) and I do that often...only if the woman doesn't want to...well I can refrain myself from it.
Morality is just like a compass, like Gil Grissom once said, but you cannot go there unless you believe that's the right way to go.
I find genuine feminist men attractive, not those fake ones. Also huh, when I see my husband participating for things to save animals and environment that is sexy. SEXY!!!!!
