“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”
When Morgan Housley, 29, moved to Washington for her job in April, she had some non-negotiables for the conservative man she was looking to date: He had to “love the Lord,” genuinely enjoy going to church, and be able to “provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.” A fit, athletic man she could go on runs with.
So far, Mr. Right has not materialized. Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are … “Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.
LOL so the only one who responded was Stephen Miller.
Also, wonder if she meant alcoholics.
She has unreasonable expectations. That’s where the problem lies.
She wants a fit dude who goes to church on Sundays and who isn’t a huge fucking baby. That’s not too ridiculous, it’s just that she’s looking for that guy in conservative circles so that just ain’t gunna happen.
Also, wonder if she meant alcoholics.
Or she thinks it’s still 1970 and someone can have a reasonable work-life balance while still providing “emotionally and physically” for a family as the sole breadwinner.
Considering she’s moving for her job, she probably does not want the guy to be the sole breadwinner, and that’s also why “workaholic” is a problem. She’s not fully aligned with the conservative ideology here, because she seems to want the God and family bits but not the paternalistic-power-structure-with-one-man-at-the-top bit. Meanwhile, the guys she’s trying to date probably emphasize that last part and are looking for a conservative wife who stays home with the kids all day.
If even half of religious conservatives could remove their heads from their own buttholes for two seconds and realize that the only thing genuinely linking G-O-D and G-O-P is propaganda the US would be in a much better place.
Nah, Christianity is an inherently patriarchal and heirarchal structure. Of course it attracts and reinforces the central-male-authority demographic.
It’s why I’m watching James Talarico so closely. Seems he’s trying to correct that.

- Okay, what does she bring to the table?
- She’s not looking for a mate, she’s looking to be pampered princess-child.
Delusional people having trouble accepting reality, again.
The fact that conservative women are having a hard time finding men to date is kind of odd. It seems like they could clean up. But I guess alt-right guys are a real pain
I think it’s just that conservative women want this fictional idea of conservative men who are adults instead of the reality where they’re petulent piss babies across the board
Conservative women are expected to give up a lot of themselves as human beings, so of course the men have to be worth it, right? You submit to him in every way because he’s so good and strong (emotionally and physically) and a natural leader, right? Right?
FIFY: Doughy, sycophantic, petulant, piss-babies, who happen to be obsessed with childrens genitals.
Conservative men weirdly try to date liberal women often. Even hiding behind “apolitical” etc. Even if you identify your preference for liberal men, they still swipe etc.
I don’t know how weird it is. That’s where all the women are, and their whole thing is not respecting women’s choices. Also they don’t read.
That’s very fair, and you’re right. A lack of respect for others pretty much covers all those things including thinking her preferences don’t matter or won’t once the truth comes out. It always struck me as a a weird behavior because it seems doomed to conflict/waste time.
It’s simple, if you only get one match for every 100 likes/swipe right you give out, you simply don’t have time to read every profile properly.
Especially if 9 out of 10 matches don’t even respond after messaging them.
That has been my experience and I am not even right wing.
I just recently tried Hinge, my first attempt at a dating app just kinda on a whim. I pressed X on everyone who didn’t really have, or at least display, much of a personality and 48hrs later happened upon a real top-shelf weirdo and it’s been going pretty well so far. I get likes, too, but they’re almost always liking my generic picture and not asking about any of the interesting ones or about the written prompts so I just skip those ones.
My own profile is not built to be palatable but built to be myself. It shows my interests and it shows who I am which may turn people away but that’s ok since it’s better that happens now instead later, ya know?
TL;DR: If you just smash “like” on people you barely looked at all you’re doing is increasing your rejections and making yourself feel bad over something that was never going to work out in the first place.
Though shit. I love that for them.
Maybe if you weren’t selecting for people that are basically childish assholes, you might be able to find a suitable mate. Just sayin’.
But they are childish assholes themselves.
Assholes don’t really enjoy the company of other assholes once they’re done complaining about minorities and/or women. They get on for a little bit and then it starts to go downhill while run some mental gymnastics to pretend like everything is normal.
She casually mentioned that she had helped curate a drag event at one point — something he was entirely against. He felt a pit in his stomach.
Nothing against her as a person, he said, but, “We did not go on the third date, after that.”
If she reads this article, she’s going to realize she dodged a bullet.
Yeah, stupid selfish people usually have trouble forming stable relationships.
Can we start framing them as single men with their guns and ridicule them for not being caretakers in a similar fashion as they framed single women with their cats?
Or make recommendations for typical conservative dating apps, such as Grindr?
It’s difficult to frame a clown in a funny way. They just embrace it.
Ammosexuals, women looking for a heterosexual male should avoid.
Come on ladies, why wouldn’t you want to date a paranoid, racist, angry, man with a small penis and and a persecution complex?
Don’t forget misogynist
Great point.
What woman doesn’t love a misogynist?
The “masculinity” she’s looking for is actually just confidence. Confidence to be yourself in a world that can accept or reject you, and the balls not to give a shit what it decides.
Confident men don’t need a blowhard sycophant to be confident for them. Scared little boys do though.
Confidence to do what is right and stand up to bullies is not something they’re gonna find in conservative circles. Also, compassion and empathy are much more attractive than bigotry and anger, but these alpha male types think it shows weakness.
“Woman who filters search by red flags only is unhappy with search results.” Shocking
You’d be surprised …
They should come out of the closet and go full grinder
“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”
Lol. Who would have thought? Insecure men masking!
How do they expect to find love when all they have is hate?
They’re looking for love, the love of hate.
“There’s a lot of talk around the word ‘fascism’ and people on the left calling people on the right ‘fascists’ and ‘Nazis,’” said a 27-year-old Republican staffer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because her employer did not allow her to speak to the press. “I think if somebody genuinely thought that, they probably wouldn’t want to date me anyways, but like, that’s a red flag, because then you think that I’m that, which I’m not, whatsoever, and never will be. But I mean, my partner can’t think I’m a fascist. That’s crazy.”
Staffer working for the fascist party upset at being called fascist
I hope they live into their 80s, childless and forever alone.
So there’s selective pressure against fascism. Good. Keep it up. Let them go extinct.
Time is a wheel. We’ve seen this movie before, and although we believe we know how it ends, we gotta keep looking out for the M. Night Shamalan twists.
