It's crazy to claim women won't date you because you're conservative. Live in Texas. There's simply no shortage of women dating, marrying, divorcing, and cheating with conservative men.

There are men who can't get a date, and there are conservatives, and there are conservatives who can't get a date.

Spot on! There is some overlap for sure, but I don't agree with the notion that if you can't get a relationship, it means you're a conservative.

I've never dated and am not conservative at all, but I sometimes feel like I'm looked at with suspicion by other leftists when I mention this.

I sometimes see someone being sad about not having had a partner, and someone will reply stuff like "Have you tried not being sexist?", even if there's nothing in the post to indicate that they are sexist. But some people immediately assume that, because never dating but being progressive does not compute for them.
