Yes I think the bare minimum for many of us is becoming “no conservatives.”

A good chunk of these dudes are closeted self-hating homosexuals projecting and lashing out so they aren't even TRULY motivated by lacking "a woman" except in which how much it frustrates them that they can't feel an attachment toward these people whom they have been told are the trophy awarded for their hardships. Which is delusional and stupid of course.

Obviously it's not a bad thing that they're gay; it sucks that they hate themselves and feel motivated to balance it by pretending that those aspects of themselves which they hate are things for which they hate others harder. If they didn't hate so much, maybe they'd have a shot at being happy.

Oh well. They live in a hell of their own creation. Serves them right.

I’m a 42 year old man with a cat and still single due to living in a very rural republican area and all women here are hardcore Trump fans so I’ll just stay single and spend time with my cat.

I mean, ya gotta be careful. Are they conservative because they are lonely, or are they lonely because they are conservative

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 82 points 1 week ago (19 children)

I suspect that women aren't dating conservative men, not because they want to punish them, but because they would personally rather not date a horrible person.

It's a pretty bad spiral. Lonely men develop more extremist views, which makes them less attractive to women, which makes them lonelier, and they get even more extremist views, etc.

Like, if you lined all of the single men up who vote against women's rights, and asked an equal number of women to sacrifice their own happiness to date them, a certain number of those horrible men would turn a corner and start to act like a human. But who is going to give up their own happiness to fix some broken asshole stranger? Very few people.

You can't put that on the women. Men have got to get their shit together. Just show a bit of empathy, bro! It's not that hard, humans are literally wired for it. It's just that capitalism is reinforcing humankind's worst impulses.

There are a lot of progressive men that are lonely. I'd say, I fall under that category. And woof, dating as a progressive man ain't no walk in the park.

Authoritarians are probably less likely to keep cats, either because they’re not obedient/useful or because keeping cats is coded as feminine and thus contemptible.

if every conservative woman hitched with every conservative man they would be 84% in a relationship.

but many conservative men are unpalatable even to conservative women

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

So many of them don’t want to date conservative women. Like you can have a bio that explicitly says “no thanks conservatives” and they still try to slide in. Or hide it.

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 week ago (4 children)

it's almost like being conservative comes with almost inherent traits that make someone undesirable as a partner. lack of open mindedness, critical thinking, any form of emotional maturity...

there's a reason many conservatives in dating apps hide their beliefs. they know its a red flag for many more things than their "politics".
