“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.”

    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

        FIFY: Doughy, sycophantic, petulant, piss-babies, who happen to be obsessed with childrens genitals.

        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?

      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.

    Maybe if you weren’t selecting for people that are basically childish assholes, you might be able to find a suitable mate. Just sayin’.

    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.

    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.
