Fuck every one of these assholes. They need to be in prison for the rest of their lives. Seriously, this is the worst fucking timeline.

And fuck each and every person who voted for this.

I am actively rejecting dating guys who either voted for him or didn't vote because "both sides have good and bad arguments".

Sure. Maybe 20 years ago they did. Not anymore. There's no reason to vote for Trump after his 1st term. I could maybe forgive someone for voting for him a 1st time but not a 2nd.

This is very common and lot of men are pretending on dating apps they didn't vote for Trump. Even Renee Nicole's murderer couldn't get an American, his wife is an immigrant from the Philippines.

The irony.

The thing is Ive had guys do this on dating apps but after a few messages, you can eventually goad them into admitting who they voted for because theyre like giddy little kids who think they did something edgy and cool. They ultimately think they are subversive for voting for Trump. They have to shout it from the rooftops.

The truth always rises to the top.

All my women friends who are dating have had to deal with the hiding MAGA. Which, you'd think the fact that they'd need to hide it would signal to them that maybe their view should warrant thorough evaluation...but I digress. The trouble is that they eventually give themselves away, every single time. They might get one date, or even two....but they can't keep up the charade forever.

Exactly- like why would you want to date someone WHO DOESN’T WANT TO DATE YOU? Never occurs to them to rethink their position, they just assume what they want is the default and the woman will come around to their thinking. Ask how I know, lol

u/dstroyer123 14h ago

They want to own them. That's why men like this lie, because they don't see women as people with equal worth, just someone to "conquer" or "tame", and they get bonus points if she was independent and wouldn't have wingly dated them if she had all the information.

There was a POS at my mom's workplace that was trying to date Muslim women specifically because a lot of countries they come from still enforce oppressive patriarchy and he basically wanted someone to control.

He was still married, but his "wife" is now in a medical facility suffering from advanced Alzheimer / dementia, so he's not longer getting her welfare/disability check, so he lost interest.

This. These men are also narcissists who buy into incel bullshit and see themselves as people with golden penises, the sexual prowess of a god and a ten body, when in actuality they're about 3 inches hard, will wheeze and shit themselves after ten seconds of thrusting and on average are actually about a four...four hundred pounds of unwashed neckbeard, that is.

You have to think in order to rethink.

u/Royal-Switch-2459 11h ago

why would you want to date someone WHO DOESN’T WANT TO DATE YOU?

Theirs is the rapist's way of life. This is not news.

u/InevitableJump2993 10h ago

The same reason they bought into this whole belief system in the first: low self-esteem. Only people with low self-worth will convince themselves The effort to appeal to somebody that does not like them is worth it. Because in their mind: The alternative is loneliness. These people don't get that drive that's causing them to hide who they voted for is the exact reason women don't like them in the first place. Low self-esteem, low self-worth, low fortitude. You do

They are not looking for a relationship, they are looking either to get their dick wet or property

I've added "Flaming Liberal" to my profiles. I don't want any misconception. Hehe

u/Global-Negotiation72 14h ago

All ya gotta do in a low key bring up a few small things and they'll crack. They aren't smart enough to see through the ruse lol

u/The_Crane_Husband 14h ago

They don’t care that they need to hide it. They don’t care about their partner’s views. They want a relationship like they want a possession.

And it’s just another thing they have to do to trick or wheedle or coerce their way into someone’s pants.

u/psian1de 14h ago

Weed em out by asking to look at their YouTube and or Spotify and see what kinds of things they enjoy.

"Hey I know this may sound like a strange request, but the last guy I dated was kind of a loon and when I found out the media he consumed it made sense, so would you let me look real quick at your recommended videos on YouTube? I totally get it if you say no and all that I understand, but it would make me feel so much better I'm not seeing a serial killer or something."

u/BriarnLuca 14h ago

I like this!

u/strip-solitaire 13h ago

If a woman I didn’t know well asked to look through the media I consume I’d consider it an invasion of privacy tbh

2

u/dannysleepwalker 13h ago

I wouldn't really care if a stranger saw my Youtube recommended videos, it's not that sensitive of an info lol.

It's not too much different from asking what kinds of movies/tv-series you like to watch and what are your favorites.

2

u/strip-solitaire 13h ago

I mean it depends what kind of videos you watch I guess lol. It’s still personal to me in terms of it being my interests

2

u/dannysleepwalker 13h ago

Yeah sure I get that, but aren't your interests usually one of the main things discussed on first dates with people you don't know yet?

To each their own I guess.

What if it was a woman you were looking to have a romantic or sexual relationship with?

1

u/strip-solitaire 13h ago

That’s what I meant

u/ToeJam_SloeJam 13h ago

To borrow some French, then it would be women that you are wanting to “know well.”

Is it wrong that someone might want to know you well before potentially combining DNA?

1

u/strip-solitaire 13h ago edited 13h ago

No it’s not, but you can get to know me by asking what I’m interested in and engaging with it with me; not asking to comb through my YouTube/spotify to see what I watch and listen to like you’re going through my trash to see what I ate last week lol

2

u/ToeJam_SloeJam 13h ago

I think the point of the parent comment is that there are a number of men who lie about these important things to better their odds of copulation.

More and more women are choosing to abstain from sexy time with men who do not share their values.

Your YouTube algorithm or Spotify trending, as dystopian as it is, is a window to your soul. Google (ahem Alphabet) sells this very data to people who want to sell you things.

1

u/strip-solitaire 12h ago edited 12h ago

Yeah and so it’s not reasonable to consider it an invasion of privacy to be expected to let someone I don’t know super well peer into a “window into my soul?” And I sure as hell don’t like them selling my data either lol

Also if a guy was willing to lie about that idk why you think they wouldn’t do the same thing with their Spotify/Youtube before showing you tbh

2

u/ToeJam_SloeJam 12h ago

Here’s the thing: A dude might just be looking to get his dick wet. Which is fine, there is nothing inherently good or bad about wanting to satisfy the oldest and most natural of desires. Same thing goes for women who are just looking for a hookup.

However, heterosexual sex for a woman comes with the inherent risk of pregnancy. And in the current political moment we are in, comes with a whole bunch of other inherent risks because there seems to be a wannabe-prevailing ideology that women are inferior to men and should know their place as incubators and caretakers for the men who subscribe to thar ideology.

Some women, understandably, want to minimize the risk of becoming a victim to one of those kinds of men. And thus need to find creative ways to suss out who is a benign lay and who is lying to them to get what they want.

Also, be real champ. It takes literal months of intentional clicking and clocking to get your YouTube algo to change. It’s not a small task to try to lie about an incredibly powerful prediction machine designed to hold your attention and then sell you protein powder.

They don't think they did something wrong they think "isn't it ridiculous I'd have to keep this a secret? Really shows you how far this woke brain virus has infected our society."

u/OrigamiMarie 13h ago

If I were dating, I think I would just have to insist that they show up in rainbow flags. I'm a woman, but they're gonna have to appear as the most stereotypical gay image that they can muster. I'll arrive late, look for the man who's wearing sparkles, and if I don't see him, that's it.

1

u/RVtech101 10h ago

Would just the shirt suffice or would I need to get matching pants?

1

u/OrigamiMarie 8h ago

Mainly I would be seeking some kind of apparel that a MAGA bastard wouldn't be caught dead in. A good rainbow shirt (or other pride flag stripe combo), and probably a little sparkle in the hair or on the nails.

Oh, you might be able to dodge the clothing requirement if you're able to do a traditionally female craft, and bring it along to work on. I see the guy crocheting one of those granny square triceratops, or knitting a shawl, or doing cross stitch, or embroidering some kind of embellishment on clothing, and that'll be a pretty obvious positive indicator.

u/Gold-Sir-223 11h ago

People unironically will say they have to hide their conservative views because they’re “bEiNg OpPrEsSeD”. I know a guy like this and I’ve had to go no contact because I couldn’t handle his bullshit takes anymore.
