“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.

    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.

    provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.

    1. Okay, what does she bring to the table?
    2. She's not looking for a mate, she's looking to be pampered princess-child.
