Any man who considers trump an alpha has no idea what an alpha male is.

    Alphas are so weak that they can easily be stopped by something as thin as a piece of paper. I'm a gamma, I only can be stopped by several inches of concrete or some lead.

    This isn't a bad idea. Rent a venue and charge like $15 per person and call it a MAGA Singles Social. Spread it on Facebook and rake in the cash.

    Then let all the incels and divorced dads gather. Should be like 90% plus men

    I have no sympathy and don’t even agree this is a problem. Bible-thumping conservative, Evangelical Christians have been here since the founding of this country and they have always found a way to restock their ranks of indoctrinated children throughout the generations. In my opinion, they’re a cancer in society, and I see no end to their presence in the near future. Even if this particular woman never finds a husband she can accept, enough like her will, and they will produce another generation of bigoted youngsters, intent on anchoring this country in their naïve, idealized, theocratic vision of the past.

    I wish I could say they’re being left behind by more modern, sensible people, but the truth of the matter is that they’re succeeding at holding the rest of us back with their antiquated, bigoted ways.

    I think I’m fairly masculine, big dude who enjoys being strong, I like outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, hiking. I really like working with my hands.

    I’m left as fuck.

    Most dudes I run into I would consider weak and the ones who are “masculine” pretty much just watch a ton of sports but are otherwise effete.

    The problem is, masculinity has been turned into a performative art these days. To the culture obsessed with masculinity, you have to fall in line, wear the clothes, support the right people…. What they don’t get is that this is the least masculine behavior possible.

    Seriously, look at the “masculine” types, they all are groomed, their trucks are all spotless, they go to work and sit in the same chairs as the rest of us; but think their fascist adjacent clothing makes them look tough. I see nothing but insecure manchildren.

    I've been reading this exact same article, practically word-for-word, since the Reagan Era. Yet there never seems to be a shortage of married Republicans. Hell, some of them are on their third or fourth round of marriage. Similarly, I've been reading the "Liberals are a turn-off. I need a real man's man! The only boy who gets with this Hot Trad is a Based Chad!" article for my entire adult life. Nobody can explain where all the married liberals are coming from, either. It's almost as though these articles are just slamming Sex and Politics into a single headline and hoping people click the link.

    But I also see something more insidious. I'm reading wave after wave of "dating is a scam / the opposite sexes simply aren't compatible" rhetoric, often subtly paired with "Exciting New Digital Fuckdoll!" native ads and associated articles. Very reminescent of the '10s-era "Give up meeting people on your own, get the App!", '00s-era "Give up on meeting people on your own, buy Speed Dating", and '90s-era "You'll never find an American partner who will treat you with the subservience of a mail-order bride!"

    Wake up, Sheeple! Quit being seduced by this Marketing Slop! You're just being commodified. Again.

    Generally Maga toads are dressing up their profiles to look politically ambiguous because they know being authentic gets them ignored by almost all of the dating pool. Just look for dudes who take pictures in sunglasses in their car and pose with fish.

    Insecurity is the driving force for maga - insecurity of being left behind, insecurity of their role in the world, insecurity of being irrelevant. You can’t be masculine and constantly projecting yourself onto others.

    Donald trump is their leader, not surprised they're morons but c'mon. Every man these conservatives look up to wears makeup for a living.

    No value judgement on makeup but for people that allege to value "traditional" notions of masclinity its so funny they can't see what's in front of their face.

    Also "ammosexuals" is not getting enough traction in those replies.

    “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.”

    You've confused conservative men with conservative male politicians. There are masculine conservation men, though if they crow about their alpha-ness then they're not.

    Conservative male politicians are a mixed bag of redophiles, rapists, homophobic self-haters, high school losers who suddenly came into power by deceit, corruption and theft.

    Conservation men seem the type to be very masculine. Park rangers, foresters, zookeepers, etc. Rugged and outdoorsy jobs conservation puts you in. Unfortunately for conservatives they've been politically opposed to it for decades

    At their core, Conservatives are cowards. They are afraid of EVERYTHING: Liberals, minorities, women, women's genitals, other religions, poor people, other countries, technology, education, intelligence, Critical Thinking Skills, the Constitution, history, etc. They are even afraid of each other. They are terrified that anything will change, and they're lives won't be as comfortable as they are now. They are so scared about that, that they will literally murder entire demographic sectors, just to assure their personal comfort.

    So right off the bat, if you are dating a Conservative, you are dating a profound coward. If trouble occurs, he's going to grab you, and use you as a human shield.

    PedoCons. There's a sociological concept that the rise and success of the Conservative movement has been significantly (and deliberately) driven by being the party that covers for pedophilia. ALL pedophiles choose the Conservative party because they know they'll cover for them, and the conservatives want them because they are easy to manipulate.

    All MAGAs are pedophiles, or support and defend pedophiles, which is the same thing.

    They are probably holding two partially contradictory concepts of masculinity in mind and trying to find the tiny population of men that exist in that intersection.

    They are seeking a warm and considerate racist or a strong weak man. Good luck with that.
