online dating is toxic

I've read some good evidence is that this is because women, especially zoomer and millennial women, are considerably more liberal than the men in their peer group. Historically, women have always been more liberal than men, but the difference between them has gotten extreme in the last 10 years. Being a Trump supporter is a deal-breaker for many single women.

Online dating is incredibly toxic for gay men, too, so this isn't something that can be completely explained by a shift in women's ideology.

I will take your word for it. I am not involved in any online dating, but am also not gay.

That's completely reasonable, why would a women date a man who thinks that she doesn't own her own body (not all but a significant amount of Trump supporters believe that). In addition women are more liberal because primarily their rights have and are being threatened by Trump, furthermore women are more likely to be sympathetic to other minorities who may loose their rights as well. On top of that young conservative men are very often completely delusional in terms of dating expectations. Many of them demand an extremely young person (18-20), demand they be stay at home, demand many children, while not having a job capable of upholding such a lifestyle because they cannot accept that the world we live in is not the same one our grandparents lived in. In addition young conservatives (especially young Trump supporters) tend to have completely unreasonable demands and expectations due to them being terminally online and a very poor understanding of women.

It's even worse than that. They want women to work full time, keep all the housework done, assume all the work with the child after work, while cooking dinner, washing up, stay looking fantastic, never complain and oh, mow the lawn while I'm playing golf/bball/football on Saturday, and don't forget Suzie has ballet on Wednesday, Bobby has detention on Friday, and football practice on Saturday.

Not so sure about that. Isn't Vance advocating for women to strive to be stay at home moms. So you can cut the full time job from that list. His comments about staying in the kitchen would also rule out the lawn and driving anywhere. I think he just wants women to stay home and be there for when their husband wants to see them, and only leave the house when he wants to bring her somewhere.

Probably. I just meant that's the mindset of certain men in our area. Certain meaning if they want the trad wife but realize a single income isn't enough. Or whatever else is convenient, I guess. I'm just going by those I've known in a concentrated region, not all men are like that and I'm so glad!

I dont get men tbh, or Trump supporters. Im too Transfem to understand them :3

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I don't understand women or Trump supporters so we have something in common.

Great news - the fewer Trumpers who reproduce, the better.
