Meanwhile, all the progressive poly guys I know who have figured out how to deeply respect women have more partners than they really have time for. And quite a few of them are not "good looking" by any conventional standard (though some are).

like one youtubers i used to follow, there are someone for everyone. even killers/serial killers have a partner of some sort, despite knowing that they are murderers. not good looking, but have a very fun or attractive personality. the common thing that steers people away, is being broke(although not always the case), hygiene and dressing well seems to be a major one.

men with pets often gets attention too, it makes you look less creepy and more of a normal person and a potential parent.(thats why there are so many thirst traps of men(although they are already attractive) pet animal videos, like with the dodo.

Pardon, but it smacks of weird defensiveness that you feel the need to bring up that serial killers often have intimate partners as some kind of counterpoint to the fact that men who figure out how to respect women's boundaries are highly sought as partners.

Serial killers likely find partners by being manipulative and playing mind games - ie, being psychopaths.

Clearly the evidence that men who respect women have major success fostering reliable and enjoyable relationships with them is somehow highly threatening to a lot of guys.

Something has to immediately be said that instead says "but not respecting women also works." Followed by crude red pill thinking - "And aren't all women dumb bc some seem to like danger? And also, women are superficial, so pretend to like a puppy bc that works a lot."

I know media has taught men that masculinity is basically defined by being able to disrespect women and think of them as winnable objects but --

Mentally healthy women aren't falling for that shit. And you guys hate the baggage that the traumatized ones have who are insecure enough fall for that crap.

You could give up the machismo to try.. respect and growing into someone who could be happy?

That's how I found my wife. She was very impressed with my love and care for the last living dodo, which I keep safe from extinction solely for selfish purposes.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What brand of safe do you keep the dodo in? I have a thylacine that dashes for the door whenever I come and go.

[–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 1 points 1 hour ago

In this case a cage made of the coldest iron, same as I use for my wife.

As someone left of Mamdani, why should my choice of Linux distro prevent me from having a loving feline pet?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Enterprises don't get pets. Why else would you use RH?

Did anyone rise think this was about folks who use a paid version of Linux?

[–] papertowels@mander.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What do you MEAN 'dnf' stands for "do not fuck"???

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

I mean I'm a Catholic so we aren't allowed to do that anyway unless you are trying to have kids.

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Red hat is a paid Linux distribution

[–] papertowels@mander.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago

Right, which uses DNF to install software

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

Good. There are values and traits that should not procreate.

No cap

!slang for "no lie"!<

[–] syreus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

No cap, red cat?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Red hat = no cat, no cap

[–] peregrin5@piefed.social 36 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

if every conservative woman hitched with every conservative man they would be 84% in a relationship.

but many conservative men are unpalatable even to conservative women

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

unless they are rich, they are more likely stick with them if they have the moolah.

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 32 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

it's almost like being conservative comes with almost inherent traits that make someone undesirable as a partner. lack of open mindedness, critical thinking, any form of emotional maturity...

there's a reason many conservatives in dating apps hide their beliefs. they know its a red flag for many more things than their "politics".

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

lack of open mindedness, critical thinking, any form of emotional maturity…

Wasting money on loud motorcycles and huge smoke-emitting trucks ...

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

not only that but talking about trump non-stop, having his FLAG and other paraphenelia.

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The last woman I dated before my current girlfriend was a conservative woman. I didn't see any flags for it, she seemed really open minded, and was very well educated. Shame on me for being so blind I suppose.

She turned out to have a husband and a young son. I'm not entirely sure what to believe since cheaters will say a lot of things, but she apparently hated her marriage a lot. She wouldn't leave due to her beliefs though.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

The fact that she was cheating on her partner and lying to you is independent of the fact that she was conservative.

...but I'm also not saying there isn't a significant overlap in that Venn diagram.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

She wouldn't leave the marriage due to beliefs, but she would cheat, huh?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 5 hours ago

sounds like the conservative way.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 161 points 1 day ago (13 children)

I’m a 42 year old man with a cat and still single due to living in a very rural republican area and all women here are hardcore Trump fans so I’ll just stay single and spend time with my cat.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It must be hard to find friends too in that area. Hope you are doing fine.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

I do alright, it’s crazy just like most things seeing people and friends you grew up with slowly becoming brainwashed and you having to distance yourself from them. Like most conservative people Covid broke and still is breaking a lot of people’s minds here.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 49 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Wanna date me? I'm Canadian and I have a really sexy permanent residence card waiting for you. Bats eyelashes.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Hey, wanna marry me and my wife?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

My wife and I are looking for cats
