@Rutterman Online dating in general is rough for 80-90% of guys, so it does a number on their self-esteem. Dating advice threads are pretty rampant across the internet with people choosing to seek solutions among their peers. Similar threads pop up in forums for/about introverts, weight loss, personal finance, atheism, male pattern baldness, anti-feminism, etc.

Digging into political forums, this is something that usually comes up frequently. Most, if not all, of the guys end up blaming the woman for not agreeing with them. A few will even use the date as an opportunity to convert her. It's all pretty sad the deeper you go into it

@TinyViolins Loool, it's weird that conservative dudes are always saying that liberal girls are ugly, posting pictures of random women wearing alternative fashion, and then they're like "😡 these liberal women won't date me" when they see someone that they find attractive, lol. It's like...pick one, are we ugly or not? Damn

@SW-User 😅 🤣

@Miram I'd be willing to bet he does that with other women too.

@Rutterman yep, he does 😁 that is why I concluded it is due to my gender

@Miram Yes, that's true. He might not know what she really looks like. She might just have a pretty/sexy profile pic or he simply imagines that she's attractive.

@bijouxbroussard Lol. Fair point. I'm sure there are other men (on the left) who are like this fellow you mentioned.

@Niloo I agree with you. This could be applied more broadly. I just happened to be thinking about it in a political context when I wrote my post. And I should add that it's almost certainly not limited to guys on the political right. Guys are guys regardless of where they fall on the ideological spectrum.

@Rutterman Will I watch Arianne Zucker Having Sex With Female Celebrities

@Rutterman Wil I Hide in The Bedroom Like The Closet When I Watch Male Celebrities & Female Celebrities Having Sex in My Mansion

@Rutterman Will Musicluver Become My SW Groupie

@Rutterman Yes but you may *only* notice those that disagree.. if they agreed, you probably would never know that they were keeping their disagreement to themselves cos they fancied you..

I think it's human nature.. but given that generally speaking women are the more peace-keeping, nurturing, wanting everyone to get along, then it would be generally more women who would agree just to keep the peace.. a

@Adaydreambeliever I was that way when I was younger. Not anymore.

@Adaydreambeliever I guess it depends on the context. When women discuss politics, they seem to be about as willing as men to say things that might be upsetting to others.

@BeefySenpie Hahaha! She's a beauty, isn't she?

@Fungirlmmm I have a feeling it's both. If you were rude to them, they probably wouldn't be quite as nice to you.

@Rutterman true.

@DDonde I agree that this can be applied more broadly, but I do think it's more true of men than it is of women. That's what I've observed anyway.

@Rutterman 🤭 sooooo blah blah blah

@Vivaci I don't know what you mean. 😅 🙃

@Rutterman 🥴

@Quizzical Yes.

@SmartKat I have no doubt that you do.

@SmartKat I guess I'm still in that phase of life where I think they can be saved. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@sarabee1995 Knowing you as I do, I can just imagine how irritating this must be to you.

@Rutterman Yup. Brings out my bad side pretty quick. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@daisymay Interesting perspective. I think there's some merit in what you're saying.

@Fantabulous 😅 Works every time, no doubt.

@Harriet03 No, definitely not. 😄 🙃

@Magenta I agree with you. It can indeed be applied to many areas.

@Straylight Yes. You see this a lot.

@Peaches Lol. It sure is. 😅
