As a 40 year old single conservative male living in a liberal state (CA), I can tell you it is immensely difficult to meet available women with similar values.

When they find out I'm a republican and a gun owner, they run screaming for the hills, just as the media brainwashing has taught them to.

I'm coming to the conclusion I may have to move to a more conservative state or end up a life long bachelor.

Man-to-man advice: try finding a freeperette. I haven't had anything work out yet, but I've had "good dates." That is, no screaming for the hills, no B.S., and people giving each other a fair chance.

I hate to make politics central to my life, and I could conceivably date a leftist woman in theory. The big problem, however, is that leftist women usually have a number of other traits that make them lousy to date. They tend to lack senses of humor, make fun of men for liking sports, and think all men are either too macho or too wimpy.

Better to remain single than to suffer the agony of dating a typical leftist woman. But there are good women out there.

Move to Michigan. We like men who are packing heat.

I'm 36, male, single, conservative Republican NYCer who moved to Las Vegas 2 years ago. I always treat my politics and opinions in a very matter-of-fact way, and I am always unapologetic about it.

In fact, I have been using the famous 'George Costanza' doing the opposite of what you would instinctively do since the late 1980s (before it was on TV!) and as I matured into my 20s. It really does work for most people.

I am a gentleman, but when women ask what I want in a relationship, and I state my case.

"Well, I want a very traditional homelife. I don't want a working wife. I'll make enough $ for a family. My dream woman would like being in a housedress, caring after about 4 kids, keeping the house running, she would be the undisputed boss of the family - of course, I would be the 'man,' as distinguished from the 'boss' - she would have chocolate kisses on the table ready when the kids get home from school, get them to do their homework, handle representing the family at school-related matters, etc.

Of course, I would help my bride in all these matters best I could. I would not be an absent spouse - my bride gets all my support on these matters.

I also include that my dream gal would be thrilled to see me come home and after the kids get to bed, be 'open for business' as I like to say, as I would show my gratidude, admiration, affection and love for her and her contributions. ;-) [Relax girls, not everyday, just enough to let her know I appreciate what she brings to my and our life.]

Can I tell you how many women I have told this to huff and puff? Haha! "Well, you asked!"

Here's the dirty secret - I've talked like this to prospective love interests, female friends, female coworkers I am friendly with, etc. Anyway, as you would expect, I have gotten all sorts of reactions! ;-)

Most common, as you may expect in nyc, is the huffing and puffing, name calling, strange psychyological analysis, etc. I never back down, though. Privately, however, several of these same women would respond to it with more subdued disdain but also some tacit, quiet, under-the-radar admiration and respect.

There are other women in my past. I currently casually date a very foxy young woman in her early 30s (lives in NYC and LA). She is pretty, trim, buxom, & vivacious. She is a musician and singer/songwriter, on occasion goes 'goth' believe it or not, but nothing egregious - no body art and no unusual holes in her skin, either. I like her and she is visiting me in LV for my birthday weekend, in fact. 'By the book' we are 2 very different people who most couldn't see getting along well. We get along quite nicely.

I am a man but not a brute. I am rough around the edges but not crude. I am a gentleman, but I know the only way a man can be truly 'gentle' is if he has a side to him that is a bit more coarse.

Any observations, Freeper ladies?

I'm a lot of things. But all the women in my life know one thing: I'm for real. And in the modern climate, that one quality gives me an incredible edge over many many of my male compeditors! ;-)

Don't give up - be direct, strong, sincere, but not a girlfriend with a penis, or a chauffer available for her whims, or an otherwise emasculated man that women have somehow convinced most men that's what women want.

Move to a town in the Red district, find a young woman with strong values and commone sense, then snatch her up fast! My daughter is going to have SUCH an easy time landing a good man!

Hey, my wife is a Democrat. Just don't lay it on thick, and they'll grow into it.
