Why progressive women want to date men who act like conservatives
New York Post ^ | July 10, 2021 | Melanie Notkin

Posted on 07/10/2021 6:17:59 AM PDT by karpov

My friend Mark, 36, is a “catch” by many New York City standards. He’s good-looking, highly educated, and a talented photographer. He’s also progressive and participates in protests and gives to left-leaning causes. And Mark is looking for love. He wants to get married and have kids.

In a liberal city like New York, swimming with single women wishing they weren’t, one could assume Mark wouldn’t have a problem finding a mate. And while he dates and recently had a couple of short-lived relationships, Mark remains single. He’s trying to understand why.

“I’m really open-minded and cool about gender stuff on dates, but I always feel like I’m walking on eggshells,” Mark told me. “If I pay for dinner, it signals I don’t value my date as my equal so I’m super casual about it all. If she wants to pay or split it or whatever, that’s fine with me.”

I told Mark that, despite his best intentions, his egalitarian dating style could be the problem that’s holding him back. While some women balk at any hint of traditional male gender behavior, more lament the loss of chivalry. I’m one of them. I find it attractive when a man plans our first few dates and knowingly walks curbside when we’re together. It signals he wants to protect me from passing traffic or errant puddle splashes.

Why would conservative men want to date progressive women? There are many books on relationships for women. Are there any good ones for men? I'm a middle-aged married guy but am wondering what advice to give my teenage sons.

Because they don’t like liberal girly-men?

Just tell them not to date whores.

Short term gratification defeats long-term success

Dear Mark,

Take your testicles out of your purse and cowboy up.
If a woman wants to date a a person that acts like a woman, they will date a woman, they don’t want you.

Maybe he and his boyfriend will tie the knot and adopt a couple of victims/children.

Not a good look man. When you are dating dating its a me Tarzan you Jane kind of thing. "The fundamental things apply."

Because they do not want to wake up next to a closet queer

Um, because they're young, dumb, and full of c#m? Because progressive women are "easy?" Because progressive women don't expect men to pay for the entire date? (Though the article claims otherwise.)

From the article:
‘The female desire to feel protected and looked after is built into our DNA, says evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller, a professor at the University of New Mexico and author of several books including “The Mating Mind.”’

There’s a problem. It’s a big problem. The Left cannot entertain the idea that anything at all is “built into our DNA.” Nothing can be, or their entire enterprise falls apart, and gas chambers immediately follow. They are already at the point of saying that “gender” isn’t biological. I’m not sure where they go from here. I assume that age will soon be a “social construct” if it isn’t already.

Mark is a propagandized dbag that will end up in a gulag or worse as a useful idiot. Why marry this “guy” in the 1st place? Why subject the children you’d have with him (if he’s able without crying) to a Daddy being taken away to get his mind right?

Progressive women are needy. It gets old after while.

Or, women don’t want to invest all their energy, effort and their limited and precious ‘pre-wall’ time on a guy who will discover he is really gay and leave them right about the time their sexual market value plunges to Davy Jones’ locker.

A “highly educated” photographer?
I don't know any highly educated photographers.

This youtube channel actually has some amazing advice for young men.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Iaz96RkYE-MOjnq5NPgqw

It’s called “Far From Average”. The videos are peppered with “pg-13” drawings of women, but don’t let that fool you. I wish I had had that advice when I was a young man. They ooze with relationship wisdom for the young.

It’s rock solid.
