Gals! Are you looking to date men who get inexplicably angry about black women playing flutes?
Fellas! Are you looking to date women who sound like bad actresses awkwardly reading their lines off of a teleprompter?
Well, now there’s a dating app for you!
Anyway, the dating app is live (at least in Washington DC), it’s funded by asshole billionaire Peter Thiel, and it’s going to fail as hard as Truth Social. I can only assume.
It’s not that conservatives don’t need help finding dates. They complain all the time that no one wants to date them.
“Seventy-two percent of young Democrats say that they wouldn’t date a conservative,” Right Stuff co-founder Dan Huff told POLITICO. “The reverse isn’t true. So essentially they started this. We had to build this app to survive.”
Good luck with that!
You see, when news broke about the impending launch of the app, the Daily Beast made some calls to see how it might be received by actual right wing ladies. Not so well, it turns out, at least if you’re looking for a dating app that won’t be a total bratwurst fest.
Instead of drawing singles, the app has thus far largely drawn mockery, according to female Republican operatives who spoke to The Daily Beast.
Two Republican staffers in Washington, D.C., said many young conservative women have ignored [the site’s] outreach and have instead jeeringly passed around screenshots of [their] messages to group chats.
Other Republican staffers in D.C.—the sort who boast about downing drinks at the Navy Yard watering hole Mission and claim their pronouns are “Yee” and “Haw” on their Instagram profiles—told The Daily Beast the app has an array of possible problems, like liberals masquerading as right-wingers and the awkward potential of matching them with conservative staffers they already know.
“It’s all of Mitch McConnell’s staffers,” a female Republican operative said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because she still works in pro-Trump politics.
That does not sound promising.
Also, the Beast reports, there’s already another well-established dating app called The Right Stuff that has nothing to do with politics, and they’ve already sicced their lawyer on The Right Stuff Mach Two. So they’ve got that going for them.
This app, I suspect, is going to end up with roughly 200 men per woman. And that woman is going to have to block every single one of them.
