I was dating hot and heavy in 2020-2023, on several dating sites. Women either said they weren't political or not interested. That's a big, fat flag, "If you're Republican, STFU about it." Others simply stated that MAGA need not apply.
I was talking to a potential date (who turned out great!) and joked that I was something of a redneck.
"Uh... exactly how redneck?"
"I loathe Trump if that's what you're asking."
"OK. Whew. Thanks, just had to check."
And this was in NW Florida, about as conservative an area as it gets. There were very few women openly looking for conservative men, and I only remember a single MAGA nut.
Related note; I can't tell you how many women I met, including my wife, who said they would go on a date and the man would start going off about Trump bullshit. Imagine that. On a first date.
Better the first date than 6 months in.
