Conservative dating app 'The Right Stuff' to launch in summer

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: CBS42

Former Pres. Donald Trump’s former political aide John McEntee is set to launch a conservatives-only dating app this summer – becoming the latest in right-targeted social media sites.

“Conservatives deserve an easy way to connect,” McEntee told Axios in a comment.

Axios reports that venture capitalist Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal, has invested $1.5 million into the app, which will be “catered to conservatives living primarily in big, progressive cities.” Until recently, Thiel was a board member of Meta, Facebook’s parent company, but said he was leaving to support conservative political candidates.

The conservative dating app also has some name competition with The Right Stuff, a New Jersey-based dating site for Ivy League students, graduates and faculty. The app also shares an unfortunate name with a noted white supremacist website, UpRoxx reports.

This is a stupid idea. All of the dating sites already have fields in their questionnaires for political orientation. This is like starting a web site for selling old magazines because there are liberals on eBay. I really hope this fails.

Also, I imagine liberals will create fake profiles on this site and prank it into uselessness. At least, I hope they do.

Some clever Dems could go on it and create havoc. Dems should go on the site in order to mess with the GQP's minds, and bodies. I would go out with one and at the end of the night tell him/her I have Covid.

"Hi! My name is Cynthia! I love Donald Trump, Jesus, our beautiful flag, children and the thought of loving a good Christian Conservative man.

"You're probably wondering about me. I was born during the spring. I can't tell you what my 'sign' is because Jesus says astrology is the Mark of Satan. I have six beautiful children by six different men, but I'm a virgin because everyone knows you keep your virginity so long as you only use your womanhood for what God intended, which is MAKING BABIES! My favorite TV show is "19 Kids and Counting." My dream is to find a rich, handsome, Trump-loving man who stands for the flag and kneels for the cross to let me fulfill my dream of being a SAHM to twenty children."

(They don’t care if you’re married or not)

Some reports have also noted that, once a person gets past the initial sign-up page, he or she can choose "happily married" or "unhappily married" as a status before finalizing a profile and meeting new potential dates.

A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.
