NEW VOICE COLUMN UP....

...a miscellany of rightblogger sad trombones over Benghazi, the Roe v. Wade 40th anniversary, Bobby Jindal, etc.

Not making the cut was this plaint from a contributor to the new improved Dr. Mrs. Ole Perfesser page, pimped by the Perf himself:
Forgive me if this is the wrong place to put this. 
But this is an observation after using Okcupid futility for a few years now. Pretty much every single women on the site is a liberal who doesn't want to date conservatives. (They have a match question for this) 
Even women who are Ayn Rand fans. Even women who are hard core Christians, anti-abortion, anti-sex before marriage, etc, etc, etc 
The few exceptions are "centrists" who don't want to date conservatives. 
What gives? Is it just the web site? Are most women who lean conservative already married? Are women just more prone to be liberal?
Who wants to tell him? Dr. Helen double-dipped on this one and got some of her legendary commenters to weigh in. waxwing01 is my favorite for far, but the night is young.

Oh, but please read my thing too.

    Many Dr. Helen commenters point out that what women SAY they want in a man is not necessarily what'd light their fires. Take (as Roy suggests) waxwing01:


    "I like this Gone with The Wind how there is one man who prefers the saint woman while the beast whore spends her life trying to seduce him and only at the end does she see she was made to ride on the back of The Great Babylon beast and do her business with the beast man while the saints pray: Father please protect poor poor blind Babylon so they work out their problems and protect them from rivers of blood knowing their weaknesses before the appointed day but not as I will be as you will O lord."

    Dr. Helen's commentors seem to be missing something in terms of statistics: there are roughly as many women as men in the US. Since gay marriage isn't hoovering up that large a percentage of the female population, there are roughly as many single men as single women. Yet these put-upon MRAs note that singles sites are a buyer's market for women. If that is true, it indicates either a) most single women don't mess around on singles sites, or b) these guys just aren't what most single women are looking for. I suspect b), and I further suspect that it has very little to do with declared political leanings.

    It's entirely possible that women these guys would recognize as "conservative" figure online dating makes them look like a slut, but I dunno.



    I've dated* way more men than anyone might expect, and "conservative" is generally a good marker for a guy who doesn't have much of a sense of humor about himself, is defensive when his ideas are questioned, will alienate any of my friends who are not exactly like him, will piss off the staff at my favorite restaurant by sending everything back and not tipping well at all, will not respect my independence in much of any way, expects me to defer to his decisions on everything from where we date to how many kids we will have, is monogamous (officially, anyway), is likely to trade me in for a younger companion some day, comments on my weight or clothes, takes it belligerently personally when eventually broken up with, possibly doesn't understand consent at all, probably plans on bringing cigarettes or guns into my home, and is anti-choice and possibly anti-birth control. Also, in my experience, has probably never heard of female orgasms. So, yeah. 1880-era win.

    Yes, I'm generalizing, and in my experience conservative bi or lesbian women are not significantly better and have the added joy of being closeted. Frankly, the "Pro-life, we won't even discuss it," is enough of a deal breaker that I'd be saying "no conservatives" too.

    Aside from that, consider being courted by any of the folks at Renew America, NewsMax, or The Corner, male or female, based strictly on personality. Conservatism-as-we-know-it is inherently selfish and humorless. Sounds like a soulmate!

    *This is somewhat euphemistic, but yes, there have been long-ish term relationships. They have not, historically speaking, been things I remember with great joy.

    Clearly waxwing01 is a poet and doesn't know it:

    One thing for sure,
    conservative man,
    good if they put a high value on the women who still accept them

    after they brought us to fight North korea, Vietnam, Lebanon
    wise to run with tail between the legs, Iraq, one can see
    why conservative man appear to have
    THE MARK of CAIN on his forehead

    if you go
    to their sites
    women begin to debate if there is pure evil in the world

    Bow your head low to the woman still on your side
    and make sure she take away the gun under your pillow
    and put this in locked box so no one fears you at home

    I like this Gone with The Wind

    how there is one man who prefers the saint woman

    while the beast whore

    spends her life trying to seduce him and

    only at the end does she see she was made to ride

    on the back

    of The Great Babylon beast and

    do her business

    with the beast man

    while the saints

    pray: Father please protect poor poor blind Babylon

    so they work out their problems

    and protect them

    from rivers of blood

    knowing their weaknesses before the appointed day

    but not

    as I will be

  20. Another issue is that conservative men tend to stay in rural and exurban areas, while women gravitate toward more urban areas. The gender imbalance in NYC is somewhat legendary, but I imagine it's no better in East Bumblefuck, where most of Dr. Helen's commenters live in their Unabomber shacks.

  21. But this is an observation after using Okcupid futility for a few years
    now.



    Well, there's your problem. Uninstall the futility plugin.


    Pretty much every single women on the site is a liberal who doesn't
    want to date conservatives. (They have a match question for this)



    As an occasional (due to futility) user of OKCupid, I happen to know that there is a space to put your own politics, but I don't actually recall whether you have the ability to select a match based on preferred political persuasion. And even if you did, you only get that if you pay to get A-list status, so it's not something the many, many free users of the site (and most are free users, since it's one of the few that lets free members contact people). That said, there are certainly match questions you can answer which touch on politics, but you also rate responses by how important those responses are to you. So, for me, knowing a guy is pro-choice is a dealbreaker, and since politics are important to me, I have answered a lot of questions about politics and indicated the answers are important. So when Staff Robot calculates how well I match another person, those questions and his answers are taken into account. The formula seems to be working, since I get matched up with friends frequently, and the low-percentage matches all seem to be guys from meth country who want a Christian wife to raise their kids and shoot their guns.



    I also say in my profile that I will laugh right in your face if you tell me you're a libertarian, and don't even bother contacting me if you say your favorite author is Ayn Rand. I've had a couple of Randian guys who had otherwise high match percentages look at my profile A LOT before apparently deciding I was serious.



    Something tells me these guys have something completely off-putting in their profiles about beasts and whores, and, yes, that is a turn-off for most women, including conservatives who are on OKCupid and not Christian Mingle. As is seething anger that they're not getting the pussy avalanche they're entitled to because they have a penis.

  22. I like how they assume that there's something wrong with the women or the website rather than them wonder what's wrong with being a conservative.

    Good observation. Of course, if they did wonder what was wrong with themselves – or believed in, oh, empirical research, facts, or reflected on anything – they wouldn't be conservatives. (A recent piece pointed out that all the current "how the GOP should change" advice, whether sage or hilarious, misses the point that the entire reason they're conservatives is they don't want to change. They want to inflict their views on the world and force it to submit. Which, not coincidentally, is why women with an ounce of sense don't want to date them…

    I had "a date" with a conservative man who promised he'd leave me alone if I didn't want to see him after that. He was new in town and desperately lonely and wanted a native woman to help him adapt to Texas. So I went to a dance class and two-stepped with him, then he took me to a steak restaurant (which would have been my last choice) and during the dinner he talked about every single salary he ever had. Knocking the table over then running amok felt like a reasonable option.

    When I got out of his car, I bolted like a gazelle--- it was instinctive. He was as good as his word and stopped bothering me, in fact, he stopped coming to the restaurant I was working in altogether.

    It should be no surprise that liberal women do not want a traditional patriarchically heavy-handed relationship.

    I really don't see how you can wade into this tsunami of unrelenting bullshit each week. There's so much ass-pulled pork it would take a thousand VV columns to refute it all. Here's just one tiny morsel from Anne Sorock:
    I’ve quoted an LI reader before who told me that, having left his native Vietnam in the 1970s, was left with a chill as he rode the subway to work each day to see everyone’s nose buried in a New York Times. It reminded him of the one-newspaper, the state newspaper, he used to see in his native country.

    A real person who actually rides the subway would see that the percentage of riders struggling to read a broadsheet like the Times was always small and still is, especially compared to the number reading tabloids -- although the number reading any newspaper reflects the decline in newspaper readership generally these days. Not to mention the ridiculous notion that a multi-paper city like New York would ever remind a normal person of a one-newspaper totalitarian state. Do they really have to make it ALL up, no matter how inconsequential?

    John Hayward at Human Events didn't appreciate that Jindal said the GOP was not the party of Big Business. It's "worth bearing in mind," Hayward wrote, "that Big Business conveys benefits that middle-class people very much appreciate... Wal-Mart got huge because being huge allowed them to offer amazingly low prices to consumers."


    Pretty sure that most people not in the grip of the sort of religious mania required to choose Wal-Mart as your example in the first place would say it offered low prices in order to get huge, not vice-versa.


    Still, it's a measure of our hopelessness to consider that if the GOP was merely the party which facilitated Wal-Mart it would be several orders of magnitude less criminal than it actually is.

    Also, too: I thought that Jim Geraghty (in the NRO post linked in your Veev post) had an interesting choice in picking analogies, with his link to a screenwriter's rant about Superman Returns. First, although the link isn't working, we can look at the IMDB entry for the screenwriter, Terry Rossio, and note that he's not exactly in danger of winning an Oscar any time soon. Second, Superman Returns, despite its many, many flaws, was at least the work of someone (Bryan Singer) who was sincere in his hero worship to the point of being blind to the flaws in his approach. Even if it was a big waste of money and not a good take on the character, there are much, much worse movies that should have been Rossio's breaking point well before then; in fact, he may have written some of them.

    Similarly, while what happened at Benghazi is indeed a tragedy, there have been and still are many things going on in the Mediterranean/Middle East/Central Asia that greatly eclipse it, both in sheer body count and in senselessness. But Geraghty pretends that Benghazi is still the scandal nonpareil, because that's what his lords and masters were pushing during the campaign, and like someone who gets stuck with the task of cleaning up after what was supposed to be an epic party and turned out to be an epic fiasco, he has to pretend that it was still worth all the fuss.

    I'm somewhat sympathetic to this guy's pain. I actually met Mr. Aimai through the personals in the long ago days. You "meet" quite a few unstable guys, or you can if you don't have good "nut-dar." As for the wishful thinking part I would say that the honors are even on that score. Is it the case that women are wilfully deceiving themselves about what they want in a man? Doubtful--that would be like wilfully deceiving yourself about whether you want ice cream or cake for dessert: i.e. pointless. You have your choice and you take your choice. But the number of guys who write ads describing women they could only aspire to touch in magazine picture form? Infinity doesn't begin to approach the guys who will write their adds thus: "Have the beemer, have the money, have the job, need the blonde on my arm. No fatties need apply." I can't say whether they are deceiving themselves as to their own wants--I mean, hell, people want a lot of stuff. But deceiving themselves as to their own liklihood of getting their wants fulfilled? Quite possible.

    That being said these guys are exactly perfect for the Republican party as currently constituted. Over at John Cole's joint they are discussing the Come To Jesus basement tapes just issued by the GOP on the subject of the late great lamentation known as the 2012 election. Every one of the discoveries is a priceless pearl but this one reminds me quite a bit of the Ole Mrs. Perfersser's lovelorn posters. With the added delicious fact that Number 9 on the list of lessons learned is identical: Women don't know what they want and when they say they know what they want they are wrong.

    9. The Obama administration’s move to require contraception coverage in most insurance plans was perhaps not a suicidal overreach after all. When the administration came out with the new birth control coverage rules last year, many conservatives—and not a few liberal Catholics—predicted that the rules would cost Obama big with Catholic voters, maybe enough to swing the election. Several speakers at the summit noted grudgingly that this had not occurred. Instead, they cast the contraception move as a devious ploy to win Obama the votes of women—especially young and/or single ones. Michael Barone referred darkly to the contraception controversy having helped Obama win “the Lena Dunham generation, about which the less said, the better.”

Having left my native Midwest in the 1990's, I was left with a chill as I rode the bus to work each day in upstate New York to see everyone's nose buried in ... the local daily newspaper.

In fact, given that the voracious free-market monster Gannett had purchased the local evening paper only to kill it off, and given who's most in favor of ever-greater local media consolidation, I would suggest that her Vietnamese weeping patriot consider more carefully who might actually be to blame for the lack of alternative news sources in most communities.

    Really? Free citizens openly and by personal choice reading a newspaper which Sorock's reader personally disagrees with brings to mind political criticism?

    Actually, WalMart supposedly did as much with innovative logistics and using even more centralized control as they did with price. Also, designing employee expertise out of the equation is a big cost-saver. According to Big Box Swindle by Stacey Mitchell, anyways, they control all the stores' thermostats from Bentonville and really pioneered a lot of the techiniques all the big retailers do as far as stocking the stores. They got huge for a lot of reasons, including price, though the prices aren't as great as people think they are, because they have loss-leaders down to a science.

  101. Dr. Helen: The culture, media and apparently, women on this site, get upset if
    they see men who don’t hold the narrative that women are superior beings
    who are not to be criticized. I think some readers just find it odd
    that any male is allowed to express himself freely. In some ways, men
    have much less freedom than women in our society and this blog is here
    to provide an outlet for those men who want to discuss freely their
    feelings and thoughts about society, relationships and the culture. It’s
    too bad that there are so few places for men to do so.

  107. Yes, the Bengazi witch hunt is (surprise, surprise!) full of bad faith.

    But yeah, I have to chime in and defend Rossio a bit, too. (I wasn't a fan of Bryan Singer's Space Jesus for reasons I covered in my review, but De gustibus non est disputandum, YMMV and all that. I firmly agree that there are far worse films out there, but I believe Rossio was coming from the perspective, "Here is a big-budget film I wanted to like from someone whose work I've respected in the past, and it makes multiple inexplicably bad choices not to explore its own premises.")

    I've heard Rossio and his frequent writing partner, Ted Elliott, speak out here, and a few things are relevant. One, some of the bad decisions in their scripts (I could get specific) were forced on them by the studios or other people high-up over their objections. Two, they're pretty smart and nice guys, and unusually supportive of struggling screenwriters who aren't fully established yet (they host a screenwriting website). That doesn't mean nobody should criticize the problems in, say, the Pirates of the Caribbean films – I certainly do – but writing for hire is a hugely different beast from writing on spec (and some great specs get completely ruined if and when they're bought). Basically: It's completely fair to criticize any piece as it exists on its own merits, but sometimes (or often) that the finished product does not represent the quality of the work that went into it or the quality of the writer, especially in Hollywood (if the writer is also the director or producer, the power dynamics can become very different, but it's still rare to have carte blanche). Anyway, we could have a much longer conversation about this stuff…

    On a strangely related note, I've read sections of some of Mamet's for-hire drafts, and ouch, sometimes he really phones it in. He's been a highly-paid script doctor for over a decade, and liberal Hollywood has been remarkably good to his family (including his daughter). The Verdict is superb, but that was in the 80s and Lumet got involved. I would say that Mamet's best work on stage and screen is excellent, but sadly the dropoff can be fairly steep (he typically delivers good dialogue and scenes, but the overall narrative can be a crap shoot). As a screenwriter/script doctor, Mamet got top billing for the screenplay for Hannibal massively cleaned up later by Steven Zaillian (imdb claims this was according to WGA regulations). The sections of Mamet's draft I read were surprisingly bad; he couldn't even be bothered to spell Lecter's name correctly. (All mostly OT, but I sorta tied it back in by the end!)

    It's not that complicated - a matter of premises. Libertarians don't think laws against homicide of the post-born in its various forms are an impermissible infringement on liberty. Libertarians who think abortion is comparable to homicide against the pre-born think laws against that are equally compatible with libertarianism. Those that don't, don't.

    Not really related, but I remember Rebecca Watson's four male co-hosts on the Skeptics Guide to the Universe describe how eye-opening it was for them to share a podcast email address with her and see the ridiculous shit that got sent her way. (This was before the satanic harpy had the temerity to say "Don't do that" also.) And those guys are presumably used to some level of hate mail from the alternative medicine cranks, creationists and UFO believers they often make sport of.
