Dating in the U.S. Is About to Get Much Harder for Men—And Here's Why

The reality is simple: dating is going to get a lot worse for the average man in the United States. A growing number of women are furious that men have voted against their rights—and rightfully so. Men don’t have to worry about their bodily autonomy being taken away. Women do. Women have long suffered from being oppressed, controlled, and disregarded by men. And while the world has made some progress, that pattern continues today, even in places like Afghanistan. But in the U.S., it's happening on a different scale. By voting for Trump and others who actively work to limit women's rights, men are playing a part in stripping away the very freedoms women have fought for.

Let’s face it: many men simply don’t care. Whether it’s a mother, sister, or wife—men often seem indifferent to the basic rights of women. Worse, some even vote to actively undermine them. Why would any woman, especially in today’s political climate, want to engage with men who are clearly voting against their autonomy? If you’re a man who voted for policies that harm women, why would any woman want to date you? It’s a question that more women are asking every day.

A Deep Divide: Women and Men Have Very Different Views on Rights—and It’s Impacting Dating

The truth is, women and men don’t just have different political views—they have fundamentally different values when it comes to rights, equality, and freedom. The majority of women identify with the Democratic Party, and that’s not a coincidence. It shows a stark divide between men and women, particularly among younger generations. If you think this divide won’t impact dating, you’re wrong.

Women have more at stake than men when it comes to political decisions, and as a result, women are becoming far more selective in their dating choices. We’re looking for men who care about our rights, who recognize that these issues directly affect us, our lives, and our future. Voting against women’s rights isn’t just a political stance—it’s a signal. And women are paying attention. In fact, the 54% of women who voted for Kamala Harris in 2020 are not going to be interested in dating men who voted for the man who tried to take their rights away. And if you think that’s not a big deal, you’re seriously underestimating just how much this issue matters to women.

So, Who Are Men Actually Going to Date?

Here’s where things get tricky for men. A lot of men don’t realize that the women who align with their views are, in fact, already married. According to surveys, married men and women are far more likely to lean Republican, with 59% of married men and half of married women identifying with or leaning toward the GOP.

And let’s not even talk about the MAGA women—those bleach-blonde, Instagram-ready, “sorority girl” types who idolize rich, powerful men. These women aren’t looking for average guys—they’re looking for wealthy, successful "Chads" who fit the mold of a tall, powerful, and ultra-rich man. So, by voting for Trump, you’ve essentially alienated half of the female population. That’s right: you voted for a man who actively undermines women’s rights and, in doing so, closed the door on a huge chunk of potential dating prospects.

And don’t fool yourself into thinking that those MAGA women are interested in you unless you fit their ideal—a rich, powerful, 6’2" man. Funny how men constantly complain that women only want tall, rich guys, yet they voted for a tall, rich guy with a “gold-digging” wife. Think about it: do you honestly believe that MAGA women are interested in splitting the bill when their idol is a billionaire married to a woman who doesn’t even work? They want to be kept, not treated as equals.

The Truth About Dating Dynamics: Men Are Already at a Disadvantage

Dating has never really benefitted women as much as it has men. Women have become increasingly self-sufficient. Meanwhile, men often rely more heavily on women for emotional connection because they typically don’t have as many deep, platonic relationships. And let’s not ignore the fact that men also have a higher need for sex. But now, things are about to get much worse for men.

What happens when women now face the very real possibility of being forced to carry a pregnancy to term if contraception fails? Why would any woman want to have sex with a man if every encounter risks ruining her health, her finances, or her future? The reality is that sex has become dangerous for women. It’s no longer just about pleasure—it’s about survival. Every sexual encounter comes with the risk of pregnancy, and the thought of being forced into a pregnancy she doesn’t want could be terrifying. It’s hard to enjoy sex when you’re constantly worried about the consequences.

And this isn’t just theoretical—many women are starting to avoid relationships altogether, knowing that they’re at risk of being trapped in a cycle of unwanted pregnancies and financial ruin. In a world where their rights are being stripped away, how can they feel safe, let alone experience pleasure? If you don’t see how this impacts dating, you’re missing the bigger picture. Maybe it’s time to invest in vibrator stocks, because that’s the new reality for many women.

The Impact on Men: A Growing Crisis of Loneliness and Disconnection

You’ll hear some people say, “People will still date.” Yes, people will, but not everyone. The number of lonely, sexless men is already on the rise, and it’s only going to get worse. With women becoming more selective and men alienating half the population with their votes, we’ll see the male loneliness epidemic spiral out of control. And let’s not even mention the falling birth rates—because when women are scared to have children due to a lack of control over their own bodies, the birth rate will inevitably plummet.

But here’s the bottom line: If you voted for Trump or any politician who doesn’t prioritize women’s rights, you’ve made it harder for yourself to connect with women. The choices you make in the voting booth have real consequences—especially when it comes to relationships. And if you’re wondering why women aren’t interested in you, it might not be your looks, your personality, or your bank account. It might just be the fact that you’ve actively chosen to undermine their rights.
