View submission: 2024 US Post-Election Megathread

I don't want to date anymore. I'm, unfortunately, a straight woman and looking at the dating apps today is making me sick. Every guy I look at, I wonder if he voted for Trump. And I honestly just don't want to talk to guys in general.

Everything is making me sick. My flatmate's boyfriend said "why are y'all watching the elections so keenly, I don't care about the elections at all. So what if he wins" as he walked into our home yesterday.

I just want to scream at the top of my lungs and disappear to a place without men.

When I was dating, especially before I moved to a bigger city, I wouldn’t go on a first date before making sure they didn’t like trump. It was not rare at all that it ended there, and plenty of people acted like how dare I, what’s the big deal!! Likeeee wow dude

Jesus. The apathy is so sickening. I'm gonna take a very long break from dating as well. It must be so nice having the privilege of being "apolitical."

Me, googling how to become a lesbian even though I know that is stupid and makes no sense.

I wouldn’t, I thankfully married man who is truly progressive and has never fell victim to the manosphere, but if I was single I’d go 4B.

The fact that men can afford to just not give a single fuck is really messing with me today.

My best friend is a man who was raised with two sisters and tends to connect more with female friends than he does with men. And yet he just... Didn't vote this year. He says he is disenchanted with the whole thing, and I get that, but I'm like.... You had no desire to stand up for the rights of the women you claim to love and understand so well? None? Zero? We are losing our rights and you just. Fucking. Sat there. I don't even know what to say to him right now. I'm shocked.

Just to piggyback and go on a tangent. I was dating someone a few years ago during the Kavanaugh hearings who was (at the time) the only person in the world who knew that I was raped. I brought up the hearings to him and asked if he believed her and he said no basically. So I asked if he believed me that I was assaulted and he said yes. When I asked why he said it was because he knew me. Like there aren’t people who know Dr. Ford?!? So I asked if he was on the jury and I was a stranger to him would he believe me and he didn’t answer.

After that I tried some “non-political/ apathetic” men but in some ways that’s worse. I eventually paid for a week of Hinge premium so I could filter for liberal men. I have been talking to someone for the last month and we have the same political values and who knows if this specific relationship will go anywhere, but I’m never going back to dating anyone who doesn’t share my values. I guess I never really realized how important it is that the person I’m dating is actively involved and pays attention to politics.

And like others have said- women aren’t going to fuck these pos men. Especially the older we get.
