Should I date older to try dodging redpilled/alt right guys?

[Anonymous]

i've been thinking about this question lowkeyly since shortly after trump was reelected, since that's when i really noticed the manosphere & the heritage foundation's agendy and all the other 'good' stuff. i feel like at this point most guys my age are at least somewhat contaminated with manosphere or alt right talking points (i even personally know guys that are kneck deep into that shit) which is really scary to think about. it's pretty concerning namely because i definitely don't want to risk accidently dating or worse, marrying & having kids, with a genuine misogynist who worships fresh&fit and nick fuentes. especially if you factor in potential rolling back of no fault divorce, birth control, etc. a lot of those dudes pretend to be normal or downplay what they are, so it's often hard to know, especially in the beginning. even if you get with a normal dude, there's a big risk his algorithm eventually ends up brainwashing him. even if these guys don't end up on the farther end of the spectrum, they still end up with ideas and attitudes about women that feel remniscent of the 80s, and that's pretty terrible already.

now about the question, i know that this touches every age bracket but it's heavily concentrated on gen z dudes and younger. i'm in my mid twenties (the age of my profile is muchhh older, thought it was slightly funny when i created my account years ago) for reference. i'm really most attracted to guys my age, never been that much of a daddy appreciator or anything, but i think it could maybe be more wise potentially? to date older at this point. i feel like millenials are much less contaminated by this type of stuff, or am i wrong? (atm that refers to 30-40yos). could maybe consider younger gen x (like 45-50something yos), though i'm typically not very physically attracted to men those ages and there's the risk that if they're willing to date a woman in her mid 20s it could mean bad things about their real beliefs and attitutes to women.

no

yes

I don't know

You have a point.

Younger guys in your generation unlike millennials who grew up without YouTube are much less likely infected with the Manosphere Redpill BS to which guys in your generation a lot of them growing up in the digital age have been exposed to and brainwashed by those men who teach such toxic ish.

I personally think, younger or older isn't necessarily the concern you should worry about but to try to have open and honest conversations while dating and hope you don't end up with a Redpill idiot.

Nothing is 100% guaranteed in life except death.

Seems to me that it takes a while to get to know someone anyway, so I'd suggest focusing on finding someone you enjoy spending your time with rather than one who putatively completely shares your politics and then see how it goes.

They are such a minority, I don't think it's necessary to do that.

You're 45+. Do what you want. You don't need our approval.

She's in her 20's. You didn't read.

That won't help. You'll just have to weed them out yourself. Mostly their misogyny will become obvious pretty quickly, or you could just come up with some questions.

Anyone with half a brain knows to avoid the toxic right-wing people.

Most guys aren't into the Redpill stuff.

And most older men who date women much younger than them just see them as sex toys.

Do the right choice and date men your age.

It says you're 45 plus, I don't think you have to worry about having kids anymore

Your 45 plus. Does it really matter? At this point you should just be grateful there are men still willing to f*** you.😆
