Interesting, as a leaning conservative myself I never had any issues getting women. Something tells me it’s not really about your beliefs but confidence. If you project confidence in your beliefs women and people in general will be drawn to you. Also I noticed from my previous serious relationships that my girlfriends would tend to agree with my point of view after some time.

"Baby, I want to take away your rights" he said confidently.

I swooned. The masculine strength of his opinions assaulted me in waves. I tried to resist but my feeble feminine brain was unable to come up with a single rebuttle, my resolve cracked under the strain.

"Oh take me, take me now under the steely gaze of your Anne Rand poster" I gasped, racistly.

Did they enthusiastically agree or just stop challenging you when you started talking about it?

I heavily suspect it's more about the specific type of person you get together with.

Wow that an alpha! Did you know that wolves only display alpha behavior and hierarchy while they're in captivity? The author who originally wrote about alpha male behavior in the 80s realized this later and has spent the rest of his life trying to walk back his findings because human males in captivity have been trying to emulate his flawed findings. It's very ironic that self proclaimed alpha males are actually just saying that they're imprisoned in some way and are coping with that by trying to desperately find some kind of control in a fake air of "confidence". It's pathetic and sad really. Actual men are empathetic and looking for an equal partner instead of someone they can bludgeon into their way of thinking because they're so insecure.
