Dating guru explains why liberal men can never satisfy liberal women

A self-confessed serial dater and bestselling author feels liberal women could prefer to find love with a conservative man in order to feel safe and respected.

Steve Santagati, who penned the 2008 book, “The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate–and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top,” said many liberal women can’t find what they’re looking for among men who they agree with politically.

“It’s not that women like, quote unquote ‘conservative men,’ they just don’t like liberals, and they don’t like men that are not real men,” Santagati told Fox News Digital.

“Any liberal woman who’s with a liberal man, chances are she hates him, she resents him,” Santagati continued. “Women want to be with a man that they can trust that they feel safe with. And the bottom line is conservative men have these qualities over liberals by a landslide.”

Santagati feels many women believe in traditional gender roles, even if they’re afraid to admit it. He said that deep down, most women want a masculine mate, regardless of whatever is politically correct to acknowledge these days.

“No matter what they tell you, ‘Equality, blah blah blah,’ if they keep pushing that on you, ask any woman to give you an honest answer. You’re driving down the road. It’s pouring rain. You get a flat tire, and your beta liberal husband says to you, ‘Honey, I don’t want to usurp your femininity. So why don’t you go out and change the tire, and I’ll wait in here and listen to NPR?’ It ain’t going to happen. She’s going to hate you,” Santagati said.

Santagati was amused last month when CNN’s Dana Bash essentially suggested during coverage of the Democratic National Convention that the Harris-Walz ticket appeals to males who might not be as masculine as their Republican counterparts.

“They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC,” Bash said.

Santagati agrees that Walz and Emhoff aren’t exactly oozing masculinity, but he felt Democrats were targeting traditional males by playing up the Minnesota governor’s experience as an assistant high school football coach and pushing camouflage campaign hats. 

Santagati laughed as he sarcastically suggested that Cabela’s bros and men who shop at Bass Pro Shop might suddenly support Walz because he likes camo, too. He also doesn’t think the typical non-masculine male can convert themselves into someone desirable to women if they’re too into far-left ideology. 

“It’s not like you can pick up a fly-fishing rod or shoot a gun and all of a sudden, you’re a man,” Santagati said. 

“It really comes down to … logic and common sense,” he continued. “Can I take care of you? Am I a stable guy? Those are the overriding factors that make a conservative very different than a wishy-washy man-bun liberal.”

Santagati also joked about the pool of single fellows hanging around last month’s DNC.

“If you look at the DNC … and you look at the people that are involved, especially at the level that will attend such an event, they’re very angry people,” Santagati added. “The men are not being true to themselves. It’s all a veneer of, ‘Oh yes, I apologize for my Whiteness. I apologize for my male toxicity. I apologize for these things,’ women don’t want that.”
