https://www.thedailybeast.com/women-tur ... ight-stuffWomen Turned Off by Billionaire’s Conservative Dating App
The Peter Thiel-backed dating app “The Right Stuff” is already off to the wrong start.
A new pro-Trump dating app backed by right-wing tech billionaire Peter Thiel has not even launched yet, but it’s already facing lots of rejection.
The Right Stuff, scheduled to debut this month, was co-founded by former Trump body man and aspiring matchmaker Johnny McEntee, who recruited the sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to help launch the app.
Kayleigh’s sister, Ryann McEnany, is particularly suited for the job. She has 146,000 Instagram followers—mostly young conservatives—and has been assigned a particularly tough task: convincing attractive, conservative women to sign up.
Her basic pitch, according to Instagram messages reviewed by The Daily Beast, is a mix of flattery and exclusivity: “Hi, I’m working with John McEntee’s team on an exclusive conservative dating app called The Right Stuff that’s expected to launch this summer! We would love to get you on our list for early access to the app.”
But despite the aim of enlisting female Capitol Hill staffers and right-wing politicos, the startup is already facing some problems.
For one, there’s an emerging legal dispute with another dating service, also called The Right Stuff.
That “The Right Stuff” has existed for more than two decades, but it has nothing to do with conservative politics.
The company is planning to send a cease-and-desist letter to the Thiel-backed operation, according to Michael Feigin, an attorney working on the case. The existing “dating service is for people that have higher levels of education, and many of them are left-wing, so they don’t like the confusion,” he said.
The founder of the original The Right Stuff dating app, Dawne Touchings, claimed to The Daily Beast she holds the trademark to the “same name” the conservative dating app has poached. “There are a lot of other really good right-wing names that they could choose,” she said. “They are very smart, I am sure they could come up with something!”
“I have a lawyer, and he is contacting them,” Touchings continued. “That is my incorporated name.”

I thought we were discussing this somewhere, but I failed to locate it. So I'm starting a new topic, it's already hilarious and facing lawsuits.

If your surname is Touchings, what else would you do but run a dating site? Some names just fit their careers perfectly. (There's a word for that but I don't remember what it is.)

New conservative 'The Right Stuff' dating app has some amazing reviews
Here’s a sample: “I love my country. I love the second amendment. And I love God. These days it’s hard to find a woman who values my patriotism. My faith. And so after being ghosted by every match on Tinder, I decided to give this app a try. I created my profile, uploaded a selfie of me sitting in my truck with sunglasses, and it worked great. The interface was intuitive and easy to use. But the weird thing is, I couldn’t find any women on it. I don’t know, maybe the app is bugged? I tried switching my preference to men (just to make sure it was working) and dads of handsome men came up. I hope developers fix this.”
give you a one-star review that could be real or could be a joke.
Socialist App in Wolves Clothing
I saw this app advertised on one of my trusted conservative news channels. My wife passed away two days ago and I think I’ve mourned long enough. She would want me to be happy and get back out there on the dating scene. So when I saw this Right Stuff stuff that was about dating stuff I knew I had to jump on it.
Much to my disappointment when I signed up, I realized it’s invite only. How am I supposed to marry the next woman of my dreams (preferably she has a great life insurance plan) when it’s invite only? I did some research and found out why.
This app is actually funded by Bill Gates. What happens is they take your photo and information and store it in a database that will be used in the future as a way to identify and exterminate all of us conservative Christian’s.
I suggest you delete this app now and never use it again.

I'm 70 and happily married, but as a raging yet terrified conservative bigot Trump worshipper, I felt I should support this idea, so I registered with the username Donald Rambo White Jesus Thumper (I had my name legally changed). But the minute I put in photos of my saggy old bones, all these hot young ladies were sending me nude photos and my wife found out! I'm in huge trouble, don't ever use this app!
