Men, don’t rely on a woman’s Hinge profile to tell you what she wants out of a relationship. Lead, and date with the intention of marriage.
At this year’s Turning Point USA America Fest, The Daily Wire’s Isabel Brown sat down with four Gen Z ladies who made that message loud and clear when it comes to what conservative women want out of a relationship: “Put a ring on it.”
“Waiting over five years to put a ring on the finger is not right,” Sophie Fuller said during The Daily Wire Dating Panel.
In a world where having a deep dating roster is considered a flex, conservative Gen Z ladies are dating for marriage (For non-Gen Z readers who don’t know what a dating roster is, it’s where people have multiple guys or girls to choose from, instead of dating someone exclusively).
Dating for marriage means the girls aren’t going for just anyone. The four told Brown they want a Godly man, who is strong in his beliefs both spiritually and socially.
“We don’t have men who are strong in their convictions,” Caitlyn Harris told Brown. “I think social media has had a huge impact on that.”
Lucky for Harris, she’s 19 and engaged to a man who asked for her number instead of her Snapchat and took her to church.
“It was important to him before we even really started to date that I met his church family,” Harris said.
What? There are still people out there who want to do things the old-fashioned way? Settle down? Have some kids? Raise a Godly household? Turns out, a man of faith is the top characteristic the women on the panel are looking for in their future spouse, starting as early as high school.
“I hope high school boys realize girls are paying attention to this,” Elle Anderson, TPUSA High School Student of the Year, said. “We are paying attention to how you treat your family.”
The four girls all agreed that God is the center of marriage.
“You are connected to God more when you are married,” Fuller said.
Wise women all around at this year’s AmFest.
Brown reminded the four ladies that what they are looking for in a marriage is exactly why Charlie Kirk emphasized marriage and family to young men so much. Kirk wanted marriages built the way God intended them to be, which is the man leading and loving his wife the way God loved the church.
“It’s been an incredible journey being led by someone who wasn’t afraid to lead,” Brown said about her own marriage.
So men, less focus on rizz and more focus on raising the bar when it comes to relationships. Flowers and cards are nice, but Gen Z women made it clear on the dating panel that they want something more meaningful.
“I am so excited to see the younger half of Gen Z have such a huge heart for marriage and family,” Brown said.
Conservative women want to get married, have children, and build a legacy.
“The truth is more than anything you will ever do, more than your college diploma, more than your job promotions … the greatest legacy you will ever … leave behind is how you love your family and being able to raise and shepherd this next generation,” Brown said.
