I don't need to prove the existence of "anti-maga hat". Anyone who has minimum understanding knows that whistleblows, signs and ways to identify other people values exist. Since girls are taught as children that they should be very careful on who they trust, they usually pay a lot of attention to the "clues".

Of course, many men who are sexist pretend not to be in order to trick women into giving them a chance. Sometimes it works, other doesn't. But the fact that many women would discard a man who oppenly shows signs of being sexist even before talking to him is true. Even if he supposedly is good looking or pretends to have money by driving an expensive car (which is the way some men try to signal they have money).

The woman who discard sexist men, would do their best to not even speak to him and not be close to him. So he might not realize he has been discarded. After all if the woman has her way, there won't be interaction at all.

Also, people talk about others. So things like "I knew his mother and she says that he always help her" or "I know him from class, he is a good cook" are things women take notice. Since now we have social network, reputation travels even faster. My point is, woman who want respectful man would look for actions done by such man that point into that direction or that show that he is just pretending to be. For example: a selfie in a dirty toilet would show that he is not used to clean, which implies he is not used to do domestic chores. That is a swipe left.

There is a lot of clues that people pick up even before they open their mouth. And men do the same based on women looks. She wears pink? girly girl. She has short died hair? dyke feminist. Could they be wrong? maybe. But they would sure assume things. I don't know why it surprise you that women do the same. XD

I'm simplifying, but once you think about your own ways of judging people by how they look you'll understand that this is just another area where this is done. I mean, I'm sure you can also have assumptions about the kind of men who wear suits versus a man who wear rugged jeans, right?

Each country has different "tells", but anyone who lives there knows them. Conservative men like to think that "if only women give them a chance" then the women would see all they have to offer, change their minds and like them. That what women really want is a dominant man and once they try it, everything would go great. Then you have the reality.

The less experienced progressive girls and women give them a chance and most times they ghost after because they didn't like them. But in order to avoid a potential danger, they won't openly say "I disliked you because your terrible sexist ideas", they would use euphemisms like "you are a very nice guy, but is not going to work". After a few of those failed dates, the progressive girls start paying attention to those types in order to completelly avoid them.

Now, let's be painfully honest, many MAGA men would wear the anti-MAGA hat if it existed in order to have sex or even date long term progressive women. In that case, progressive women would learn how to identify those MAGA men regardless and be aware of them in the same way that conservative women learned to identify men who pretended to be rich by renting a luxury car and go for the rich guys regardless.

My advice? If you are a MAGA man, just go for MAGA women and accept that those women would only care for power, money and looks. If you don't want to be MAGA and want to be judged by other qualities, then it has to be honest. Otherwise it ends showing.
