Former Trump staffer launching conservative dating app The Right Stuff

Conservatives looking for like-minded partners can swipe right to find matches in a new dating app called The Right Stuff, which will be released in September.

The matchmaking app, “built for conservatives to connect in authentic and meaningful ways,” according to its website, is free to use but accessible by invitation only.

“So not everyone can join,” Ryann McEnany, the sister of former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, said in a promotional video for the app.

John McEntee, a policy aide to former President Donald Trump, and Daniel Huff, a Trump appointee to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, co-founded the app. It is backed by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, Axios reported in February.

The matchmaking site is aimed at young singles “who know that traditional is attractive,” says a tagline on The Right Stuff website.

They’re the anti-Tinder, Bumble, and similar dating apps that pretend to be inclusive and tend to attract more left-leaning users.

For example, The Right Stuff profiles do not include dating searcher pronouns. Also, only people who identify as male or female can join.

“Those are the only two options, ladies and gentlemen,” McEnany said in the promotional video.

He also took jabs at existing dating apps that The Right Stuff believes have failed to make romantic connections among young conservatives.

“We’re sorry you had to put up with years of bad dating and wasting time with people who don’t see the world our way, the right way,” McEnany said.

The Right Stuff also bills itself as a place to “connect with people who aren’t offended by everything,” according to its website.

Several previous dating apps aimed at helping conservatives get married have failed and are now defunct. They include Righter, Donald Daters and TrumpSingles.
