"Anya Lacey is aware of the oxymoron that comes with being an OnlyFans creator while aspiring to be a trad wife. When the 19-year-old Florida-based creator decided to get serious about dating this year, she ran into a wall. Either a lot of conservative men are "immediately turned off by what I do," she says of being an OnlyFans creator, or the men she met on dating apps weren't all that serious about commitment. "It's a video game to them.""
"The first was to find Lacey a husband (users can fill out a "Date Me" application). The second-and this very much seems to be its larger aim-was for the site to serve as a kind of relationship roadmap for conservative singles serious about finding love. Billed as "America-First Dating," the site provides suggestions for "non-negotiables" ("secure borders, secure families") as well as dating tips for women ("let him drive the date; you drive the conversation") and men ("exclusivity before intimacy")."
""Conservatism is really associated with men and masculine energy, and that's who was leading the industry," Lacey says. "But now you have a lot of women coming out of the woodwork." Lacey is part of an expanding network of women influencers, creators, and media personalities who represent different factions of the conservative movement-spanning faith and flag moderates to MAGA fanatics-jockeying for a larger stake in the dating zeitgeist."
Right-wing influencers and creators are actively reshaping dating culture by promoting conservative courting norms and traditional gender roles. Anya Lacey, a 19-year-old OnlyFans creator aspiring to be a trad wife, encountered difficulty finding committed conservative partners and launched dateanya.com to both find a husband and offer a relationship roadmap for conservative singles. The site markets itself as "America-First Dating," prescribes policy-aligned non-negotiables like secure borders and families, and offers gendered dating tips. A growing network of women across conservative factions now uses platforms to reclaim traditional relationship narratives and counter feminist and swipe-driven dating norms.
