“The Right Stuff” Conservative Dating App Looks Like a Dumpster Fire
And here’s why, from someone who used to work at a dating website.
“The Right Stuff” is a new dating app for conservatives that will launch within a month. Here’s exactly why I think it will absolutely suck, and why I’m so excited to see it collapse in on itself.
