    Not of society, but of society's interaction with government. That's what it should be the base of. And you absolutely can combine that with Christianity (Or at least Catholicism with a Pope not calling for a holy war or something stupid). I'm pretty sure it can also be combined it with Judaism...

    Eh, not exactly. Libertarianism ignores that, but not libertarians. Libertarianism is an intentionally incomplete philosophy. It only labels certain actions as bad, it says absolutely nothing about what is good in life. So different libertarians come to different conclusions there.

    The issue is you are offering something they don't want. Simping/being a nice guy will not result in getting an exclusive relationship with people who aren't interested in such. Meanwhile, looking for and dating a person who's looking for a nice person to make a life with will work, because...
