finding a conservative man for a partner has more to do with your career choice, some careers draw more conservative people, and friends, people who share your values, than where you live. there are conservative, single men in every city.

Anecdotal, but the most bible-thumping, god-loving, vanity hunting (in Africa) and conservative-leaning person i know lives in Austin. (And she has many local tribes.)
OP sounds like she’ll find her tribe in Dallas. A lot of “Southern Preppy”, prissy and pretty, church-going, prim and proper sweet ol’ former sorority sisters who end up marrying pastel-wearing, weekend hunting, finance bros (who were formerly frat bros) who live in the Park cities with their 2.5 kids and wall-to-wall wallpaper drawing room & their impeccable life.
I'm pretty reserved so I'm not sure if what you described is really what I'm looking for, but I definitely agree that DFW is a good option for me to explore.
All the downtown cores in Texas, voting by tract/block. I would argue that El Paso, the most overlooked Texas city, is the most liberal of all them. The blank spot in NE El Paso is Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Field. All these cities are 85-15 (darkest blue) for Democrats.

I agree to some extent, but if an area is dominated by people with one perspective, it's harder to find people with an opposing one, especially since people tend to hide their opinions if they're in the minority. It's a bit how I feel where I am now, both for friendships and finding a partner. I'd like to be somewhere that's more balanced, at a minimum, but am hoping for somewhere where I just feel more at home and not like I have to hide as much.

I appreciate the help!
You’re very welcome.
I’m a woman also, I sensed you weren’t only talking about politically conservative but rather socially conservative and carry yourself in a certain way that’s different from where you were/are. I’m not a politically conservative person but I think I can relate to what you were talking about. I like proper, white collar environment. I don’t drink/smoke/do drug/lead a rambunctious lifestyle and I don’t like to be loud in public. I’m careful with boundaries, I would be mortified if I ever come across as rude or “trashy”, and I’m never a partying type. Manner and social etiquette are very important. I would venture to guess you meant “values” in these sorts, and you like to be around people who share the similar attitude as you.
If you’re moving to Dallas/DFW area, and if you happened to be in sorority or any professional women’s organization, find your local chapter and network with the locals. Or find the local “women owned” small business.
I’m sure many women/men in Dallas can be down for a good time but as far as social presentation and the preferred values, within a certain socioeconomic range I think you probably will feel more at home there than say Madison or Eugene.

When you say conservative are you talking about politics or personality/lifestyle in general? What is the largest city you've lived in? Any city over a million should have enough of any persuasion where you don't have to hide. If you think that's not the case can you elaborate with an example? Cities that large usually won't have too strong of a rowdy frat scene, with the possible exception of Austin.
I'll give you an example of my own. I used to live in Houston, a blue leaning city, but I worked for energy companies mostly, except for a year in county government. In these environments I often find myself to be the one who has to keep my opinion or eyeroll to myself. One of the mid sized upstream energy company used to start prayers at company events, while some of my colleagues at the County like to share what he just read on Q Anon. No matter where you go you have to deal with people whose view you don't like.
You're probably right to ask about gender ratios though. I heard enough complaints from women in NYC and men in the Bay Area to know it can be a factor. You should ask yourself though if it makes sense to move just for that reason or if you should also care about things that interest you.
