Study finds that attractive people have more liberal views

[Hydera]

Holy hell you all are good at reading crap into things that fit your world view.  This "study" did not show that liberals are more attractive.  If I posted a thread title this disingenuous the OP and a fellow poster with three posts in this thread would, RIGHTFULLY, be up my ass about it.  Yet, here we are.

Your right it implies that people with more socially liberal views tend to be more attractive than people with socially conservative views but we all know how most of these vote.

Conservative women in the media are generally more attractive than liberal women (Fox vs MSNBC etc)

Thats not necessarily because conservative women are more attractive - it could be that Fox puts way more points on a woman's looks in the hiring process. There certainly is a certain look and voice that most Fox anchorwomen tend to have, while MSNBC has more variation.

Hasn't been my experience, haha...

First of all, there is likely no correlation, and almost all of it has to do with lurking variables.  Secondly, if we are going to have this "low brow" of a conversation, they usually equate to different kinds of attractive.  Hot girl you meet in Denver that likes to smoke that you meet while skiing?  Yeah, liberal.  Blonde smoke show you see out to brunch with her friends in Nashville?  Not liberal, lol.

TBH, I do get a raging hard on for any man who is supportive of a woman's right to choose. So it might be true.

 The common theme I've found with most conservatives is that they preach rationality but yet wildly overreact to perceived threats.

[Person Man]

People who need to be told what to do want to be told what to do. In 1969 and even 1919, that was the case with money. In 2019, that is the case with everything but money.

Who literally cares , judging people on how attractive they look is totally immature and childish.

But Fox News told me that liberal women were ugly.

It’s true, liberal women like Tulsi Gabbard and Kyrsten sinema can never live up to the likes of conservative women like Kim Davis and Karen Pence

McSally is by far the coolest female senator :

McSally was the first American woman to fly in combat following the 1991 lifting of the prohibition on female combat pilots. McSally flew the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft over Iraq and Kuwait during Operation Southern Watch. She was also the first female commander of a USAF fighter squadron (the 354th Fighter Squadron (354 FS), based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base). In 2001, she sued the United States Department of Defense in McSally v. Rumsfeld, challenging the military policy that required United States and United Kingdom servicewomen stationed in Saudi Arabia to wear the body-covering abaya when traveling off base in the country.

Yeah, and Tomi Lahren is hotter than Sally Kohn.  Anyone who actually thinks there is a strong correlation smells of confirmation bias.

[President Johnson]

Younger and higher educated people are likely to be healthier, eat more consciously, spend more time engaging in sports, have less stress etc. And skew liberal. Lots of potential spurious relationships here.

Fair explanation. I remember, though, that a German study a few years found that right-wing politicians are more attractive than left-wing ones.

That's entirely the reason. Fox News used to have a "no-pants policy" for their women. I guess that all changed when they hired Jeanine Pirro...she's ugly on the inside so I have no qualms about mocking her appearance on the outside too.

[ProudModerate2]

Can't confirm, I'm ugly as sin and also "far-left".

[Wazza [INACTIVE]]

Stuff like this is peak hackery.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Democrats do have the most attractive member of congress.  Though in France the National Front has Marion Marechal.

Trump likely cares about this. He will probably get triggered and call it "fake news". It was widely reported that he strongly considered Mitt Romney as Secretary Of State, despite not seeing eye to eye with him. The reason? He "looked the part". He also reportedly did NOT initially want to hire John Bolton because he didn't like his moustache.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Joe!  Does this explain why you used to be so conservative?

Is this some kind of joke?

no, it's bad science, a worse headline and a bunch of bottom feeders celebrating something they misunderstood.

You probably get mad at people for liking professional wrestling because "it's not real!!!!1"

quite the opposite in fact.  People that say wrestling is fake will get a reaction out of me.  Wrestling is usually staged, but it's not fake.  Pro wrestling, when it's done right, is one of the best forms of entertainment ever created.


(and the only people that "get me mad" are people not passing in the passing lane)

As if anyone needed confirmation of this.

My trigger point is drivers whose religion apparently forbids the use of turn signals.
