Attractiveness trends to the right..

He totally wasn't, he was a poster boy for the 'disturbed child' look.

Boy most likely to conduct mass genocide in school yearbook vote.

By young Stalin I think they mean grown up young Stalin.

Baby Stalin just looks like baby Hitler. Like, actually, he really does.

Lenin re Stalin - 1905..

'Watch that one, he's a shifty eyed looking mutherfucka'

True story.

[Repets]

I believe that attractiveness is very important whether you are left or right winged.

Nonsense.

Nicolaj Coster-Waldau is very liberal and progressive. So is most of the rest of the GOT cast.

So there is no way this holds up.

Game of Thrones should be banned.

The books are good tho

It might just be because I don't find non-androgynous men attractive, but I'm not impressed.

Ah, a fellow connoisseur of male androgyny, I see. ;3

You can't say that hair isn't fabulous though.

[Galloism]

Being attractive does change the way people interact with you, but it's not always a plus. It's annoying when you're not looking for a man, but you keep meeting guys that want to get in your pants. Not that ships wear pants, but you get my drift.

You really need to stop drifting. That’s not healthy for ships as a general rule.

I think it is fair to say that a sizable majority of actors are liberal.

James Woods in conservative, but he is not attractive.

So that should affect the balance of this scientific survey, I should think.


Toronto's mayor Rob Ford was hugely fat with bulbous eyes; he was conservative. Canada's current MP Trudeau is good looking. He is liberal.

All in all, I would rather judge people on their records, and not their album covers.

[Bla Dood]

Which is worse, homely conservatives using this study to think they're attractive or insecure liberals whining to you about how many hot liberals there are which, like, totally disapproves this study?

I think it's more questioning the study's veracity.

There are definitely better ways, though; I think the commentary is more tongue in cheek on both sides. (At least here)

Leaning to the Left, and well... let's just say average. My face is long, I am in an underweight category (dangerously close to severely underweight), and I am around 1,7 m tall (kind of short for US/European standards, but Asian, being an Asian, it's slightly above average).

But hey, I like to brag that I am too damn cheerful and happy (not all the time, mind you).

[Alvecia]

The study and abstract for those curious. Nothing pisses me off more than not linking the study in the article about the study.

Ah, good! Somebody else read the actual paper too!

And if anyone is curious how they determined how attractive someone is:

Unspoiled, paragraphed, and emphasized.

So, for their first "proof", they used an entirely subjective measure of attractiveness from one person, written down after the interviewer asked about the person's politics. Uh-huh. The "results" of that part may show nothing more than that the interviewer had a right-leaning bias. The experimental design is so poor as to render this part meaningless. (Also, that's "data" from the 1970s. Maybe things have changed in fourty years?)

The second "proof" is just as bad. While the method is better, it's a survey of people born just before WW2 -- as the authors note, they were 62 to 73 years old when interviewed -- which isn't a generation known for lots of tolerance for people who looked or acted differently. Also, they find that attractiveness predicts party identification (Republican or Democratic brands) much more strongly than ideology (extreme liberal to extreme conservative), and neither is as strong an effect as eduction or income.

Maybe rather than trying to cherry-pick historical data, the authors could run some surveys of more typical people these days?

I mean, straight off the bat, they could have controlled for some interviewer bias by getting them to rate attractiveness before the interview, at the very least

The late stalin yes, the young one was a hunka hunka burning love.

He totally wasn't, he was a poster boy for the 'disturbed child' look.

Dude, you and I both know chicks dig a bad boy.

Look at that facial hair, those smoldring eyes.

Compared to that most men are husband #2 material.

Again, trueadeau looks like a stoned judge rheinhold.

And Clint Eastwood is a right winger and he was pretty good looking.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

All jokes and fun aside, this kinda story depresses me.

I know it's not meant to be read as an personal attack on me but my fucked up brain read it that way.

I think I might be dead inside.

thats pretty silly, i am fairly sure the folks doing this study realize this is not as important or as rigorous as drug safety and effacacy

I know that. Actually, on sleeping on it a bit more I kinda regret that post.

Back to sillyness,
