Attractiveness trends to the right..

[Datlofff]

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 mean a sub that wants to get some of that citadel?

[Datlofff]

Been told I'm pretty good looking, but my clinical depression keeps me from having a positive opinion of myself. I am a authoritarian centrist btw, atleast by US standards.

[Kenmoria]

This kind of stands to reason, but I do believe its a bit of an over-generalization.

All things that show statistical trends are generalisation, but that does not stop them from having a valid point. Personally, this article does make quite a lot of sense to me, however, I can't se it being anything more than a weak correlation.

[Shikihara]

I could see this being the case. I suspect there is a limit, however.

It's a bit of a cliche, I know, but the modern far-right isn't exactly made up of Aryan supermen.

Nonsense. The modern far-right is blonde like Hitler, slim like Goering, and tall like Goebbels.

[Ostroeuropa]

I'm having visions of far-right chat up lines as icebreakers being a cringeworthy meme in the near future.

Hey sexy, wanna deport some minorities?

etc. Instant erection/sploosh

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

Physical attractiveness is an important social factor that affects our daily interactions. While scholars in social psychology provide evidence that attractiveness stereotypes and the ‘halo effect’ are prominent in affecting the traits we attribute to others, the interest in attractiveness has not directly filtered to questions of political behavior beyond candidates and elites.
Utilizing measures of attractiveness across multiple surveys, we examine the relationship between attractiveness and political beliefs.
Controlling for socioeconomic status, we find that more attractive individuals are more likely to report higher levels of political efficacy, identify as conservative, and identify as Republican.
These findings suggest an additional mechanism for political socialization that holds further implications for understanding how the body intertwines with the social nature of politics

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

In the ANES, our measure of attractiveness is taken from an interviewers’ single, subjective rating following the completion of the interview. Similarly to the traditional ANES interviewer assessments, these were made on a five-point scale. In this case, interviewers were
asked to rate the respondent on a scale from 1 (homely) to 5 (strikingly handsome or beautiful).9
In addition, to serve as a replication and extension, we supplement this measure with a more detailed item collected in the WLS, which consists of normed ratings from 12 evaluators (6 men and 6 women), collected entirely distinctly from the interview process. Rather than a
measure taken by a single interviewer, attractiveness ratings were collected separately by a series of coders. Respondents’ high school yearbook photos from 1957 were collected and rated by twelve individuals (six men and six women), with the subsequent scores being normed to remove coder effects.10
This exogenous, more robust measure of appearance safeguards the validity concerns of the ANES measure, and the longer duration of the time series gives us greater leverage on the socializing effects of appearance on political behavior. Together, we believe these distinct assessments of appearance will provide us with a valid picture of how physical attractiveness influences adult political beliefs.

Unfortunately I don’t, for I am uneducated in the mating habits of ships.

I'm shocked that this is the first time I'm seeing young Stalin in this thread.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! PG-13! THIS IS A CHRISTIAN SERVER!

(Sexual innuendos are fine I guess, but not full-on mentioning that shit)

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

Just for everyone to see reality-

There’s plenty of left-wing beauties. Let’s take Jennifer Lawrence, as an example. She’s got the body and face of an angel, and in my opinion, the mind of a slug.

Well, it’s just Hollywood, but Hollywood has too much goddamn power.

I think as long as he avoids full out erotica he should be fine.

[United Muscovite Nations]

No idea whether I'm ugly or handsome, but would say that I'm a right winger who likes Left Wing economics.

Yeah, I forgot about young stalin

I was just kinda joking around, but now my statement is true.

[The Rich Port]

Ann Coulter is a right-wing.

I rest my case.



Well, this is either Ann Coulter or the wax statue of her partially melted.

[Olthar]

This is bullshit! I'm left wing, am I'm not ugly!

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

Well, a better example is Lauren Southern.

[Topoliani]

She's an older woman.

Was probably much better looking in her younger years.

Sorry, MERIZoC, Sovaal beat you to it.

[Liriena]

Mark Ruffalo is far better looking than Adam Sandler, and I'd date Susan Sarandon over Ann Coulter any day of the week. Just sayin'.

[Liriena]

Well, a better example is Lauren Southern.

Contrapoints is better looking. And uses better lighting.
