Conservatives are more attractive than liberals, study finds

Hot people are more likely to support right-wing parties because they are stronger and more successful than their more liberal peers, apparently.

That's according to a study carried out by Rolfe Daus Peterson, a political scholar from Susquehanna University and Carl Palmar, assistant professor in politics at Illinois State University.

The researchers claim that never before has the effects of physical attractiveness on politics been examined on this level and that there is "good reason to believe that individuals’ physical attractiveness may alter their political values and worldviews".

They said that their findings prove attractive people tend to lean towards the right because they have better social skills and are more popular, competent and intelligent due to the "halo effect" - an idea that bias and stereotypes influence the way people judge others.

Writing about their findings in the Politics and Life Sciences journal published in December 2017, the pair said that on average, hotter people have an easier life so don't see the need for more welfare, aid and government support, unlike their left-wing counterparts.

How did the researchers come to this conclusion?

Using figures from two earlier surveys, the pair said they soothed concerns around the bias of attractiveness because obviously different people find different things attractive, right?

First, the scholars took figures from the 1972, 1974 and 1976 American National Studies surveys that asked those taking part to evaluate the appearance of others.

The survey also explored participants’ political beliefs, income, race, gender, and education. They then compared those results with the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS) that examined the characteristics of over 10,000 high school graduates who were rated by others on their level of attractiveness.

Bringing everything together, Peterson and Palmer argue a connection between an individual's physical attractiveness and political beliefs could be revealed.

They went on to argue that although what people view as attractive may vary, criteria for attractiveness appears to be consistent within cultural groups, pointing to earlier evidence of what beauty is and means.

Attractive people tend to be conservative because of a 'blind spot'

The scholars said hot people lean towards the right because they grow to develop a blind spot that leads them to not see the need for more government support or aid in society - a core liberal value.

They add that attractive people don’t face the same hurdles as others as their attractiveness gains them more attention and they are more successful in social situations. Their lives are generally “easier,” the pair claim.

They add:

Even though this blind spot may not be universally held and physically attractive individuals do not always have easier lives, on average, physically attractive individuals face fewer hurdles navigating the social world.

They conclude that because of this, they expect attractive people to be more likely to support right-wing conservative parties and point to another study that concluded that conservatives are more attractive.

Attractiveness cannot solve problems

Yes, Conservatives are more attractive. Case in point - me, compared to the old lib hags who are trying to pass themselves off as crones. Whole Foods is crawling with them.

"Useful to society" is the measure of a person's worth? Not in my book. "A good person" has value in life. A person who is kind and doesn't hurt others.

And "solving problems"? We're not here to solve problems. We're here to experience this physical world.

A person who can solve problems and is useful to society may be a mean, nasty horrible human being who makes life miserable for others, especially their family. That is not attractive or desirable.

Conservative women are more attractive than Liberal Women -

It's common knowledge for many years that Conservative women are more attractive and feminine than Liberal women -

Survey Says GOP Women Are Prettier

10.06.12

A UCLA survey found that Republican women ranked as more feminine, writes Allison Yarrow.

[www.thedailybeast.com]

"Women politicians with “stereotypical feminine facial features” are more often Republicans, found researchers at UCLA]. And the more feminine their features, the more conservative their voting records. They also found the reverse—that women with more masculine facial features tended to be Democrats. Less gender-typical visages tracked with more liberal voting records. The correlation between face and party ideology was stronger for Republican women politicians than Democrats."

Maybe maybe not, but looks are only skin deep.
Don't judge a book by its color.

Who affects the public more, conservative politicians or liberal beautiful Hollywood actresses and actors? Ann Coulter or Marilyn Monroe? Ron Paul or brad pitt?

Hollywood and the pop music industry has used beautiful people to sway the public to embrace liberal values. As I recently mentioned, Angelina jolie and brad pitt said they wouldn't marry until gay marriage was legal in the United States. That was in time with many beautiful pop stars and actresses coming out as bisexual (or pansexual a la Miley cyrus) which was in time with Obama supporting gay marriage. The public followed suit with approval. Almost every beautiful actress I see has had to either have a real life lesbian/bi experience or played one on screen. This is to make bisexuality politically correct.
Beauty is used to sway opinion.

It's not just women. Year's ago, dave chapelle left hollywood because of this kind of pressure. He didn't like how they make male comics wear dresses. He refused to do it.

I am helping a stage 3 cervical cancer case in a young woman, early 20s. She got it from HPV, an STD from a cheating boyfriend. Growing up, she came to be educated that polyamory, open relationships, bisexuality is the progressive, politically correct way. She said she was shamed by her peers for preferring monogamy, but the pressure was so intense to be open like everyone else. So then she got HPV and cancer. Now she has pulled herself out of the mud and feels so deceived by mainstream values. What she experienced is becoming the new norm.

Yes, it's a Culture War and the Liberals have won - thanks to Hollywood and technology. Cult of Celebrity.

"In American usage the term culture war may imply a conflict between those values considered traditionalist or conservative and those considered progressive or liberal. ... The perceived focus of the American culture war and its definition have taken various forms since then."
