Lets talk about these crazy organisms we call Women.

I'm starting to think that the trolls are @Jason alts just trying to stir up activity on the site to improve ad revenue.

WTF is the point of this necro bump?

I won't actually know if there is an answer because I don't read (and even if I do I do not directly respond to) AIO posts.

WTF is the point of this necro bump?

I put it in this old thread because I felt this was the best place for it. The research above was recent, and of European women but the phenomenon isn't new or confined to Europe. Here is an older article from Jezabel, an outlet with a notably anti-GOP bias, and they too were pointing out how conservative women were more attractive. The Jezabel author pointed to a study out of UCLA that backed up the general idea that on-average, smoking hot girls are more likely to be conservative.

Hot or Not: Why Conservative Women Are 'Prettier' Than Liberal Ladies

Today in pretty pretty princess news: A new survey out of UCLA found that female politicians with "stereotypical feminine facial features" are more likely to be Republicans than women with gender-ambiguous or masculine facial features. The more gender-atypical the woman, in fact, the more likely...

@Red has gone on for years about his search to find some genetic marker to explain why some are conservative while others are liberal, and this may actually back that idea up. The most plausible hypothesis I've read hold that our society is kinder to pretty people. The concept is called "pretty privilege". The thinking was that pretty people like the way the world treats them and so want to conserve that while the more unfortunate looking ladies aren't as happy with their lot and so want to change things.

Women have advanced in nearly every area with one glaring exception: On average they aren't as pretty as they used to be.

...And has they have become more unfortunate looking, they have been getting less happy and more associated with the political left.

When are we going to discuss how unattractive the majority of men are? Seems both parties are well represented.

You don't understand. Women are supposed to be pretty to please men, because pleasing men is important. It does not matter if a man's figure pleases a woman.

I feel like I need a shower after posting in this thread.

Eh, you probably just need a shower in general. Face it, men are just filthy. We always need a shower.

My wife and I were discussing this recently actually. There is a weird dichotomy we have noticed in general, and of course being entirely anecdotal it is completely and fully scientifically sound. We talked about how often we notice an attractive man with an unattractive woman and vice versa. It seems like opposites really do attract. We counted at a Sam's Club and later at a Target and came up with easily 2/3 are mis-matched in terms of attractiveness and only maybe a third were basically equal. Hell in my own relationship she is the attractive one and I am the fat ugly bald guy. Weird, right? I guess when you get 2 attractive people together they tend to capitalize on that and become famous or something.

I do understand, all too well. If one more man tells me to smile...

Sorry I made you post. I tried to resist myself because this is icky.

This is undoubtedly true

Google (or probably don't) incels.

There is a very large movement amongst the younger male generations that feels wronged because they have limited opportunities with women.

Yes women feel a lot of pressure to look attractive. Men generally just feel like they either are or are not attractive and that it is what it is. I mean the number one thing a man can do to be attractive is to be tall, so if you're under 6' as a man you might as well just kill yourself because women don't have time for your unattractively short ***.

Most people meet via dating sites now. A small percentage of men get an overwhelming amount of the attention from the women on the sites and a large majority of men get absolutely no responses from women at all.

Plenty of less attractive people manage to get married, so it's not an impossible system. But it is hard to judge someone initially by anything other than appearance.

I do feel sad for men and women who are unable to get their carnal desires met, but no one is owed sex.
