You have to control for socioeconomic status. Really, all this study demonstrates is that wealth/upper-middle-class people tend to be more attractive than poor/working class people, which we already know. |
FFS this thread is what’s wrong with discourse these days. People commenting did not even read the study, including, perhaps, the OP.
It has nothing to do with going to the gym, and they also controlled for SES. The authors specifically outline that 1. attractive people are given more in life/go through life more easily, from the early years 2. as a result they essentially think they have been successful due to them working harder than the ugly person next to them 3. they then think everyone should be able to pull themselves up by the bootstraps (sound familiar?) the way “they did” 4. therefore they don’t see the value of government aid and entitlements/“handouts” etc 5. as a result they tend to identify as conservative (ideology) and Republican (partisanship) It’s not a testament to conservatism. |
Mmmm, yes. Like the liberals are an attractive bunch themselves. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
It’s not always money, look at the beautiful Ivanaka compared to these pigs.

What the eff does being more diverse have to do with better skin and muscle tone? |
Olive and dark skin is much more appealing than pale, pasty skin. Variety is the spice of life. |

I've seen a thousand women on the streets of DC who look better than Ivanka. And most of them probably haven't even had plastic surgery. I wonder how many of them are conservatives? |
FTFY |
DP here. It's interesting you think this. I'm a woman. I used to (generally) vote for the Democratic candidate. Never, ever again. Liberals have made the Democratic party unrecognizable. And if you think conservatives have "disdain for women," clearly you haven't been reading the many liberal posts right here on DCUM which display an incredible disdain for women - if they're not liberal, of course. So bring it on at the polls. Maybe you'll win. But maybe not. I know who I *won't* be voting for. |
Well, let's see. Because they have all the money in the world for personal trainers, chefs, stylists, and makeup artists? Just a thought. |
