Liberals are less attractive than Conservatives

So the NIH study is no good? How about the other part of my question? Have you experienced this yourself? The podcast I listened to said that if you looked at the democratic convention, vs the republican convention you would notice it right away. Big ugly women and short portly men for the dems, The republicans have beautiful women and more taller and fit men. They also stated ...[text shortened]... conservatives. When I personally look at these statements I see them as true. My question is why???

Conservative women may put more of their self-worth in how attractive they are than liberals. The more feminist a woman is the less she may be concerned social expectations of beauty.

But then again it can swing the other way. Liberal women are usually more sexually free and more open to being sexy than more traditional conservative women. Liberals tend to have less ha ...[text shortened]... their sexiness. Marilyn Monroe was the exact opposite of "conservative", especially for the 1950s.

The only real difference between attractive and unattractive people tends to be level of wealth vs levels of poverty.

Conservative women tend to be more concerned with traditional notions of femininity than modern-day liberals.

At the same time liberal women tend to be more open to being sexually appealing than conservatives.

Marilyn Monroe's look would be much more on the liberal side than conservative.

Conservative men who cheat on their wives are likely to go for a more exciting liberal than another conservative woman.

Conservatives tend to do the following:
- look after their health
- have traditional values pertaining to family life
- have a college or further education
- believe in God
- believe in hard work and capitalism

There are many more.

Liberals ... the opposite

Apart from genes which we can assume to be equal in both cases ..
Health, happiness, stability in relationships = good looks

I've spend the majority of my life as a Christian before leaving the faith. I've been to multicultural churches, predominantly white churches, predominantly black churches, and Hispanic churches.

I haven't noticed any difference between religious conservatives and non-religious women. It's not like when I step in a church I'm suddenly surrounded by Miss Americas.

I never mentioned religion in this. It was a topic I heard on a pod cast. I could probably find more compelling articles but you would find fault with those also. A sexy women and an attractive women isn't much different to me. I contend that it's true, todays liberal women and men are much less attractive than their conservative counter parts. You can disagree, that's what a debate forum is for.

In other words they are badly brought up [coming from broken homes and poor parenting] and lack social skills.

I heard this on a podcast and found it an interesting topic. My question is why is this true and have you noticed this personally?
