Are conservatives generally better-looking than liberals are?

Attraction is definitely based on bias.
In Russia, what resembles more of the Western “left” side is usually more working class - with being working class usually comes a less polished, more natural, appearance.

Some of the western Left is more eccentric, dyed hair and piercings and tattoos, and for some people that would make someone ugly. The western Right is usually trying to fit a status quo more.

Also, what I’ve noticed, the Right is far more strict and uptight about appearance - and they value appearance a lot more. I think a lot of American right-wing women look high maintenance and uptight, the women are hyper feminine and the men are hyper masculine.

If you base attraction on conventional beauty and effort going into polished appearance - the Right will look better. Honestly I think they all look the same.

Seriously? Who the fuck funded this study?!

I am struggling to think of a bigger waste of resources.

Strange post. Surely there can be no real answer.

No one in Australia is going to call any of our pollies, on either side, attractive.

Conservatives work out and liberals rely on body positivity to justify their obscene fatness and general lack of personal hygiene

Two thoughts:

1.From what you wrote, it sounds like the study was specifically about the attractiveness of the politicians on each side, correct? I don’t think the attractiveness of politicians is an accurate reflection of the attractiveness of the general population that have their political views. At all.

2.I actually just read a study that people with health problems like diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, etc voted for Trump so much that it was actually a better predictor than even race or education. I thought it was interesting that this popped up on my Twitter feed the same day as this question.

Well I don't know about being better looking, but conservatives are not a bunch of obnoxious limp dicks and assholes. That's for sure.

I think most politicians look relatively the same. The civilian supporters, definitely the right-wing is chock full of the fattest, nastiest slobs that exist. I live in a very conservative state and I grew up in a conservative area of a liberal state, and I have traveled the US a lot, and unequivocally the conservatives are the most affected by obesity, slovinliness, rotting teeth, complete ignorance of hygiene, etc.

Libs have movie stars and models but they also got the morbidly obese with bright green hair screaming at the sky.

Women from the Southern states are by far better looking than their North Eastern counterparts. The Midwest and far west are a mixed bag

This is what happens When conservatives can't rely on policy to push their agenda. Instead they rely on looks in order to maintain the status quo. Besides, people shouldn't vote on people based on looks, people need to vote on policy.

Yes. It's true. The effect isn't as pronounced as the fact that liberals are more intelligent on average, but studies have shown a slight edge in favor of conservatives on this matter.

It's well-known that having had an easier life increases the odds of becoming a conservative and the thinking is that being better looking sufficiently caters to having a better life so as to produce a tangible disparity here, albeit it incredibly slight.

Got to say though, taking one look at a Trump rally makes it rather hard to buy, but then they're a different breed altogether. A lot them I'd give like a D a best, maybe a D minus even.

I havent noticed it with politicians very much but I have noticed far left civilian men are definitely on average less attractive than conservative men. So many of them have beta male voices and look like mouth breathers. If you look at the antifa protests all the men are skinny as hell and all the women are fat and the women bark the orders. They look so fragile. Then abunch of corn fed proud boys show up and argue with them but its funny if you just look at the difference in physiques its really funny. Im not making it up search proudboys vs antifa and tell me they arent totally built different

Supposedly. Each side has their claim with this. Liberals have declared science has said they're more intelligent and conservatives have said something along the lines of general strength and upper body strength are an indicator of conservative ideology. The idea is that the weaker man can relate more on an empathetic level to the plights of the world and thus go liberal. And on the flip side you get a lot of troglodytes at consrervative meet ups. I'm not sure though. I can see both of them being true and none of them being true.

Seems very unlikely.

I can't believe it that we're still asking this question. What is it, 2016?

Not all conservatives are beautiful. Like, have you seen how ugly some conservatives can be? And there are actually more fat unattractive old people in the MAGA cult than young attractive folk.
And not all liberals are some ugly unkempt people who think that ugliness is just a social construct and that don't care about what they look like. There are many liberals that do not support obesity at all and that take care of their skin and eat healthy etc.

Cons be advertising stupid things like "Conservative women are prettier than liberal women", but in reality, many conservative women can rather be some old, unattractive and obese karens instead of those supposed "sexy conservative Barbie babes", and many liberals can rather be young, attractive and healthy sized "health nuts" instead of those supposed "fat ugly body positivity activists".

Judging from the people that I happen to know personally, yes it's true, people on the right are better-looking. The women are more traditionally feminine and the men are more traditionally masculine. Those are traits that I find attractive.

Pretty sure a study was done that showed right leaning people were more likely to be in-shape too. I don't know what it is about left wing people but the further left you go the grosser they choose to be.
