Yeah, you know, I wonder about these sort of media trends, these headlines, because often the reason why they get so much interest is because they're sort of at odds with our intuitions, right?

So then when you have this splashy headline, you know, right wing men want the left wing art ho, the left wing art hoes want the Republican MAGA bro or something. You know, it's a little edgy. It's a little catches us off guard.

And then you look at sort of the voting patterns of men and you find that the predictors of voting for the conservative parties also tend to be the traits that women tend to find attractive.

And then there's interesting work around attitudes around social dominance orientation and men who are sort of sure of themselves, confident, go out into the world, achieve something.
