Then suddenly you don't,
Well, some of the things you guys have been talking about reminds me of this discussion I had with an editor at a magazine.
And he told me that the magazine had just run this article about a woman who left her husband to start an OnlyFans and how she was happy with her decision.
to end her marriage and start an OnlyFans.
And I asked this magazine editor, would you run the reverse story of a woman who had an OnlyFans and then abandoned that, got married and was happy with her decision?
And he said, we would never run that story.
And when I heard that, it was just confirmation to me that there is kind of a narrative behind a lot of media organizations where- That's the propaganda.
yeah, that there are certain stories that are acceptable, certain ways of living that are exalted and others that are denigrated.
And yeah, this is sort of going out of our way to make people, you know, favor something that could be potentially destructive versus these other ways of living that are more stable, harmonious, stood the test of time.
And yeah, we need to think more about that and maybe get back to it.
Chloe?
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? And I know you've spoken with plenty of people about this idea of assortative mating. We tend to be attracted to people who are somewhat similar to ourselves.
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.
But I think there's, you know, to the extent that it might be true, you know, if you think about what are the qualities that women find attractive in men, sort of self-sufficiency, ambition, income, you know, all the kinds of qualities that are associated with sort of a masculine guy.
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. So if you look at self-identified, Uh, if you ask men, you know, how, how masculine do you feel versus how feminine do you feel?
The higher men rate themselves as masculine, the more likely they are to support a conservative political candidate, uh, and the more, uh, or the less masculine they feel, the more likely they are to support a left-wing candidate. And then, um, And you can ask other questions about income.
There was a really funny study a few years ago in the UK about height, that there's a sort of a small but significant correlation between height and voting for conservative political parties. I don't know if that would hold up today. This was like 2016, 2017, that period. But...
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. They also tend to like things like low taxes and they tend to like things like a strong military, police, all those kinds of things kind of cluster together.
And so it would make sense, I think, that women, regardless of political orientation, even if they explicitly when you ask them about politics, they're going to say, I don't like this or that party. But then they start to list out the qualities that they enjoy. You know, those just tend to cluster more on the right side of the political spectrum.
Yeah, well, I mean, that I think that makes sense in general. You know, I saw this tweet going around the other day, got a lot of attention. It was something like, you know, I want I want a boyfriend who who looks like a Republican, but isn't one something like that.
