Im calling bullshit.

Did they account for known overall psychological differences between right-wing and left-wing individuals, and whether right-wing herd mentality was causing right-wing individuals to increase the rating of attractiveness that they were giving their right-wing politicians?

Having a job generally makes you more attractive
Now, now... some of them work almost 30 grueling hours a week! :D

Yea these young people have no idea what is awaiting them. There is a reason that the rich and powerful trade in their wives when they get older than 30...

they're shallow?

Yes. But is deeper than that. Men are designed by nature to be most physically attracted to women of prime breeding age (18-30). It is an evolutionary trait that ensured that the women most able to procreate also attracted the most sexual interest from the largest pool of men.

Additionally in our ancient human past, only the alpha males got females. This means that all humans on earth are the descendants of alpha males.

It is interesting to note that we have broken the evolutionary cycle and now even gamma males can get females. I wonder how that works within the context of evolution since no genes are being selected against anymore.

also as our intellectual capabilities have increased the definition of 'alpha male' has also broadened. The 'alpha' does not have to be the one that can take down a bear and feed the family literally, but the one who can provide a stable home and safe surroundings.

Yet they still have a better job than you do don't they? That must suck. You've spent $0 on a degree and are stuck in mom's basement reposting memes on the internet.

You're winning!

Heh... perhaps you were hoping for a better rebuttal that would result in me doxxing myself? Sorry to disappoint, sweetums.

Bonobos share the most DNA with us and their sexual behavior is hardly in line with the common belief about primate sexuality.

They practice casual free sex, including casual parent/child incest. It is hetero, homo, intergenerational, frequent, and often public. It is used, instead of violence, to reduce tension and deal with conflict.

They're also intensely protective of others in their society, even to the point of attacking someone disturbing the dead body.

So, yeah, hardly the idealized concept of primate behavior people like cite to support things like capitalism, patriarchy, and the sexual repressiveness that go with both.

Kind of helps the bonobos effectively live in Paradise. Amply food, ample trees to live in and nearly no predators.

Or there is just nothing more to share than pics from the internet. Occam's razor applies here.

Yes, it helped. It also shows that the argument that we need to behave like chimps because of our primate roots is bogus because chimps have less DNA in common.
