Neue Studie deutet darauf hin, dass die politischen Ansichten einer Frau mit Qualitäten verbunden sind, die sie im romantischen Partner sucht. Rechtspflichtige Frauen bevorzugen Partner, die traditioneller geeignet sind, während Frauen an beiden politischen Extremen jemandem einen hohen Wert auf jemanden legen, der ihre politischen Überzeugungen teilt.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:

**A new study suggests a woman’s political views are linked to the qualities she seeks in a romantic partner. The research found that right-leaning women often prefer partners who fit a more traditional mold, while women at both political extremes place a high value on finding someone who shares their political beliefs**. The findings were published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.

The analysis revealed several distinct patterns linking political views to partner preferences. When it came to shared political beliefs, the relationship was not a simple straight line. Instead, the researchers found that women at both the far-left and far-right ends of the political spectrum placed the highest importance on finding a politically similar partner. Women with more moderate, centrist views considered political alignment to be less important. This suggests that the more strongly a woman holds her political convictions, the more she desires a partner who shares them.

For ethnic and religious background, the connection was more direct. Women who identified as more right-leaning were more likely to state a preference for a partner of the same ethnicity and the same religion as themselves. This aligns with previous findings that connect conservative viewpoints with a higher valuation of in-group similarity and tradition.

The researchers also explored connections between political orientation and preferences for traits often associated with a traditional male provider role. The results showed that women with more right-leaning views tended to place a higher value on a partner being financially secure and successful. These findings are consistent with the idea that a more conservative political stance may be linked to a preference for partners who conform to a masculine, breadwinner stereotype.

A similar pattern appeared regarding a partner’s height. Right-leaning women reported that a man’s height was more important to them in general than it was for left-leaning women. However, when asked what their ideal partner’s height would be relative to their own, there was almost no difference across the political spectrum. Most women, regardless of their politics, preferred a partner who was taller than themselves. This indicates that while right-leaning women may consciously place more importance on the trait, the actual preference for a taller partner is widespread.

One trait that appeared to transcend political divides was kindness and supportiveness. The study found no meaningful link between a woman’s political orientation and her preference for a kind partner. This suggests that kindness is a universally desired quality in a long-term partner, irrespective of one’s political ideology. For other traits, such as a partner’s attractiveness, confidence, intelligence, and age, the results were less clear, and the researchers could not draw firm conclusions based on their strict criteria.

Makes sense. I mean, you’d ideally want to share the same values that matter yeah?

I’ll say the same thing I’ve been saying for a decade now: **politics ARE personal**.

Excuse me, my nan’s Little Red Book is a treasured family heirloom. There’s nothing objective about this use of ‚traditional‘.

If you have strongly-held political views and you start a relationship with someone who has the opposite views, you have your work cut out for you from the start. Every couple is going to have their differences on things and times they get frustrated with each other, but polarized political disagreement is just gasoline on the fire, there’s no way to resolve it. Not surprising that women simply prefer to not enter these relationships in the first place.

And left-leaning people have higher IQs-social liberalism is indicative of intelligence.

I mean yeah.  I am glad studies are proving that the weird distinction people try to make between politics and daily life is just not absolute and doesn’t translate well to real world scenarios 

What the study doesn’t show is how women’s mental health may be affected by adopting roles that place her within a patriarchal hierarchy, nor the detrimental affect that closed minded conservative thought control has on the overall progress a society can produce. Its fine if you just want a harem and slaves, but fails to produce actual culture

“new study suggests people like stuff they like.”
