Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views

Men who are physically strong are more likely to take a right wing political stance, while weaker men are inclined to support the welfare state, according to a new study.

Researchers discovered political motivations may have evolutionary links to physical strength.

Men's upper-body strength predicts their political opinions on economic redistribution, according to the research.

The principal investigators - psychological scientists Michael Bang Petersen, of Aarhus University in Denmark, and Daniel Sznycer, of the University of California in the U.S., believe that the link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in response to our early ancestral environments and continue to influence behaviour today.

The weakness that drives a liberal is definitely located in the upper area of their person but above the upper body and neck. The weakness is in the mind. Weak minded people want everything handed to them.

I think they have it completely backards. Conservative men work and move. liberals want someone else to move for them.

I reckon there were too many years of backing down to maria’s screeching.

Of course - because leftism is basically the equivalent of running to mommy, daddy or teacher because someone is doing something you don’t like or has something that you want.

This started when Congress decided that testosterone was a dangerous substance that needed to be controlled, like heroin.

I live on the very liberal Washington Coast and would agree with the premise judging from all the wimpy little men in floppy hats and berets who carry man purses or wear fanny packs. But I am still confused at the high percentage of tradesmen in unions who march lock step for socialism.

Liberalism is the result of Jr/Sr High School rejections, and the people still mentally stuck there.

Hence, Liberal males mock Sarah Palin (the attractive/popular girl who rejected their advances)...

... and Liberal females are bitterly jealous of her (the attractive/popular girl who got the guy they pined for).

I think it’s the other way around. I think that men with right wing views are physically strong because they are not afraid to get up in the morning and go to work. Lefties tend to just sit around and whine all day.

There are exceptions to this, of course:

“But I am still confused at the high percentage of tradesmen in unions who march lock step for socialism.”

I don’t think those tradesmen buy into the social aspects of the Liberal agenda — endless affirmative action, paying for prisoner’s sex changes, etc. They support the union and vote Democrat because it makes their wallet fatter.

why is it that there are no hunky conservative men pics posted on this thread?

That's your job. Real men do not post pictures of other men, just sayin.

How to guide:
1. Go to internet photo of choice, right click, select Properties, and copy the Internet link to the photo. 2. Open post on FR and type the following:
img src=xxxxxx
3. Replace the X's with the Internet address you copied.
4. Add html bracket "<" before "img" and ">" after the address.
5. Preview to make sure you did it right.

Why do you think many women prefer gay men as friends or desire to feminize straight males? Liberal males are generally weak in every aspect including mentally and emotionally.

To be physically strong requires hard work and discipline.

Liberals don’t have that.

"......he link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in response to our early ancestral environments and continue to influence behaviour today."

Bull, the main difference between these "men" is that some played outdoors, played sports that demanded winning and losing, rough and tumble activities out-of-doors away from mommies and especially far away from TV, video games, computers, cell phones, etc.

The difference between men and their manliness probably also went along with having daddies who were also "real men" in their homes or at least spent lots of time with "real men" or had moms that didn't want little Johnny standing at her side every minute of the day, just to make certain that he didn't get hurt.
