@WandererUber I'd love to see what their definition of "hostility" is, its probably "doesn't fall for shit"
@sickburnbro @WandererUber And their idea of very unattractive is "has hobbies" and "cares about anything"
@MeBigbrain @sickburnbro I don't think it's very feasible to categorize men by having women do speed dating events without seeing them or hearing their voice every time they want to do a study, big guy.
Showing them a picture and giving the 10 point scale is far more likely, little fella

@WandererUber @MeBigbrain @sickburnbro They get descriptions of them, too, including hobby lists and accomplishments. It's one of the reasons we know that even profound and overwhelming extreme accomplishments and incredible jobs of high status isn't enough to compensate for a an being short.

@ShovelTrouble @MeBigbrain @sickburnbro pulled shit out of your ass award
@WandererUber @ShovelTrouble @MeBigbrain this is the kind of shit that gets PhDs in sociology in 2026 ( not that it was substantially less retarded in 1976 )
@sickburnbro oh yeah, I guess THEY pulled it out of their ass too...
Not really all that substantial, but to be fair the researchers are not the ones claiming it's actual attractiveness, they stick to "self-perception".
I haven't looked into the research on how accurate that self-assessment of attractiveness is for men. Could be like that meme of rating the other gender, where men rate on a perfect bell curve and women's is a pareto where basically no one is a 9.

@WandererUber it's a stupid and pointless article, because all it proves is that people that want to be publicly perceived as liberal are smart enough to know that means they should be feminist.

@sickburnbro how does this explain the correlation between the attractiveness rating and the misogynist attitudes?
@WandererUber I haven't looked at the data, but I'd guess that men that are right wing end up either thinking they are very attractive or total incels.
@sickburnbro I think someone should fund a study to prove this interesting theory
