An alternate theory I would propose is that it's because we don't have blue or pink hair or edgy "style".

Attractive people get preferential treatment and move up in society. People up in society don't care about poor people. This study sounds correct, actually.

Edgy hair is cool, man.

That being said, I like f**king conservatives, it's a shame a lot of them don't like pre-martial sex or friends with benefits.

Liberals, on the other hand, are edgier and easier to offend, but much easier to talk about sex.

I would probably agree with the conclusion of this study, but considering "attractiveness" is largely, but not completely, subjective, it is still suspect.

I don't much like edgy hair colors like blue or pink but a truly attractive person won't be ruined by them.

Yeah, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so any study of what is "attractive" should be taken with a grain of salt.

Centrists are inherently smarter, better looking, and more sane than either.

This is not true because as soon as I find out someone is conservative, they become a lot less attractive.

The study looked at the attractiveness of politicians in US and Australia, both of which have strong rural/urban political divisions.   So it probably has to do with the nice healthy country air.

Its preferable not to becuase of the entire birth control thing. But you don't know how someone votes until after. Politics is like what? A fourth or fifth date conversation?

Nah I usually talk about politics within a week or so.

I should point out I'm dating someone and we're in an open relationship. Said person shares much of my cancer political views

Never really did that. It was discussed a few times a few of the times though. Its kind of hard if not impossible to date a Republican....I did take one home and then we agreed on a date  after and it didn't go so well when we saw who we really were. There was also another time I dated a Republican for two weeks but I was desperate.

I know that for year. Just look at leftist (female) politicians and compare these scarecrows to conservative politicians and it's getting absoluetly clear why jealous women are voting left :-D
