It’s easy to convince most young women – just don’t support MAGA and see the movie Barbie.
A fascinating survey has revealed the most common attractions and reluctances among men and women aged 18 to 34 in the United States.
Research on change asked 1,033 Americans if certain behaviors are a green, beige, or red red flag in a partner. Both sexes are on the same page on certain qualities, like the importance of having hobbies or being “bothered” enough to ask for details.
For 76% of women, supporting the ideals of MAGA – Make America Great Again, a nickname championed by former President Donald Trump – was a turn-off. For men, at 64 percent, the biggest turn-off was identifying as a communist.
A majority of men surveyed — 59 percent — also cited their pro-Trump beliefs as a hindrance when looking for a partner.
It was an equally left-wing story with gender identity. Fifty-four percent of women said that people who believe there are only two genders turn them off. A significant minority of men – 34 percent – felt the same way.
The Joe Rogan Podcast has also been controversial among women, with 55% saying they would not be interested in a man listening to the hugely popular show. Just over a third of men surveyed feel the same way, even though the audience for Rogan’s show is primarily male.
Overall, there are marked differences in how men and women view positions on astrology, Black Lives Matter, and gun ownership as attractive qualities.
The biggest turn-off among women (76%) is when men identify as MAGA Republicans — and 59% of men agree that this is red flag behavior for women.
