It is the article I linked citing what I suspect is the exact same study. With that said I seriously doubt the Mail would every say anything bad about conservatives.
On an ironic side note. Having lived in Britain, I find it immensely funny that self described masculine men are so quick to point to something they read in the Daily Mail.
Heck, I played golf and tennis in high school. That's where the girls were.
Male cheerleader? Coulda signed me up for that, too!
I'm sure you rocked at band camp or whatever...
I never played tennis, but I really enjoyed playing golf and still play it today. I also played baseball, basketball, and football, and football was definitely the sport were the girls were.
I find it to be a fascinating study. I'd like to see a study on math ability, literary/art ability, and political outlook. It has always been my pet theory that people who are good with numbers tend to be conservative, while people who are good with words and images tend to be liberal.
I'm about 5'7" 130 lbs, and conservative. It seems to me that pro athletes are more likely to be D than R.
Can't argue with those pics. But...I bet I could Google some embarrassing lib shots too.
You guys have taken enough of a beating in this thread, though, so I'll let it pass.
Wimps lol

I find that age and psychological make-up have more to do with determining whether someone is liberal or conservative. Those who rely more on emotion than reason tend to be liberal, and visa versa. I cannot see how physical stature can make any difference whatsoever in someone's political ideology.
People who tend to be good with words are simply well read. Like all skills, it only requires practice. The brain may not be a muscle, but it needs to be exercised as well.

Perhaps true. Conservatives are likely to be Myers Briggs S or T types (sensing, thinking). Organized and analytical, but closeminded.
Liberals are more likely to be N and P. Conceptually gifted and openminded.
Either is a strength or a weakness depending upon the situation. The only really stupid thing is to assume there is on "right" way to think. Analytical, social, numerical, and conceptual intelligences all have a place, and none of us excels at all of them.
Being able to bench press more than some other stiff amounts to not much. You might have great pecs, but at least some liberals seem to have it "going on" elsewhere.
Since we are plumbing the depths of foolishness on this thread, enjoy this bit of research:
