Liberals have lower testosterone levels.

**brad herschel** · 08-01-2011, 05:30 PM

Copied this from a site found googling, "do liberals have lower testosterone levels ". More material googling "testosterone level effect on political views".
Think Alan Alda, Woody Allen, etc,. don't think Charlie Sheen!

"I didn't say liberal men were "low" on testosterone.

I said that in general, conservative males likely have higher levels of testosterone than liberal males.

In the median range, all non-pathological in this range, conservatives in general likely score above the mid-line in the median and liberals below the mid-line in the median, but neither, by virtue of still being in the median, is "high" or "low" in testosterone, pathologically.

Thus, to say conservative males have higher levels of testosterone is not to say that liberal males are "low" on testosterone.

The same is true with regard to the inverse relationship of estrogen levels in conservative and liberal males -- all within the median norm.

No insult here.

Just a probable explanation in behavioral differences.

Nevertheless, I can understand where a man would react as you have. Even if our evolution is destined to androgeny, as some have predicted, so-called "progressive" men today may feel offended by the testosterone comparison, even if it means they may be more evolved.

Women, probably don't feel as threatened by the presentation."

Your example alone is enough evidence one way or the other. A large scale test, and how would it be constructed, would be wonderful. I will continue to research and will post
any thing of interest.

still true

**ramacher** · 08-01-2011, 09:07 PM

liberals make me sick!

**crazy_rocks** · 08-01-2011, 09:39 PM

there are studies out there like this like conservatives live longer happier lives than liberals. not trying to offend anyone or saying that its true, just stating that are are studies. however i have not heard of this one yet. so its not saying that liberals are low on test but just not as high as conservatives hhmmm.

so is this a result of being what we are or does it help result in what we are?

**Times Roman** · 08-01-2011, 09:59 PM

yeah, and I was reading on the internet yesterday that people's who's names have initials that mean something like W.O.W. live longer. the article continued by saying if you change your name to have initials that mean something, you will live longer. it also stated people live shorter lives if thier initials meant something negaitve, like D.E.D.

now seriously folks... how much thought you really want to put into this happy horseshit?

lol!!

well IF its true and i say IF, its probably is not about believing this or that causing one to have higher or lower levels. it would be more about certain types of stress associated with maybe..the pursuit of certain things causing a little higher or a littler lower levels.

i think that would be a more scientific approach to explaining this -IF- its true rather than saying that a group of people with a specific belief are damned because they are wrong.

most hispanics are democrat/liberal

does that mean hispanics have lower test levels?

it's all BS

**brad herschel** · 08-02-2011, 05:25 AM

Mestizoes and Blacks vote for Democrats out of habit and ignorance. T not a factor.

Obama voters:

Black 94%

Hispanic 75%

Jews 77%

I do anticipate that Obama will not get that high a Jewish vote percentage if he
runs again.
