It’s easy to win over most young women – just don’t be a MAGA supporter and watch the Barbie movie.
A fascinating survey has revealed the most common likes and dislikes among 18- to 34-year-old men and women in the United States
Change Research asked 1,033 Americans whether certain behaviors in a partner constituted a green, beige or red flag. Both genders agree on some points, such as the importance of having hobbies or the fact that people “bother” each other so much that they ask for details.
For 76 percent of women, supporting MAGA ideals — Make America Great Again, a moniker espoused by former President Donald Trump — was repugnant. At 64 percent, men were most reluctant to identify as communists.
A majority of men surveyed – 59 percent – also cited pro-Trump beliefs as a deterrent when looking for a partner.
It was a similarly left-wing story with gender identity. 54 percent of women said people who believe there are only two genders put them off. A sizable minority of men — 34 percent — felt the same way.
The Joe Rogan podcast was also controversial among women: 55 percent said they were not interested in a man listening to the extremely popular show. Just over a third of men surveyed felt the same way, even though the audience for Rogan’s show is overwhelmingly male.
Overall, there were stark differences in how men and women viewed their stances on astrology, Black Lives Matter, and owning a gun as attractive traits.
The biggest dislike among women (76 percent) is men identifying as MAGA Republicans — and 59 percent of men agree that this is a warning sign for women
