  • People like people like them. I'm not sure why that's so hard for you to believe.

  • Even if you could demonstrate that to be true, could you also demonstrate that people primarily relate to sexual characteristics, and that consuming news is somehow related to this likeability?

  • I don't know if there are any statistics for that particular case, but it all goes back to ingroup bias. See below.

    I don’t know about you, but I usually prefer people of the opposite gender ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • No, I'm stating something that has been widely accepted in the field of psychology.

  • I’m pretty sure that liking people like you refers to interests and personality, not what’s between your legs.

  • We are biologically predisposed to prefer individuals who we view as being similar to ourselves, and that includes superficial qualities. Also, where do you live that news anchors are naked from the waste down while on air?

    You obviously did not catch that what I meant by “what’s between their legs”. Can you send me some reliable sources to back your claims? I am genuinely curious.

  • I did catch it, I just think it's silly that you jump to genitals immediately, as if that's the only indication of gender. https://www.alleydog.com/glossary/definition.php?term=Ingroup+Bias https://www.explorepsychology.com/ingroup-bias/

  • It isn’t the only indication of course, but definitely the most obvious, that’s why I used it. I didn’t see anything in either of those articles that included gender into ingroup bias.

  • I think the point was to explain that it can apply to pretty much any characteristics, as long as it can be used to define "like me" and "not like me." I'm about to start driving, but after I get home I can look up more concrete proof if you want.

  • His reasoning is wrong, but yes women would be interested more if their was more women telling them what to think. To simplify it: Women are just as primitive as men. It's just their hierarchies work different. They are "risk averse" when answering questions to avoid embarrassing themselves in the hierarchy, and by extension taking a strong stance on things can lead to embarrassment.

  • What does that have to do with consuming news broadcasted by someone of the same sex?

  • They need a woman to tell them what to think so they feel comfortable holding a belief
