Liberals seem to be increasingly upset that conservative women are skinny and pretty, but there’s an obvious reason behind the growing “phenomenon” – conservative women are happier.
Study after study proves that the female appearance is directly affected by the level of stress and angst someone feels. Hair loss, wrinkles, and weight gain can all be connected to stress. Chronic stress can impair insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure, which is compounded by the reality that it increases cravings for sugary foods. Additionally, stress, anxiety, and depression affect your ability to get a good night’s sleep, which also exacerbates weight gain.
Unfortunately for liberal women, on average, they have higher rates of stress, anxiety, and depression in their daily lives, unlike conservative women, who are largely much happier and content with their lives.
A 2024 survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), analyzing 55,102 college students, found that 60% of female liberals reported poor mental health (frequent anxiety, depression, or stress) at least half the time. In comparison, only 41% of very conservative female students agreed.
Research consistently shows conservatives are happier than liberals. Roughly 50% of liberal women 18-29 have mental problems. Combine those and it never surprises me to see young liberal women with these kinds of takes. Miserable lives lead to bad takes https://t.co/CPFIKRqN1C

Liberal women are much more likely to be posting crying videos of what President Donald Trump or his administration are doing. Politics seems to affect them on a much larger scale than conservative women, who might be upset or disagree with the left but essentially choose to continue living their lives despite whatever political hardship they face.

I’ve never once seen a conservative woman claim she is never getting married or having children because former President Joe Biden opened the border to let millions of illegal immigrants into the U.S. Nor have I seen one cry into their phone camera in a restaurant parking lot because of some perceived “microaggression” due to the owner’s political ideology.
There’s something to be said about being informed enough to allow your political decision-making to be clear when you go into the ballot box, while also not letting that information control your emotional stability completely.
The discussion about the viral American Eagle ad featuring Sydney Sweeney is a perfect example of this. Unless a brand is actively hurting someone — like Target placing tucking underwear for toddlers in their stores, or BudLight using a man pretending to be a woman in their advertisement — conservative women aren’t going to make a big fuss. Meanwhile, a white pretty blonde is used to market jeans, and the left goes on completely unhinged rants, calling it racist and Nazi propaganda.
Here’s another Democrat losing her mind over Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad—calling it an ad for eugenics and claiming Sweeney looks like she “walked straight off a Nazi propaganda poster.”

Female conservatives are typically looking for a traditional life that often leads the woman to happiness, like marriage, children, and so on. While liberal women believe the path to true happiness is in the boardroom or on an extended vacation, where they live out of a van in a National Park somewhere.

But the result is yet another car video of them crying about their real loneliness and lack of life progression.
Being conservative isn’t a fix-all for all of life’s problems. However, it does give you a better shot at not being stressed, depressed, and anxious, which leads to the inevitable: having your ugly inside materialize on your outward appearance. And maybe, this is why liberal women are so angry with the uptick in pretty women being conservative.
