    I see where i got it wrong.

    You're obviously not an X'r, but a nose in your cell phoner.

    Sorry for offending you. My apologies.

    No disrespect intended.

    (But you're not impressing anyone with your hollow claims to health. Y'all's health advantage is strictly a function of y'all's youth).

    I doubt there’s a partisan gap in attractiveness once we account for sex, age, race, ethnicity, and styles.

    Women tend to be more liberal than men. Women of color and younger women tend to be more liberal than White women and women who are middle aged and higher.

    With respect to body adornments, for example, I personally do not prefer lots of tattoos on women. But I don’t think having tats is a partisan thing. I live in conservative NW Florida and lots of people have multiple tattoos. They are everywhere. Of course, no one cares what I think and they shouldn’t.

    It almost seems like it’s gotten to the point where the tattooed are the conformists. And some clearly don’t seem to know when to stop.

    In the South, results vary depending on what trailer park you live in.

    I’m in my late 50’s. Spent my life doing adventure exercise, routinely placing top 5-10 in national and a few international sailing and windsurfing regattas, crossed the Atlantic. Delivered by dad’s boat from Boston to Lauderdale at the age of 17. ran track, done scads of triathlons, Did the Ironman. Climbed Kilimanjaro and several 14k’r in Colorado.
    I’m a pretty good judge of fitness. Gen Z is more into it than when I was coming out of Gainesville in 85’

    I see. I wouldn't know; I'll have to defer to your expertise in trailer park living.

    OK this is one of those complex issues I can't give you in one easily digestible link - but if you're curious you should go read around about it.
    1. As we have progressed, subsequent generations have had more problems with obesity. Millennials are the most obese generation in history I read recently. Currently 2/3 adults are overweight and 1/3 are obese. Those stats are lower in Gen Z college students. 1/5 overweight, 1/10 obese - or at least last I saw.
    2. Part of that is because Gen Z is growing up in an obesity epidemic in the West anyways. So they become very health obsessed. Ironically, this does not make them the most active, but there are several sources out there that talk about how much time they spend worrying about diet, and going to exercise establishments.
    3. The problem though is that obesity is such a complex issue - and it is tied into so many different variables.

    Does all that make sense? It took me long enough just to try to break that down for you, I won't do the legwork on the links. Trust me, don't trust me, whatever - go do the reading yourself. You can check the stats easily enough.

    Based on current trends, Gen Z will eventually be the most obese generation. Especially if this supposed heightened attention to health involves chronic dieting and medication.
