O asi lo asegura Michael Price de la universidad de Brunel en Londres
r Michael Price and colleagues assessed 171 men aged 18-40, collecting information on height, weight, waist size, flexed and relaxed muscle circumference, hand grip, and arm and chest strength.
They also surveyed participants on how often they go to the gym, their wealth, whether they support the redistribution of wealth, and whether they approve of the idea that some social groups should have dominance over others (‘social dominance orientation’).
As well as focusing on bodily signs of perceived dominance, the researchers also focused on facial appearance: they had groups of independent raters view participants’ faces and rate whether they saw the men as dominant and attractive. They also used software to analyse faces in terms of the masculinity of their shape.
The study showed that more muscular men were less egalitarian, and the number of hours actually spent in the gym was also linked to having less egalitarian socioeconomic beliefs.
Dr Price, Senior Lecturer in Psychology in the College of Health and Life Sciences at Brunel, explains: “We believe that this link between perceived formidability and egalitarianism could be explained in a number of ways. It could be the result of men calibrating their egalitarianism to their own formidability. It could be the case that less egalitarian men strive harder to become muscular. Or there could be a third variable at play affecting both egalitarianism and muscularity.

A nadie le deberia sorprender esto, una persona que conoce el precio del esfuerzo aplicado a su cuerpo, como no lo va a reconocer en la sociedad? Espero que estemos ante el nacimiento de una sociedad fit meritocratica capitalista, es lo unico que podria salvar al ser humano de la voragine de descuidos fisicos y mentales que vivimos
