New Study Explains Why Listening To Joe Rogan Podcast Is Such a Turn-off for Women

A recent Change Research study reveals that 55% of women consider a potential partner’s habit of listening to The Joe Rogan Experience podcast to be a red flag, reflecting a broader trend of political polarization affecting romantic compatibility. Research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology indicates that political alignment is a strong predictor of romantic compatibility, with only 7.7% of couples consisting of a Democrat dating a Republican. The study found that men are more likely to listen to right-leaning podcasts, while women prefer content like This American Life and The New York Times’ The Daily, signaling values and attitudes that may be incompatible with their vision of a healthy relationship.
