Genetics deviate from the norm all the time, or two recessive genes that are fine on their own are catastrophic when matched together. Also my ancestors lived mostly during periods where the median age was 21 and almost nobody lived past 25 which is when my hair started thinning.

I don’t think genes are the only thing that matter, but they do matter. I don’t want to just date any beautiful woman, but I do want to date a beautiful woman. Well... now I’m sort of getting used to the idea of being single and just focusing on financial security and my hobbies, but when I was looking looks did matter to me. I think that’s normal and nothing to be ashamed of (also like 80% of women are pretty enough to get to know in my opinion).

Literally this whole post is about looks mattering, balding (and weight) being a factor in making a man uglier, that uglier men have to go for uglier women; and everyone agreeing with that while finishing with “but you never know”

I think it’s better to just not have a family unless I think I can give that family a happy and good life. It’s not about breeding.

I was sort of good looking once, and being ugly sucks. Why would I want my kid to go through that?
