Are the facial features and appearance linked to our genes?

[Artemis_The_Teenager]

Yep, only genes

No, the environment makes you look the way you look

Both environment and genes

Neither

[FalconPrime]

In the moment you were born everthing is determened by your genes, your looks, behaviour, development... later you can add environment into a equation, simply beacause some people had nice and supportive enviroment and others had rough and tough environment in which they must fight for themeselves and that is bringing emotional pain and stress so you would see them usually looking older or how to say... rough, like they were worn out , while people in nice and supportive environment didn't have that kind of problems in development so their skin is silk and they usually look "fresh" and young, because they didn't go through that stresses and problems, also
facial injury could affect your facial look if we take that as environment condition.

[FalconPrime]

Biggest example of my opinion is when people get back from war in which they had very rough time, you can see they changed not only physically, but mentally, you can search for term "psychosomatic"

[devilman666]

You can get scars and physical deformities from inuries, so environment can change appearance, but your overall look is mostly just genetics, you can dye your hair and wear contacts but your dna is the same. Then there is fitness level, which is something everyone has some degree of control over.

[Malita55]

Environment and genes. Its literally proven through science and plenty or research.

[Dark93]

Gene's make up everything about you, everything from the shape of your nose to medical conditions and the amount of body hair you have.
Some traits you inherit directly and they change very little or not at all, such as eye shape and eye color, however sometimes traits combine to create a hybrid gene, and then you have genetic drift where something causes a random trait to change or appear that is not shown in either parent. Genetic drift is the leading cause in evolution because it allows living creatures to adapt to an environment over many generations.

[Dingsbums]

Environment and genes. Stuff you do and eat can effect the way you look.
Things like haircolor. How big is your nose or dick etc are determined by genes

[Jon_25]

It's genes. That's why family members all look similar.

[Jaredluvsdogs]

I think people have too much time to wonder why they aren’t attractive as opposed to making themselves more attractive

[Deathraider]

Environment and genes. Don't believe me.
*pulls out a knife and lashes at your face*
YOU BELIEVE ME NOW? I'M SO F***ING HIGH!!!

[Artemis_The_Teenager]

Lol... just lol

[Johnnydempster2]

Drop the whole incel Chad thing man, it won't do you any favors

[Artemis_The_Teenager]

Huh?

[Johnnydempster2]

In the picture you chose

[Artemis_The_Teenager]

It was just kind of funny, lol.

[Anonymous]

It’s overwhelmingly your genetics but there are small epigentic factors that do matter. That diagram is absolute nonsensical trash though.

[Skinny_Guy]

LOL, you are so delusional. This diagram is 100% true.

[Opinion Owner]

100%? Really? Cause I mean usually your dad’s face and your face share a good bit of commonalities and every single one of theses so called incel faced men have a disgustingly long list of sexually successful ancestors. I mean on one hand we could posit that this massive group of incel men all just got shafted by genetics even though they all look vastly different from one another or maybe they come from a long line of lucky dudes, cucked, and rapists or maybe just maybe their genetics had nothing to do with it and they just have shit personalities. But no you’re right Big Jaw = lots pussy. That’s definitely the answer. That way no body has to question themselves and potentially threaten their fragile ego. Yep big jaw = lots pussy. don’t worry everyone one this 19 year olds got it all figured out.

[Skinny_Guy]

In the previous centuries ugly men got women because women had no resources and had to rely on men for survival. Nowadays they have access to resources and don't need men to survive. That's why we return to the prehistoric system when only the hot guys got to procreate.

[Opinion Owner]

@Skinny_Guy So what you’re implying is because society has made it increasingly easier for women to support themselves (an assumption that I could refute but for the sake of brevity won’t) that they now will trend towards exclusively seeking out men most likely to fall into hyper masculine roles (chad). Correct? Here’s the issue. Look at media created by women and for women versus media created by men. You’re comparing characters like He-Man to characters like Steven Universe. You may be right about your assumptions pertaining to women focusing more on hotness but your description of male hotness is not a women’s. What you’re describing is a male charicature of female desire. Look at it like a man looking through a fun house mirror at what women want. And I know what your next argument is “but I see it literally everywhere” but how much time have you actually spent looking at the success of those that don’t fit this mold of a man that makes you feel sexually inferior.

[Opinion Owner]

Saying all women are physically attracted to chads is like saying all men like big tits. It’s simply not true and fat to simple of a description of human sexuality.

[Skinny_Guy]

Female sexuality is different from male sexuality. The man's mission is to spread his genes as far as he can, so he mates with as many women as he can. Even if they have some flaws, he will still do it. That is why men are attracted to a wider range of looks compared to women.
The woman's mission, on the other hand, is to mate with the best man she can find to produce the best kids. That's why they are ready to stay single if the men that fancy her are not hot enough. That's why even fat ugly girls can sometimes get tall fit handsome guys, but fat ugly men only get hot girls because of money.
That is how biology works, everything else is your delusion.

[Opinion Owner]

@Skinny_Guy I literally have a degree in biology. What you’ve described isn’t how biology works it’s how a bunch of uneducated dudes on the internet simplify and basterdize acedemic works to justify themselves and their behavior. Women are far less motivated by physical appearance in literally every study that’s been done on sexuality. That’s not delusion that’s science.

[Skinny_Guy]

Ok, so go ahead and tell us what is the female motivation?

[Opinion Owner]

@Skinny_Guy 1. Stop making everything binary. It’s true that the human species is the product of DNA’s mindless trend towards replication but human behavior doesn’t always fall in line with maximizing genetic goals. 2. Women like men tend to trend towards certain behaviors often due to their genetic influences but most of these behaviors have degrees of variance some larger than others. 3. All human beings tend to desire certain traits over others such as symmetry and clearer skin as they are indicators of health. 4. Traits such as prominent brow lines and jaws are pretty reliable indicators for high testosterone levels. 5. These testosterone levels are often correlated with personality traits however they are not even loosely correlated with female desirability. 6. However Women’s preference in men has been highly linked to their own personality traits for example women accustomed to low income/high danger situations tend to prefer more muscular men.

[Opinion Owner]

I only have so many characters but this can go on and on. Women with low levels of the personality trait of Neroticism (the opposite of what’s caused by the situation I mentioned in the previous example) tend to prefer taller thinner men because musculature is often an indicator of higher levels of testosterone and also aggression. Again all of this is a spectrum and most of it is our brains fuzzy attempts to speculate through generalizations but this is the complexity of biology. It’s simply not possible to sum up human sexuality as chad is hot all women want chad.

[Opinion Owner]

Or in short I can’t tell you what the female motivation is because whatever I could say would be a gross oversimplification of the situation.

[Skinny_Guy]

You basically agreed with my point, because a tall thin handsome guy is still Chad,

[Opinion Owner]

@Skinny_Guy @Skinny_Guy the specific examples I used may have backed your point but my point and yours are not in agreement. If all you’re going to do is say that every person a women is attracted to is chad then yeah you’de be correct but it’d also mean you have no real definition of a chad meaning every incel could easily be a Chad. And this whole incel chad thing would be entirely unfounded.

[Skinny_Guy]

I don't understand your last post. There are no women who prefer the guy on the left to the guy on the right. There are no women who prefer short men to tall men and etc.

[Opinion Owner]

@Skinny_Guy and that’s where you’re Incorrect. And that’s also where our points differ. My point was meant to illustrate that there are various factors both genetic and environmental that have an impact on our desires and in fact someone (many in fact) may very well have a preference outside of your typical descriptions of chad. In fact it’s not uncommon for women who are significantly taller than average to prefer shorter men. I wouldn’t say it’s the majority but it is a significant value and a far more significant value than the preference shown for shorter men in women of average height. The majorities preference shouldn’t be taken as an absolute. That’s like saying because most people prefer Coke to Pepsi that nobody likes Pepsi it’s simply not true.

[BronzedAdonis]

Both environment and genes

[Anonymous]

Ahh Franisco, the hottesr guy on earth.

[Skinny_Guy]

He looks like an incel compared to his morph on the right hand side.

[BOUNTYGUY9]

your genes l have very good genes
