Are people who don't care about looks likely to have ugly offspring?

Yes

No

no, cause they just say that they don't care while actually they do. never met someone who claimed they don't care with an ugly partner.

there are people who don't care. why do you think so many people are fucking ugly in a way one generation of missing the genetic lottery couldn't result in

[genericname85]

"why do you think so many people are fucking ugly". i don't think that's a fact. just your opinion. and if that's your opinion that's just quite telling about your character, not about people. anyway. the vast majority of people are looking for the most attractive mate they can attract. the vast majority who claim not to do that do actually do that. it's just the answer they see as the most publicly appealing thing to say and that's the reason they say it. it's about their public image, not about the truth. so yeah. people not caring about looks do exist but those are outliers and they aren't on some sort of dominant procreation trend.

I think it's clearly a fact. look around at people.

[genericname85]

that's just the fact is that "to you" most people are unattractive. same is true for everyone else. that doesn't mean everyone is guly. preferences differ. not the same people are ugly to everyone.

[Asker]

yeah you sound like one of these guys who insists humans are evolving and not devolving

[genericname85]

you mean like one of the great majority of people who don't suffer from delusions like flat earth or creationist ideas. yup. i'm one of those.

[Asker]

delusions like humans are devolving? ever heard of Francis Galton?

[genericname85]

quoting some person won't change the fact that the earth is a globe, that gods don't evidently exist and that evolution is a thing. if you call it "devolving" that's nothing but your own normative assessment. you wanna say something becomes worse but that's your opinion. that opinion can be based on facts but still "what's better or worse" isn't your decision to make. again. nature is indifferent to what you think is better or worse. that's the point.

You keeping to quote random names doesn't change the facts as I already stated.

Don't be so absurd.

[Asker]
