Why do good qualities tend to attract and combine together, is it genetics or lifestyle or something else?

Like when I went to school, most of the men and women I talked to were very good looking. They were also 90% or higher very intelligent.

I was watching a video of another school that has a lower ranking, and it seemed over 75% of the students were very overweight. Many had wrinkles on their face in their teens or twenties.

I went to a very good high school and when I google these people I went to school with, less than 8% are fat.

People who went to poorer high schools seem to have much higher obesity rates and health problem ratios.

What qualities are you referring to? If they're physical ones, then yes, those are purely genetic and their parents may be very attractive for them to be handsome/beautiful. If it's their habits and traits, then those have a lot more to do with the teachings instilled in them since childhood, their social upbringing and the relationships they've had.

Like if I'm speaking personally, and I don't mean to brag here, but if there's one thing I've heard people say they like the most about me is that I'm always respectful to everyone I meet, regardless of their age, gender or status. I'll talk to a female colleague the same way as I'll talk to my male colleagues, and I'll show my cleaner the same level of respect and appreciation when I talk to them, as I would my boss, and that's something people have told me isn't very common (at least where I live).

Are you really surprised? The wealthier group will be eating healthier foods and come from families that made sure they paid attention at school.
