:
compliment your looks and intelligence?

For example, if your height, nose, hair, skintone, or any other part of your body that has bothered you... would you want a mate who would offset that?

Like Prince and his height - should he have not chosen a tall female to bear his children? Stupid example, but I wanted to make it clear.

---

In a didactic sense, I would say no. Yet in an expinensial/retorical phasiology I would be forced to concur the value of said rudimentary observations, or yes.

No...we are what we are; but the person you have your children with should find you attractive.

The sister of my best friend in grade school, told me that she specifically - my best friend ended up doing the same - looked for a man who was tall, had dark hair, and blue eyes. She found him, eventually got married, and had two beautiful daughters. The irony here is, niether one had the qualities of her husband.

But I know people who have done this, so I wanted to see what others thought.

Trying to offset a feature...I understand the question now.

I would think your children might be a complete surprise; they might look like a grandparent, for example. It would seem like a very silly way to choose a mate--think of the great person you might disqualify in the process!

serieus, did never did pose me that question for real.

Exactly! But then again, it also happens all the time that a person mates and features get softened... but there are no guarantees, that's for sure.

Unless you're gonna chart pedigrees and use Punnet squares to calculate the likelihood of phenotypic variables, I think the idea is little more than a whimsical one. Genes can play some very unpredictable tricks in the face of lighthearted "planning."

From some biological standpoint, I've heard that all animals seek on some subconcious level a partner that has genetic qualities that might desirably affect their offsping. I can buy that. But while I'm more immediately drawn to others whom I find physically or intellectually attractive, I can't say I considered my wife's "papers" when I met her as reproduction was regarded.

Well said!

I agree. One thing I forgot to mention was that her other sister - not my best friend - married a man who possessed the same traits (brown hair, brown eyes, medium height, etc) and her daughter came out with blonde hair and blue eyes!

Most definately, it's really those recessive genes that one doesn't see that can play a large role.

ohhh i get it,,,


selective breeding...


i dont believe it works... cause i have seen some butt fuckin ugly people make the most beautiful children

SHIT...
ALL MY BABIES ARE FINE AS FUCK, THAT'S WHY THEIR MOMMA'S
BIT IN THE FIRST PLACE ( YEAH I PICKED THEM TOO )
MY GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS SAID "YOU PICK YOUR BABIES, BY PICKIN THEIR MOMMA'S" SHE NEVER LIED.
BUT THE SAVING GRACE IS, EVEN SHOULD I (IN MY LIFE TIME) FUCK AROUND AND HOOK UP WITH A 'DOG'
MY GENES ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME ANY OF THE FLAWS
OF HER FAMILY HISTORY...

OH!!!
IN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION,
I DON'T NEED TO BE REMINDED,
BUT ALL DURING THE PREGNINCIES I REMINDED THEM
THAT THEY WOULD NEVER BE ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THEY WERE RITE THEN.

My gf is a quite lot taller than me...but it wasn't planned by either of us. We just like each other a lot. That's the important thing.

DORA said:

So what you're saying is that I still have hope?

You know I've found that some of the ugliest people have the most beautifulest babies and some the prettiest people with some ugly kids

wow...interesting but there is no guarantee on what feature the child may pick up. Myself and my daughters father are dark brown skinned and my child is the color of Prince. She looks EXACTLY like her dad but yet she didn't get our skin color. So you never know.

no. it's not important to me. i've always been attracted to big men, so i know the father of my child will be big.

I hope the father of my kids will be reasonably tall. It would be cruel to have little itty tiny boys, as I'm under 5 feet.

LaVisHh said:

This will likely be a non-issue... I don't think I want any children.

teller said:

I wonder if I could select a mate to offset my appalling personality.

If possible, I would suggest the same for many of you. ;-D

If Prince wants a tall woman, he better look me up QUICK

***

I think about it only in the sense of height. I wouldn't wanna breed w/ a baller, my kids would all be awkward 7 footers who are too difficult to clothe - who needs that??

LaVisHh said:

it's not important 4 him (Prince) at least i don't think so...!
who wants 2 look 4 the purfect female when she's rite here???

CalhounSq said:

taller girl/shorter guy couples are cool. being a little different is cool.

Penis said:

I guess I have yet to be w/ a man taller than me

Natsume said:

You hit on the reason I thought about this thread to begin with. I was thinking about how tiny Prince was, and how he's worn heels to offset his height. I'm not sure if it ever bothered him, but... makes you think he'd want to increase the height within his genepool.

I think it's cool that you are. I have a sister who is 4'11", and she goes around saying she is 5'... just cuz. She is my father's child from another mother. She is sooo cute and petite!

Thanks for the inspiration LaV.

I think I will go out and impregnate twenty women today in an effort to create a perfect society.

Seriously, I don't think children are the end result of some scientific formula. They are more an extension of one's love.
