[@riveranicole]

The X chromosome carries more information about physical appearance in itself than Y chromosome. Fathers give their daughters the X chromosome so girls often look like their fathers and paternal grandmothers (because a man inherited his X chromosome from his mother and passed it). Boys inherit from their father only Y choromosome and X from their mothers, so boys often looks like their mothers and maternal grandfathers

[@SY-ok2dq]

Yes I've heard that but with my sibling and myself, we look like blends, where there's not a strong lean one way or the other. But actually I look strangely a lot more like my father's sister. I don't really look like either parent (you have to anaylze really closely to see one or two features that resemble a parent). Plus I have other traits that make me seem like I'm not their child. But those traits are recessive in my father's family, in the female line (so both my grandmother and one of his sisters have those traits - also have several moles which my father and most of his siblings have too, and mostly on their face, so very visible - no moles on mother's side). I can only see a bit of my mother in my face, but I have almost exactly her body type, similar height, similar personality traits.

[@SY-ok2dq]

​​@@riveranicoleOh that aligns with me and my paternal grandmother. I've inherited more of her physical traits than my sibling, but not her height or build (both of those come from my mother). There are actually several physical traits that were handed down to me from her, including her left handedness which neither of my parents have, nor does my sibling. I think all of my father's other siblings are right handed as well. I have a couple of other traits which my father doesn't have either but one of his sisters has (I actually resemble his sister much more than my father). There's also the facial and body moles which run strongly through my father's family. He as a prominent facial mole and so do all of his other siblings except one, and I have a very small facial mole but other moles elsewhere. My sibling does not and nor did my mother. But just looking at me, especially when younger, I don't look like his daughter at all in face or height.

This is why I say, on average objectively women are more attractive than males, including without make up, it just is what it is

[@5-es4mn]

For men, there are aging signs at much younger ages. Naturally, the white part of the eyes becomes yellow or darker, there's a huge hair loss, deep wrinkles beside the eyes, and their biological age of the brain, heart, and immune system ages more even when they have way better life than women. They are less symetrical and They even have white hair at 25. The fact that some of them can still father children is not an advantage but quite the opposite. It's a terrible deficiency of nature. It leads to an alarming population explosion full of diseases and defects. Most developmental problems and many other flaws in children stem from the father's age. A woman is attracted to a 25-year-old man, even if she is 70. It doesn't mean she's truly attracted to him and wants to have a relationship with him; it's simply her natural inclination. I am not married, so i look way younger than married women and way younger than men my age. But all the media love to spread so much lies. Men say they are the better looking, even when women look better than them when they are way poor when girls are one day old .

[@kylerBD]

Ive noticed this my whole life actually and it isn't just because I'm straight. So many women are incredibly attractive and yet very few men are objectively good looking.

[@pop7292]

Not really, most men have things women have to draw on with makeup, like darker and thicker eyebrows and longer eyelashes and men skin age at a slower rate because mens skins is twice as thick. I have yet to see a 10/10 women just wake up like that. I think it's like a bell curve, yes women on avg are more attractive but the most attractive people are going to be men.

[@AN-uf5vg]

That logic doesn’t follow. He’s saying they’re not correlated with parents, no that there’s fewer attractive males.

[@johnkim6574]

Men are having more angular and prominent features naturally. Woman are more likely to have wrinkles faster because they have thinner skin compare to men. Women put more effort into beauty and makeup. Men are more likely to drink and smoke which degrade their skin quality.

[@spiralsausage]

My theory is that a greater number of features look attractive on females compared to males. If a male looks feminine (rounder face, inherited from mother) he is disproportionately less attractive than a female who inherits a stronger male jawline from her father, and than a female who also has a rounder face.

[@TruthOverFacts1]

I completely agree. A woman can pull off not having any jawline and still look beautiful. If a woman has a strong jawline, she will look even more beautiful. A man not having a jawline is absolutely unacceptable in beauty standards.

[@Kpop_stole_foids_fromcurrycell]

Apparently the most attractive kids come from average looking parents . I come from fairly average looking parents but I was scouted for modelling.

[@lone-welf]

LMFAO.

[@Woaooa-fq5ei]

Yeah because beauty also comes from how well the features come together (which happens basically at random however the parents do need to have decent features already for the kid to come out as attractive). Looking at lots of model’s parents you can see that they had pretty average parents (Brad Pitt for example) and their siblings are probably also average looking (again look at Brad Pitts siblings). So basically beauty is about features and proportions and the proportions are decided by how much Mother Nature loves you.

[@Carrie-sgda]

@@Woaooa-fq5eiyes I agree, loves you or hates you? 😂 Being attractive can also be a curse , it's found that average looking women tend to have the most male attention. I have heard a lot of this new term "pretty privilege" on social media but it's never felt like a privilege to me

[@agatazietek9098]

@@JeanKulacek-france yes. I guess the result of churning out too many shorts for the sake of algorithm. Plus, I think I've heard of the theory discussed here, and the thesis was not "parents' attractiveness has no impact on son's attractiveness" but just "father's attractiveness", meaning the correlation between mother and son's attractiveness wasn't the focus. And even then, it's just... odd. Hot people tend to have attractive children. Pierce Brosnan's sons may be less attractive than him, but all are decent looking and moreso than the average dude. The most handsome men often have kids less attractive than them, but they're rarely ugly unless the mother is, or they're unlucky enough to get their genes from some ugly great grandparent.

[@septanine5936]

I think visual attractiveness has a lot to do with how individual features look together. a person can have any combination of features, but what matters is if they come together to create some sort of balance, or feature cohesion. I think this is why many who become models have somewhat androgynous faces, a balance between soft and sharp. those deemed attractive have higher levels of feature cohesion, those deemed unattractive, lower levels, and those deemed average, average levels.I figured this out through art, as I wanted to find out why some of the faces I drew were less appealing than others, and it seems to come down to a balance of shapes and space.

No. This is why. The sexy son hypothesis states that the man should be tall however it states two variables, and one of them is relevant to this. Firstly for him to be attractive, and secondly for the man to be masculine and tall. Which means that usually the sexy son means, masculine son. However the attractive variable is what makes the hypothesis weaken a little bit. So no it is not the contrary, yes it does mean it is weaker.

[@GearZNet]

Definitely this. If someone ran her face through an AI app to see the male version of her it'd become obvious that she isn't as attractive as Alain. Not that she's ugly but it makes sense why the combination of their genetics would produce a male offspring that falls short of the fathers looks.

[@LuvinLife72395]

I have noticed when two pretty people have avg kids its because the parents didnt pay attention to their health/lifestyle and passed on less healthy genes. Bone structure and beauty in terms of nature is just a surplus of nutrients and not caring for yourself can make it less likely those genes survive a bad environment. Also I notice many good looking traits are recessive which is why beauty seems rare and the more children a couple has the more average looking they seem to get. Brad and angie with their twins vs shiloh is an example imo

[@Ana-ty8sl]

You are probably male.

[@GearZNet]

Could be like the other person said, a poor upbringing, or that your parents had genes that didn't complement each other. Certain features may be attractive on each individual parent but when mixed together the median between the two falls into a uncanny valley of unattractiveness. Not to harp on but I see it like mixing food. Certain foods go together like peanut butter and chocolate, others while good on their own make a bad combination like mayo and ice cream.

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

Attractive parents have a disproportionate number of the attractive people in the next generation, yet people born to attractive people tend to be a bit less attractive than their parents due to deviation to the mean. The likelihood you share the genes with your mate for these traits is dependent on allele frequencies of the population. So if you're an insane outlier for your genetic background and have children with someone of the same background, your children will deviate toward that population mean. And traits are also dependent on harder to predict things like somatic mutations and additive heritability. The next generation of people with +2SD intelligence would only be a little over +1SD on average

My son looks like me (His Mother) he is stunning. Whilst I'm not drop dead gorgeous I'm far from ugly, I think my features just look amazing on his face. My daughter looks like her dad, her wee face is so unique and she has his skinny genetics which is a bonus for a female.

My take is that each egg & sperm carries variations of DNA that also include variations of ancestor DNA. This is how some Black couples can have a white baby, or someone has a kid show up with green eyes in a Brown eyed family. It’s not just the parent’s DNA that forms the kid, it’s a combination of a bunch of DNA sequences mixed into each sperm & egg that vary each time.

[@jessicamerced9116]

This is so fascinating. I wish everyone understood genetics like this. My partner and I are both brunette and brown eyed, I have brown skin..our baby is blonde and blue eyed…the looks we get! I couldn’t believe that our genes worked together that way. I want to wear a shirt that says “Yes, this is our biological child” 🥹

[@Allyfyn]

Yeah, I only share a few features with my mother, and none that I can find with my father other than having a bit more baby fat in my face like when he was younger. I definitely took a lot of genes from my ancestors.

[@princesscookie5245]

I'm so glad both my parents are attractive.❤

[@kieranoneill4000]

It’s down to health and correct oral posture. If you bring up active and healthy children they are more likely to be attractive. Couple that with correct body posture and oral posture and most children are likely to be above average in looks at least. Son or daughter. It is often the case that attractive parents have children that are deemed unattractive. Usually due to some health inadequacies. And vice versa with parents deemed unattractive having attractive children. Just look at Zendaya parents. Bring them up healthy, keep them active and be aware of their breathing and posture and they should be fine.

Both of my parents are quite attractive. As ridiculous as it sounds I remember growing up hoping to be as good looking as them one day. But it never really started actually happening for me until I got relatively deep into puberty. I say all this to say my parents are both very good looking, yet so am I and my brother. I didn’t think science would find that to not be the norm.

[@needwon6308]

I honestly think that age, hair and weight are important factors to consider. In the first example his choice of hair (Inc. Facial) was not necessarily flattering. If you look at the parents both look to take great pride in their appearance and prefer to keep their hair away from the face. I saw all the examples as equally beautiful/handsome people but some having slightly unmatched hair. With the pictures comparing two ladies the one of the right looks unkempt due to the strands of hair on her face, which automatically makes her less attractive in comparison. She also seems to have a higher body fat percentage which is contributing on the roundness of her face. This is simulated on the assumption that she will end up being of similar bmi to be parents but naturally our fat percentage increases with age and fluctuates. With the two men the left has softer features which compliments the shaved face. On the right the masculine features would be better complimented with some facial hair and slightly longer hair. Due to differences in fat distribution on the face, people may also look their best with varying weights. Some larger people, especially women look stunning with their rounded features. On the other hand people who store fat closer to their jaw will have fuller looking jawlines at lower bmis but may begin to look a bit puffy with a higher bmi. Beauty is subjective and has basis on our ability of pattern recognition. The way some colours compliment eachother more than other, shapes do too. Some people look better with more fat, some with less. It's about learning what makes you feel beautiful. I was always quite short and slightly larger and at 15 weighed 71kg. By the time I was 18 I went down to 56kg. I was there for my journey and that's when I learnt that I actually prefer myself to have a higher fat percentage (61kg) as it accentuated my features better and focused on gaining muscle to support that form. I also learnt that when I was bigger I looked better with my hair down and at my current weight I look better with my hair tied back. I also found out that my natural blonde hair is too close tone wise to my skin and made me looked washed out. I look and feel better now that I toned it more orange.

[@riverotters]

I think I've somewhat noticed this with celebrity children in some cases. They generally have pretty daughters, but it's a toss up with the sons. But my family bucks all the trends in this video. My dad is hypermasculine, and I ended up so feminine I got misgendered (as an adult) when I grew my hair out. On the other hand, my model cousin had a very good-looking mother that looks just like him. He's like the guy version of her, but he's masculine, and yet his father isn't. When I think of the good-looking non-celebrity guys I've known in my life, if they don't have good-looking parents (which most of them do), they tend to at least have very sexually dimorphic looking parents. A lot of the prettiest girls I've known had either manly/good-looking dads, but frumpy moms, or pretty moms that looked just like them with nerdy dads. So idk about any of this except among very good-looking top-tier celebrities.

[@hudaverdirey868]

What is wrong with you guys? They are really attractive. I can’t see what you guys are talking about

[@SY-ok2dq]

It's not just Bruce's daughters - he only makes daughters! - with Demi. Look at photos (there aren't many, but there are enough) of Bruce's youngest kid, Emma Heming's daughter. Their 1st seems to look like Emma - but remember she is a pre-teen. Rumer, at the same age, kind of looked a bit like she could be that daughter's paler sister (brown curly hair, wirh Rumer having lighter hazel brown eyes than the Heming daughter). But the 2nd looks like one of thw younger Willis/Moore kids. You can see already she has a nose and jaw/chin which is heavy and blockier. It's BRUCE baby!

[@SY-ok2dq]

​@@mikefountaini1 No it's Bruce! Look up photos of Bruce's youngest girl (mother Emma Heming). Not many photos but you can see it already in those photos of the youngest. Not the elder daughter with Heming (but keep in mind she is still young and pre-teen, and changes might happen at puberty).

It's called regression toward the mean. Taller than average parents tend to have taller than average children, but less tall than themselves. There are many more average people, and many more ways to be average than to be exceptional. More ways = more likely.

[@kieranoneill4000]

I am an un-identical twin. I inherited the looks of my father and my brother my mother. Both parents could be deemed relatively attractive in their younger years and current age. Both fairly equal in attractiveness. I would say my brother is considerably more attractive than myself not because he has inherited the looks of my mother but because he has achieved much better facial growth. After studying facial growth a bit over the past few years it is considerably noticeable. The reason I am not as attractive as my brother is not due to inheriting the looks of my father but due to the poorer facial growth due to poor oral posture and bad breathing habits. All parents should research Dr John and Mike mew and their methods of orthodontics as well as correct oral posture and breathing.

[@jamesferone9021]

There is always regression towards the mean. For two tall parents their child will likely be shorter than them regressing back to the average height. The same for attractiveness. Else there would be a runaway effect where children of tall parents would continue to grow taller and taller

[@magical11]

That's ... not how it works at all. Regression towards the mean describes a sampling of random variables. If two tall people have children they're passing their genes to their offspring; their children don't inherit random genes from the population. Also the runaway effect you're describing is literally called evolution. Without this there wouldn't be different ethnicities or species; we'd all regress back to the same generic proto-organism.

[@Maniac-007]

Remember guys. We have dominant and recessive genes. It takes 1 of 2 to get good traits and 2 of 2 to get bad traits. Attractive parent might possess 1 good and 1 bad pair of genes, and passed down the bad one. Just because you have attractive parents, doesn’t mean that they don’t have bad genes. It’s just a matter of luck. Live with what cards you’re drawn with and be grateful.

[@Danuxsy]

the thing is that how you use the cards you are dealt with are not in your control, that's epigenetics Lol

[@kairon5249]

genetics is far more complicated than the simple allele system you were taught in school. different genes all interact with eachother, there are more than 2 different versions for each allele, the expression of those genes can be changed during fetal development or later in life (this is believed to be the cause for homosexuality), and often the line between dominant and recessive becomes blurred.

If i live a very bad lifestyle and therefore have super low testosterone, would that also impact my son? And if this is true, i assume the opposite is as well? Like if i live a very masculine and healthy lifestyle, my son would be more masculine and healthy too? Also lifestyle impacts looks a lot.

[@Mahi.yeaahh]

This is true bro. Our lifestyle surely affects the future generations genes. Our Genetics professor once told that a guy's habits at his teenage influences the genes a lot which will show later in his child's genes also. like smoking reduces testosterone levels and negatively impacts the dna .

[@somerandomguy3037]

Yeah, and it will also facilitate a better environment for growth for the kid. If you are an active masculine father then you will likely have your son playing sports, eating more healthy, and in turn developing more testosterone and HGH which will lead to better facial and in bodily developments like him being taller, getting wilder shoulders, low body fat etc. You lifestyle will also directly affect the genetics of your child, so whenever your plan to have a child make sure you start living a healthy lifestyle, training, eating healthy etc to create the best possible life for your child.

Bro having a child is like spining the machine at the casino, you do not know what you will get. Parents can decide to have 2 children and both are ugly but then on the third one the baby comes out with attractive features. I feel like our dna or whatever it is gives us different features so that we are distinguishable. Some people get lucky and are born looking good while others not so much. One last thing i will say is dopplegangers, i find it amazing that 2 couples can make children that look alike even tho the parents don't have the same genes as each other.

That is why mares generally dont get desexed but stallions are. This is why there are usually one alpha male babboon or rooster or lion per group/flock/pride. Because not all males are beautiful or successful and deserve to breed, but almost all females are kept. Only studs exist to continue the bloodline and improve bloodlines, the rest of the male horses are turned into geldings. This is to improve good traits and remove bad ones. Even our ancestors have figured this out. They gave harems to the most successful men and other men werent even allowed to have wives. And im a feminist, im just pointing out history snd natural selection. For most men and male animals it sucks, for the select few it's wonderful. Im just saying if Alain had slept with multiple women, there's a high chance he would have more beautiful kids for sure.
