I didn't assume that they cared lol I said either you do care and you don't intend to be long term with me or you don't care and I don't like that lol

So do you just think tall people have superior genes? I don't think that's true in the slightest personally. Actually, life expectancy goes down with height. Life is made for average height people. No one is "ruining" their bloodline. Like say you had a rare genetic condition, should that person just not have kids?

No I think it's just not common to be super tall and shouldn't go to waste if you can help it lol I'm pretty smart I'm not gonna marry an idiot and nuke my kids chances at having a relatively easy time in school and getting into good colleges.

I think if you have a genetic condition you should consider that when you have kids like I have horrible eye sight, ideally im not gonna pick someone in the same boat as me to give my kids a chance and luckily most ppl don't think about this so it won't pose a problem for me in dating generally lol

I mean looking for comparable intelligence for compatibility is one thing but I don't get it from a genetics perspective. I just find the borderline eugenics you are spitting a bit concerning but obviously you are free to think and value anything you want to.

I mean it's very easy to get. It's not eugenics to choose your partner with consideration for your children if you intend to have children lol it's actually really normal

yeah no that’s weird and i’ll stand by that. you should be having kids with someone because you love them not in the hopes your children turn out a certain way? that’s literally eugenics.

Um so words have definitions and that's actually not the definition of eugenics lol nobody is getting sterilized because tall people wanna marry tall people and smart people wanna marry smart people and pretty people wanna marry pretty people, please be serious

maybe not “literally” eugenics but it’s the same mindset as the freaks that practiced it

Like not at all. I don't think short people shouldn't exist or shouldn't be allowed to have kids lol I just think if you were blessed with X good trait, you should want to pass that to your kids lol. All good things come with some level of privilege, why make your kid's life harder than yours when you could just not do that

the point is that being tall isn’t inherently better and there’s nothing wrong with short people OR tall people’s genes lmfao? that literally doesn’t make sense

also short people can have tall kids and vise versa? what happens when the 6’3 guy reproduces with a 6’ girl for tall kids and they have a 5’8 son lmfao

I didn't say it's inherently better but how many 5'6 guys do you know who didn't wish they were taller vs 6'4 guys who did wish they were shorter? Society exists as it exists lol and the way you are perceived in society does indeed impact your lived experience

Rare cases aren't the point here, you can't perfectly predict how your kid is coming out in any cases but you can say with near certainty that the likelihood of a 6'0 woman and 6'3 guy having a 5'8 son is way lower than it is with a 5'2 girl and 6'3 guy lol

regardless of whatever point you’re trying to make, you literally should not be selecting your partner based on what type of babies you think they’ll make. that’s extremely weird behavior and i’d argue that it’s selfish to have children with that type of mindset. trying to pre-select your child’s traits is so odd

No, no. I am selecting a partner with all things considered and my children are actually an important thing to consider. It's selfish to not think about your children when choosing a partner if you're gonna have children with them. It's not like I'll pick a piece of shit loser to marry just because he's tall lol
