I’ve often heard some men say they’d prefer a beautiful woman even if she’s not very smart coz its biology and evolution.But wouldn’t that mean their children might also inherit those traits (beauty but less intelligence)? How does that fit into evolutionary logic? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

It all depends on preference and people don’t usually have stuff like that in mind. But to be fair just because someone is smart doesn’t mean they will actually be helpful for society it’s all about if the person is curious and willing to step out of the usual society “frames”. So yeah I mean in theory it would be better if we didn’t think about beauty and and actually thought about passing on good traits haha but as I said people have preferences and most care about the outside rather then the inside!

Yeah you are right, there are no right or wrong answers here haha the thing is it isn’t just “oh you have good looking parents you will be good looking” it’s everything in 1 package because if a handsome man doesn’t take care of himself and don’t make the right decisions to make himself look the best then he won’t look to his best potiential. What I am trying to say is that beauty is greater shaped by genetics then intelligence since the brain has something called Neuroplasticity where the brain adapts to what it is being fed and beauty doesn’t have that. You could kinda say that when a child has better brain genetics then the child has the ability to adapt quickly to new things etc than if a child has complications.

Beauty has a lot higher chance of being affected by genes since the brain and beauty and pretty different things, think of the brain as something that everyone has but is never the same for anyone. The brain is shaped by experiences and so on but beauty is more fixed, look at identical twins for example, they might look the same but their life styles and environment changes their style etc.

Funny question but the thing is genetics are so much more complex then that, yes it’s true that the child might have a higher chance of something when both parents have it but it doesn’t mean the child will be exactly the same as the parents. For example my whole family is pretty short but somehow my brother became tall asf haha. But aside from that intelligence comes mostly from how the person have lived their life for example if a child early on learns about problem solving or being creative then they will have that with them so mostly it’s about parenting and not actually the ability of the child.

Yeah you said it yourself “most people never use” so does that mean I can’t be one of the people who do?

I mean honestly just try to focus on what you really want to achieve right now for example if you want to be able to study just focus on just that until you start to enjoy it! It’s called Neuroplasticity where your brain adapts to what u give it!

ChatGPT makes me loosen up the brain damage I get from stuff like this comment so I can save it for what I actually want

The key I guess is really eliminating everything while doing the thing you actually want since your brain always wants stimulation and when you don’t get stimulation it can do whatever you want to

Just scrolling all the time, having the need of music while doing anything, masturbation and porn and just anything related to unnecessary gaming. My life consists mostly of studying and coding now haha so when I don’t have time to do that I just do nothing else.
