So what is it that attracts you to the opposite sex?

The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Looks are very important but then kids happen and values change. We then become content with rocking chairs and afternoon naps.

It is everything.

It is also important that a girl not have a Y chromosome in her genes.

Yeah you can look at people and think.. gee! That person must have a great personality!

Obviously there has to be a physical attraction initially. But what you find attractive is all subjective of course

Traits that skip a generation (like hair loss)? What are some of the other genes that skip a gen?

i have to disagree the statement regarding that high percentage of children will take the appearance from their grandparents. Certain traits can carry over, but most of the time there's genetic recombination between maternal and paternal chromosomes which explains why some kids don't look like their parents at all. In the case where there's little recombination, the kids might look more like dad or mom depending on the expression of the chromosomes.

There are many traits that can skip generations; colorblindess, sickle cell, down syndrome, etc. It really depends on the parent's genetic makeup. The simplest way to explain traits that skip generation is something like this:
Grandpa (X/X) + Grandma (x/x)
Son: (X/x) Heterozygous + Son's wife (X/x)
Grandson 1: (X/X) Grandson 2: (X/x) Grandson 3: (x/x)

(X/X) = sickle cell
(X/x) = normal
(x/x) = Normal

Haha sorry for getting so into this.
From my point of view, physical appearance is huge part of selecting who I would date and anyone that says looks don't matter at all is lying or trying really hard to fight their "biological instinct". However, physical appearance can only go so far, after the initial attraction, it's all about the personality and connection. I

*lol* No need to tell me the basic genetics, I was very good in bio and bio chem.....js.....and u r talking about genetic errors.....appearance is a little bit different....to that I didn't made it up....statistics did.....js

such a stupid question.... its the most important trait ever.. like when ur ugly.. lets just say good luck!

I like this girl cause she has a good personality and just looks great. She isn't super hot.
Please don't tell this girl I said that.

YBLYKDAT4, ugly people need lovin too. They're probably get with any guy though.
Or if the guy is not so good lucking, he can use his charm cause most women want a guy that can take care of them and so forth.

It has the same answer to the question "Does Size Matter?" ^.^

hey talk nicely

tasety experience !!! good luck to myself

It's so important, it has made me superficial to the point where i stay away from ugly chicks and average ones because there usually the ones everyone go for and then they think there all good looking when there ugly as hell. you know what i'm saying...This is why you can't believe em damn photos of chicks who only take it from a certain angle and they look all pretty there but when you see em whole thang..they ugly ugly ugly ugly. internet dating sites are filled with em. Blame it on the media. /end rant
