ME: I mean objectively you are attractive and I am objectively attractive, but there are a lot of objectively attractive people I don't find attractive, so it makes sense that we might not actually be ourselves type.
fair enough
PAT: i guess the main point would be, those are the things we'd want different for us to find ourselves attractive, not others
ME: well I do think some of the imperfections I see in myself or if not imperfections but non-ideals, other people notice too
PAT: well yes, i mean i can say the same with my huge chin or my bad skin. but there are somethings that to us look bad, but others like. I think my eyes look dull & poop colored. nearly every ex of mine has noted them as one of main things they found attractive about me
my "puppy dog" eyes
ME: hmm, but I do believe in darwin,
I mean I'm not going to be combining my genes with just anyone.
selective processes are made. i probably won't combine mine with just anyone
and just because I am objectively attractive doesn't mean that everyone is going to be attracted to me
PAT: i have bad genes, and the world is over populated. iwant to adopt
ME: well I don't want to squeeze a fetus out of me either, but primitively speaking, my genes outwardly produced themselves into a human that is going to be turned down by some potential mates because she's too fat, or too tall, or doesn't have a pleasing eye color
PAT: darwinism barely applies nowadays
it's not survival of the best genes, it's survivor of the fastest to breed
modern health care & middle class allows this
ME: yeah, all these people are adopting babies spawned from gene pools that should have been weeded out in the selection process
PAT: that's not what i was talking about at all
i'm talking about hicks that have 6 kids by age 23
or tons of baby mamas
etc
ME: lol! I was just being rudely cynical
PAT: yeah
ME: why are all the smart people wearing condoms?
PAT: because they're smart
and we have a modern day plauge but we deny it exists
ME: if they were just a little bit smarter they would care about the genetic heritage we are leaving our decedents!
