Is it the shoes? Is it the jeans? No its really about the genes...
The old argument of nuture vs nature is one I hope they continue to research and evolve theories on. Its really fascinating.. I think most doctors believe in nature more, I know some doc families that are so into genetics that they refuse to let their daughter marry a PhD researcher because his dad had Cancer and they want to avoid the gene..
But watch Dr.House and you'll see, its a combo for all disorders. They look at family history first, then they look at env (they always search the house for mold/bacteria/etc).
Anyways I ponder as I have genes of issue.. should I really reproduce I wonder.. here i lay it out:
Good:
+ Relatively smart
+ Somewhat thoughtful and caring
+ Physically pretty good and athletic
Bad:
- Lazy & Indecisive
- Unable to commit to anything in life
- Low morale values
- Cancer and high BP genetics
Now if I were really good looking then I'd say surefire reproduce and make the world a prettier place... I guess my child wouldn't be a loser or drag on society.. but does the world really need more people?
Note nobody is pregnant, at least none of my doing. Just a random thought as I ponder life and the universe.
Update on the GF -- we are now at 3 months.. i find.. i like her.. But analysis:
Good:
+ cute and young
+ easy to get along with
+ has personality and her own opinion on things
+ relatively smart but not too smart (and doesn't think she's too smart!!)
+ physically good for bearing Spartan-like children
Bad:
+ watches too much TV
+ too young and naive
+ common ground for solid conversation lacking
+ not the sweetest more caring girl i know (she is nice, but not overly adoring as i'd like)
