Yeah you often strive for maximum compatible difference. There’s no instinct to create a family ladder

A lot of people here are saying that the more genetically similar you are to somebody, the more attractive they are (so long as you dony grow up with them). I’m here to tell you that those guys are completely wrong
Studies have shown that (in other animals unfortunately, not in humans) that the more genetically dissimilar two individuals are, the more attracted they are, so long as they can produce viable offspring (aka they can have kids)
This study would also be done on humans, but that would be slightly morally questionable

If that’s true then why do a lot of people only date the same race as them

I’m not comfortable condemning them for their crippling genetic disabilities (except where they perpetuate it), but they did do the majority of leading countries involved in WWI. And not only do these fucks still have money, they fund modern fascist movements and hateful propaganda as well as still being politically influential. The head of the family is an ambassador for the country his family took from superpower to “I could’ve sworn you were the kangaroo country”

I have zero sympathy for these folks - their genetic problems are wholly self induced and they are a literal cancer on this species.
Fuck 'em.
