choosing a partner just because they’re attractive hoping the offspring will be beautiful too just doesn’t make much sense scientifically.
Physical beauty is influenced by many genes not just one or two, and the way those genes combine in children is random. That’s why many attractive people have average looking parents, beauty often comes from rare genetic combinations that don’t reliably repeat. There’s also a concept called “regression to the mean,” which means extreme traits like high attractiveness usually shift back toward average in the next generation. Choosing your partner for qualities like health and intelligence makes far more sense
