Study: Older Fathers Have Less Attractive Children

[Deleted member 21716]

Older fathers have less attractive children because of extra genetic mutations in their genes, scientists have found.

Children of older men are already at greater risk of autism, bipolar disorder, low IQ and schizophrenia.

But now researchers have concluded that the impact of mutated genes is so strong it even has an impact on appearance.

“We found a significant negative effect between paternal age and people’s facial attractiveness,” Martin Fieder, an associate professor in anthropology at the University of Vienna told The Sunday Times.

“The effect is very visible. Someone born to a father of 22 is already 5 – 10 per cent more attractive than those with a 40-year-old father and the difference grows with the age gap.”

Researchers asked volunteers to rate the attractiveness of more than 8,000 men and women. When the analyzed the results they found people with older fathers were rated less attractive than those with younger fathers. They did not look at the age of mothers.

Women are born with all their eggs, but male sperm is constantly replicating. Each time sperm replicates there is a chance for a mutation in the DNA to occur. As men age, they are also exposed to numerous environmental toxins which have been shown to cause DNA mutations in sperm.

Molecular genetic studies have shown that the sperm of older men have far more mutations than those of younger men.

Over the past 40 years the average age of childbearing in England has been increasing steadily for both men and women.


According to the Office for National Statistics the average woman gives birth just a week short of her 30th birthday while first-time mothers are also older, at just over 28. The average age of fathers is now 32 years and six months.

However many men are still having children into their 50s and 60s. Gordon Brown, the former Prime Minister, had his second son James aged 55, while Sir Paul McCartney fathered his daughter Beatrice aged 61

Prof Fielder said the findings do not mean every child born to an older father would be ugly, as appearance is heavily dependent on how attractive a parent was in the first place.

And Professor Lee Smith, of Edinburgh University, said that the children of older fathers often lived longer because they had longer telomeres – the protective caps at the end of chromosomes which prevent damage.

“Longer telomeres are associated with longer life, so it could be that, despite the mutations, they will live longer.”

Retard blackpillers like to blame woman’s age
It’s actually male sperm

I do notice that there is not a very large conversation on the drop in sperm quality as men age. In truth both men's and women's genetic quality drop as they age.

That is what the article says, but it is not what the study says. Shit journalism. The study findings were that older fathers have less attractive children. The study did not seek or find a cause, the "extra genetic mutations" is just speculation. IMO it is more likely that older fathers had less attractive children because attractive men have children at a younger age then unattractive men. Also there is are the variables of the mother's age and the mother's attractiveness which the study did not control for. The article was written by a foid, shocker!

Exactly could just be selection/ sampling bias

Older men have less attractive children because on average chad and tyrone impregnate women easily when they're young, whereas beta billy has to wait until 40 and his crypto investment pays off

Over for civilisation. Average age to have your first child is like 32 in developed countries

Gee, I wonder how old his father was when he had him

How can they determine that it is not because ugly people reproduce later than attractive ones

Also, I would want to know this:

Say a 40 year old Chad impregnates a 25 year old HTB but 40 year old LTN impregnates a 41 year old LTB. How would that effect the attractiveness of said offspring?

I was conceived when my father was 58. Can confirm I was made fun of viciously for being an ugly subhuman since my inception. Also, had a schizo-psychotic break when I was a teen to 21.

“Longer telomeres are associated with longer life, so it could be that, despite the mutations, they will live longer.”

This is even more brutal. Short life with chad looks > long life as a subhuman

My fate was sealed from the womb.

How are your looks?

Indeed. Older mothers and older fathers almost always have unhealthier and uglier children. There's a reason couples used to marry and breed young. Now society wants men to wait until women get their so important humanities degree to work an office job while their eggs decrease in quality and quantity.

My dad was 25 and my mom was 20

I'm ugly but at least I got a fucking massive pornstar dick
