Which traits or characteristics would you want/not want to pass on to your children

[jerney]

Since you can't actually control these things, it's still fun to imagine. :D

I would hope that my future children wouldn't inherit

My fine, limp northern hair
My fivehead (though I'd prefer a fivehead to a low, woggish hairline).
I've never really liked my nose, so let's scratch that one off the list too
My crooked teeth that took years of braces to fix

I do hope that if I ever have a daughter (or even son) that have

My high cheekbones
My blue eyes
My light brown hair
If I have a daughter I wouldn't mind if she got my petite frame, but I don't particularly want a son that grows up to be scrawny and short :D
An outgoing, assertive personality, which the opposite of my childhood personality as I was very shy and introverted.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I'll have more to add later.

[Rastko]

Son-everything.

Daughter-nothing.

[Sikeliot]

I'm not having children, but if I did;

Traits to pass down;

- I have thick hair and not much history of baldness in the family.
- Lips
- Eyes
- My outspoken, blunt personality

Traits not to pass down;

- Unibrow
- Height (I am so short, that may be why I am mistaken for much younger)
- Nose
- Hairy body.

[jerney]

Aren't you a bit young to have already decided you're not ever having kids?

[Sikeliot]

Aren't you a bit young to have already decided you're not ever having kids?

I most likely would not have the time to raise kids, if I achieve my career goals.

[Vasconcelos]

Traits not to pass down


Teeth - too large for my oral cavity, and have thus given me a hard time until I had bracers. I had to remove one lower incisive tooth to make all others be perfectly lined up. Top ones still aren't as lined up as I'd like and, ironically, one incisive is too small. I had one extra canine tooth that was removed, the remaining ones are pretty pointy.
Lips - too meaty for my personal taste, although slightly less would be just aobut perfect.
Bodyhair - not that I have much, but I still don't like it. I might get lucky here, my gf's family is pretty hairless, her brother's "beard" is as almost as dense as Graham's.
Sense of justice - I'm usually regarded as being relatively unbiased (except with certain types of people, in which case I clearly discriminate and thus get the "racista" or "preconceituoso" label) and to be fair, even if I judge people too much (ISTJ).



Traits to pass down;


Forehead - not too tall, not too short and very straight (at least in the middle).
Nose - almost perfectly straight.
Hands - thin with very long fingers, they have a 23 or 24cm span, eventhough I'm just 1,74m tall.
Legs - people always say they look "nice". They are also pretty strong, in highschool I was the fastest on my class and undisputably the one who could jump higher/longer in all classes. Teachers said I should have been an athlete, but I discarded the idea.

[Vixen]

If I have a daughter I wouldn't mind if she got my petite frame, but I don't particularly want a son that grows up to be scrawny and short :D

Ditto :thumb001:
I´m also not a fan of my big nose, nonexistent upper lip and curly hair, but I like my eyes, cheekbones and skin.

[Siegfried]

Traits they should have:

My eye colour
My height (and possibly robustness)
My cheekbones and jaw
My attached earlobe

Traits they shouldn't:

My non-aquiline nose
My eyebrows
My chinky eyes:D

[Flintlocke]

Son: My uber big ... u know

Daugher: Like my mother, married a virgin and stayed loyal and married despite the problems.

[Graham]

Wouldn't want to pass on my big goofy teeth & slight lazy eye.

[jerney]

Ditto :thumb001:

Do you straighten it every day or do you have one of those Brazilian hair straightening things? I agree on the no upper lip thing, I also hate that, especially because my bottom lip is a decent size. And I don't think your nose is big at all and I'm not just saying that to try to flatter you or anything!

[Damião de Góis]

Eye color, otherwise i wouldn't feel they were my children :D

[Balmung]

I'm stubborn?

Don't want a stubborn child. Two stubborn personalities together can cause.......issues :lol:

If you were so concerned about blue eyes then you would have married a German.

And I don't think your nose is big at all and I'm not just saying that to try to flatter you or anything!

I used to wash, blow out and flat iron every other day... or every 2 days, when it´s colder (my hair is very thick and tends to get dry if I wash it every day). I now have a botox treatment, which is like a Brazilian straightening, but without formaldehyde (I couldn´t bring myself to put that stuff in my hair). It didn´t make my hair completely straight, but it reduced the volume and eliminated the frizz. I´ve also had Yuko (Japanese staightening, makes your hair totally straight and it´s permanent, so only the new hair that grows in is curly) but that was a few years ago.

[Siginulfo]

Blue eyes, dolychocephaly (son), skin fairness. Love for the knowledge and for anthropology. Pride for their race and people.

[Svipdag]

I never had any children, and aren't they lucky ! If I had had a child, I would want him/her to inherit my intelligence, my sense of humor, my honesty and my insatiable curiosity.

Not to be inherited would be my temper, my arrogance, my mistrustfulness , and my propensity for scathing sarcasm.

The only physical trait I would want him/her not to inherit would be my eye color, during most of my adult life, a muddy green.

What? More than Germans have blue eyes, and Germans an also have brown eyes.

[Osprey]

Yes
But the specific Greek in question does not (if my guess is correct)

[Vasconcelos]

I guess "blue eyes" wasn't the most important factor on a life partner for her, I wonder why.

[jerney]

lol you are aware not all Germans have blue eyes, right? And you are aware that not all Greeks are brown eyed..?

[Osprey]

Then it should not be a factor to desire in children too.
After all, you sow what you reap.

[Balmung]

Don't know why everyone like to portray Germans as blonde blue eyed nordids. There's this chick/dude on another forum by the name Debian who makes it their agenda to prove Germans are all nordic gods. :lol:

[Incel King]

Traits to pass down:

[jerney]

Welcome to the anti-traditionalist postmodern mindset.

I only asked because I said the same thing a few years ago and well, my mind has changed 100% on the issue since then. You can't really say how life changes will form your opinions later on until you actually go through them :shrug:

[Osprey]

lol you are aware not all Germans have blue eyes, right? And you are aware that not all Greeks are brown eyed..?

My post was misunderstood.
What i meant was, if you marry a brown eyed person then dont hope for a blue eyed baby.
Nothing personal against greeks

[Vixen]

Then it should not be a factor to desire in children too.
After all, you sow what you reap.

I just think it´s a physical characteristic that she likes in herself and would like to see in her children, it doesn´t mean she would not like her children to inherit their father´s eyes. Why would she be with him if she found his eyes unattractive and not worthy for her children to inherit? These are just lists of our good qualities, it doesn´t mean we find them superior to our partner´s.

[safinator]

My post was misunderstood.

Actually a blue eyed offspring is quite normal among blue eyed, brown eyed parents.
The Brown eyed parent only needs to carry the blue eyed gene (recessive)

[Hess]

It seems that most people would like to see lighter features passed down, which I find interesting.

That doesn't really make any sense. Your children aren't guaranteed to come out looking like you even if you marry your female/male carbon copy. Genetics are funny like that. Two blue eyed people can even produce a brown eyed child, for example. I would like my children to have my eye color because I think the shade and pattern are quite unique, but if they don't? So what, it's not going to make me feel or think any differently of them. :rolleyes:

[Midori]

Two blue eyed people can even produce a brown eyed child

That's impossible.

[Hess]

That's impossible.

It's not, I've seen it happen in my own family.

Highly unlikely? yes. Impossible? no.

[jerney]

That's impossible.

No it's not.


Most of us learned the model for determining eye color that G.C. Davenport and C.B. Davenport devised in 1907. The Davenport model wrongly says brown eye color is always dominant over blue eye color, which means that two blue-eyed parents always have blue-eyed kids. We know better now.

"Although not common, two blue-eyed parents can produce children with brown eyes," says Richard A. Sturm, a Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Eye color is a complex trait that depends on the state of several interacting genes. The gene that usually decides the issue (blue eyes or brown eyes) is the OCA2 gene on chromosome 15. But it comes in different strengths. A person with a weak form of the OCA2 gene will have blue eyes. Likewise a person with a strong form will have brown eyes.

The plot thickens, though, because an individual also has other eye-color genes that each has a say in the final eye-color outcome. For example, if one of these lesser genes is strong, it can make the weak form (blue) of OCA2 work much more effectively — almost like the strong form (brown). Then the eye color may be a light brown or muddy grey. In fact, the resulting color can be any shade of brown, hazel/green, or blue depending on the strengths of the interactions.

I know of a real life scenario, while not exactly the same, is somewhat similar. A friend has very light blue eyes, her husband has green eyes and their son has brown eyes. It happens.

Why?
If you love your hubby so much, why not let his eye color dominate?

[PetiteParisienne]

My baby son seems to have inherited all of the best of my and my husband's genes!

-large, almond-shaped blue eyes
-straight (but thick) ash blond hair
-milky pale skin with ruddy cheeks (definitely a little English rose!)
-straight, symmetrical nose
-doctors think he's going to be very tall

I'm hoping he will also inherit my husband's good eye-sight; mine is terrible!

[jerney]

Why?
If you love your hubby so much, why not let his eye color dominate?

Have you ever been in a relationship? You can love someone while still having your own preferences. I have a preference for my eye color. Marrying a blue eyed man would not have made a difference because *my* particular iris pattern and shade of blue is what I'd like to pass down, not someone elses

[jerney]

I'm hoping he will also inherit my husband's good eye-sight; mine is terrible!

That's another one for me. My eyes are utter shit :(

[Osprey]

Marrying a blue eyed man would not have made a difference because *my* particular iris pattern and shade of blue is what I'd like to pass down, not someone elses

'Your particular irish pattern and shade of blue' would have had better chance of being passed down with a blue eyed man.
Anyway, in that case you can go and fornicate with a black 'nice' guy. In the eighteenth or nineteenth offspring maybe your eye color can have a chance to come out. Why making it sound like 'See, I have married a greek not a nigger, so i have a high moral ground'

[Matilda]

want to pass: hair texture, light skin, body frame(if girl), Egyptian foot(if girl)
not to pass: my short height

[Vixen]

Are you actually comparing Greeks to negros? :eek:

[Osprey]

Are you actually comparing Greeks to negros? :eek:

No
Iam just comparing a full fledged liberal to a hypocritical preservationist.
Greeks are a good looking bunch, i'll give them that, but mating between ANY kind of inter subracial species is kinda offensive to me.
But, well, hey who cares what i have to say right?

[jerney]

'Your particular irish pattern and shade of blue' would have had better chance of being passed down with a blue eyed man.

According to who? You?

"Hmm let's see, I love you, we're compatible in every way and you offer everything I want in a person, but oh no, you don't have my eye color. Sorry, but I'm going to have to break it off :(" Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Why focus only on blue eyes instead of any of the other traits I've mentioned?

I don't even know what you're talking about. You seem to want to single out blue eyes like it's indicative of something. The only thing it seems to be indicative of is that you have a skewed view of both Germans and Greeks.

[Vixen]

Well, I think you have a right to your opinion and I will respect that right.
However...
I don´t think it´s hypocritical to want to preserve your European culture, race and values but not really care about subrace, after all Europeans of different ethnicities/subraces have been mixing since the concept of "Europe" even existed and this has never done any harm to us. The only threat to European racial and cultural integrity comes from mixing with non-Europeans and letting them immigrate en masse to our homelands.

[Mraz]

Not to pass : my eyebrows, they are thick, but anyway, it's always possible to do something about it.
To pass : my long eyelashes.

The Guy : Hmm, i hate my swarthiness. I like northern people so i will take one of their girls. So i will pretend that i like her character, (which i truly know that is not very good)
The Girl: Ohhh myy, he loves me! He is so caring. He loves me as a person!
The story with you and countless other women. If one tries hard enough, i can find a compatible person in one's own subracial line. (and that person will be one's true soulmate, imo)
But if one is determined to marry out, who can stop that?

[Duke]

I would like to pass, hair, teeth, height/build, eyes.

I would not like to pass, stubbornness, and impulsiveness

[Queen B]

I want them to have my eye-color and lips.
I d also like them to have my hair (not style, but how strong and rich my hair is)
Hands, ears, height.
If its a girl, my round ass and nice tits :lol:

I don't want them to have my ugly nose and my very slim legs and my bad quality teeth.

That's utter bullshit, actually . No offence.
Greeks are very stick-to-their-own kind actually. To bring a ''foreigner'' as a bride is not welcomed, no matter if she is German, Russian, or Japanese.

In order a man to decide to do that step,overcome all the critisism and negative reaction, he should be really in love with that girl.

I wouldn't want them to inherit my overly convex and hooked nose, as it looks stupid.

You're obsessed with your nose, fin.:p I'd rather have a slightly convex and hooked, aquiline nose than my snub nose.

[Breedingvariety]

I've met very convex nosed Lithuanians. And I don't want to have anything to do with them... These encounters have changed the image of convex nosed individuals up side down.

[Leliana]

I hope my son or my daughter receive:

-My smile :)
-My blonde hair and blue eyes
-My cheeky and goofy humour :cool:
-My candid stubbornness :fhmm:
-The pride for our people and culture
-My faith in Catholicism
-My loyalty to family and my sense for social justice and empathy

What my children shouldn't receive from me:

-My goddamn freckles! :stop00010:
-My thin lips
-My fine-boned body structure
-My temper tantrums when stressed
-My clumsiness :hrm00000:
-If I have a daughter my unfeminine waist, hips and my small-sized, uneven breasts :embarrassed
-My deficiency in remembering things
-My genetic predisposition for shortness of breath
-My sleeping disorder



I do hope that if I ever have a daughter (or even son) that have

My high cheekbones
My blue eyes
My light brown hair
Ehm, sounds like a problem when I look at the photos of your husband. :rolleyes: But good luck! :) I don't have anything against you but I can't relive your choice.

[Midori]

-My goddamn freckles! :stop00010:


:( I wish I had freckles.

[jerney]

His mother has extremely prominent cheekbones (even more so than mine) and two out of four grandparents have blue eyes and light hair, so there is actually quite a decent chance for everything I listed. :wink

If it doesn't happen it's also perfectly fine because I happen to be quite content and happy with my choice :coffee:

[Aces High]

I most likely would not have the time to raise kids, if I achieve my career goals.

Once you make it off the counter and onto the fryer in the back you will probably be less stressed and have more free time.

[Lena]

Want to pass:

- Love for sports
- Creativity and organization abilities

Not to pass:

- my skin...it's too sensitive (allergic to nickel, allergic to some insect bites etc.)
- the colour of my eyes...I hate the fact that I never was able to define their colour precisely.
- extreme stubbornest which is often damaging

[Aces High]

[CelticViking]

I would want my sons to be over 6'1(Because I'm tall) and I wouldn't want my children to get my eye sight haha because I need glasses sometimes when reading or watching films.

[SilverKnight]

My 10:

1. Intelligence.
2. Intelligence.
3. Intelligence again..

8. Good humor.
9. Perfect Balance between introversion and extroversion.

I am sure their mother lineage would dominate, my traits would be little to none.

Here what I like them to have

Honesty
Morals
Consistency
Love nature and hunating as well falconary
Honor their family

[Piparskeggr]

Only things I'd not want to pass on would be my congenital heart defect (a family trait), our family's propensity towards liver disease, arterial sclerosis and high blood pressure (in spite of healthy life lifestyle choices) and my inherited weakness for distilled spirits.

Otherwise, everything else seems OK, especially longevity in the face of the above defects.

[Osprey]

[Angus]

Things I wouldn't want

-Height. I'm not short by any strech, I'm right at the national average, but I'd like to see my children (particularly my son) surpass the average.

-My math skills, erhm, lack of math skills. :rant:

Things I'd like to pass on

-Pride in our culture and ancestors.

-Affinity with a Bow, or some other kind of weapon. Also, I dont mean those bloody compound bows :rolleyes:

my clear skin. She had horrible acne through her teen years and early adulthood....her skin is just now fully clearing up....

my son got
my nose
dad's blue-grey eyes
somewhat curlyish hair from paternal grandpa
incredible obstinancy from both of us
dad's ash blond tone
a certain gentleness and affection for smaller or more helpless creatures....from both of us

general athletic ability (both sides)

I wish she had gotten the following from me:
My hair...much thicker and more full of body than her dad's
my clear skin. She had horrible acne through her teen years and early adulthood....her skin is just now fully clearing up....

my son got
my nose
dad's blue-grey eyes
somewhat curlyish hair from paternal grandpa
incredible obstinancy from both of us
dad's ash blond tone
a certain gentleness and affection for smaller or more helpless creatures....from both of us
affectionate personality from dad....and mom (sometimes)

What I hope he gets:
dad's height (dad is 198 cm)
mom's brother's builds (they are all built like brick shithouses lol)
general athletic ability (both sides)
my skin

I thought you were with an Italian man?

I thought you were with an Italian man?

He's 25% Italian
25% Swedish
25% German
12.5% English
12.5% Irish

But his surname is Italian:thumb001: He identifies most strongly with his Italian roots, for some reason.....especially his taste in cuisine, lol

First and foremost I must pass on the obvious Mongoloid admixture in my eyes (as is evident from this high-angle shot):

I would like my children to have true blue ones, though.

My chinky eyes, my straight hair, my full lips. I wouldn't like my offspring to have my nose, nor my hands (they're too thick and not very long)

[ficuscarica]

I would want them to have...
- skin that tans easily
- straight nose
- long harmonous face
- robust body-frame
- fast gain of muscles

and not
- prognathism
- a bit too short nose
- hair that bleaches in the sun
- a bit too less body hair/beard hair

this is for a son of course... for a daughter I wouldn´t want a robust body-frame of a muscular body... :D

Character... if I stay as I am I better should never have children...

[exceeder]

Would want them to have:
-My eyes (green colour & almonde shape)
-My dark brown hair
-My patience
-General height (5"11)

I wouldnt want them:
-To have my body hair
-My anxiousness
-My procrastinating ways
