The genetics of love

**Mortimer** · 02-16-2023, 05:27 AM

Some new theories appeared in the scientific communities, that genetics play a huge role in attraction, personality, and dating prospects. I think some DNA dating agencies exist now, who match you against a database of others, who all did a DNA test.

1.How true do you think that is and how well understood is the genetics behind attraction, dating and personality?

2.How "race" or "ethnicity" fits into that, and even if it would, how well would it be accepted by the mainstream because of political correctnes? I guess they will say it has nothing to do with race or even that interracial is healthier? The link to the article I gave shows one interracial couple, right? What would you make out of it, because if i think of DNA matches, I would first think of or expect that people of the same "race" or ethnicity were to be matched?

Genetic determinism is ultimate law when it comes to everything, not just dating.

Those who claim that they achieved stuff with hard work were in the first place genetically predetermined to possess certain mental capacities that enabled them to do so in favorable outside environment, but they're so egoistic to admit that which would mean that their sense of self didn't achieve anything. Only genetics and environment in interaction with each other can take credits.

I think when it comes to dating and attraction its mostly a matter of type
both the physical type as well as the character.

The physical type is definitly determined by genetics and the character to a certain extend but not solely.

But true love is something else, isn't it.

They actually did, hard work is essential for success, even if you are intelligent or not, you need hard work. But do you think or say hard work is genetic too? That could be.

I think its mostly determined socially, but their maybe could be an argument with pheromones or something. Attraction to race that is.

But I dont think most people who have an Attraction to people about race aren't thinking about how they smell like. They probably think about observable traits with eyes. And maybe some stereotypes they have in their mind about others of races.

They show A) Interracial couples B) Gay couples and C) Interracial Gay couples when they talk about "genetics of love" so I assume it wouldnt be a "white nationalist thing" or even "a racialist thing" (of any race because a black man can say that a black man should marry a black woman, i know blacks who do say that). Even if they match you by genetics, how they would know that you are for example gay? Would they know by your genome that you are gay and match you with gays?

They did nothing. It was just their genes in combination with environmental factors that did all the work.

Even our basic desires and everything what drives us to do stuff in life are just preprogrammed biological mechanisms that we're born with, so free will is just illusion.

Outside inanimate world is also causal and ruled by static laws of nature which means that entire existence is fully predetermined.

For example women don't like bad looking men, because subconscious mind is programmed to decode some physical features and certain behavior as weak and unintelligent hence not desirable for potential future offspring that will have to fight challenges of harsh conditions of nature in order to survive.

There's no theology that can deny those truths. All customs, traditions and church songs are just cope and often last hope in despair.

Off course there's case of hot model looking girl that married disabled man with muscular dystrophia, but she even told once that she was sexually harassed when she was a teen, so trauma subconsciously made decision for her to choose weak man that can't harm her at all.

If people have no free will how could they be responsible for what they do? The thing is people have a high evolved conscious and are more then just their "drives" or "instincts" even if you have a natural inborn "drive" for something you can still choose not do so, by free will.
