Better looks correlates with both of those, actually, and this seems to trigger uncontrollable rage in the autistic dysgenics who like to believe nature is an RPG with balanced character stats.

no it doesn’t slavs look good, but are pork brained retards. Nature is an rpg with character stats. None the which the npcs know about.

>slavs look good
W-what?
They aren't pork-brianed tho, it's just their culture leading them to avoid nerdism because "that's gay".

Being brainwashed by culture instead of overcoming it and becoming a proper individual who decides how to act for oneself is like the epitome of unintelligence. Not that I would say the average Slav is any less intelligent than any other average person though. But culture doesn't really affect the intelligent.

Generally "good" looks involve certain types of symmetry and physical trait alignment that are indicative of genes with qualities that are conductive to the survival of offspring. Asymmetries can be indicative of genetic defects or in and of themselves be evidence of defects, so it's not just that symmetry and trait alignment per se are desirable, it's also that they are evidence of the absence of certain genetic defects, or the potential for genetic defects.

So in principle yes, good looks ≈ good genetics. But, human perceptions of what are "good looks" are so warped by cultural conditioning (both engineered and emergent) that it's very difficult to measure or quantify nowadays.

Actually the two are completely unrelated. The only correlation which exist is the "appearance" of beauty.

People generally have good genetics but are held down by chemicals like mercury, PUFAs, phthalates, perchlorates, aluminum, fluoride, bromine, chlorine, cadmium, lead, etc. and is often mistaken for bad genetics.

>> No.14509666

>>14506447
Yeah, that's generally why a concept of looking good even exists to begin with. It's the human equivalent of comparing different quality / age / condition in produce.

You can look good but still be unfortunate enough to get cancer at 30, so no
