Would you marry someone of a different race just to be able to produce pretty children

[Anonymous]

I HAVE noticed that two ugly people (by DC standards and otherwise) who procreate increase the odds of having a not so ugly kid if they are from different races.

I am a dark skinned Latina. I married a white man because I love him and because I wanted lighter skinned and in thus in my culture, prettier, children.

No guilt? I have noticed that dark Latinos can talk about this without guilt. African Americans generally try not to discuss this. Different culture. BTW there are LOTS of not so pretty people with fair skin.

I know, why do so many people think the lighter, the prettier? I happen to think dark skin, wavy hair and full lips are beautiful.

This sounds too much like a "baby factory" question. Producing good-looking kids does not require marriage.

If he did not have power and charisma, he would be one ugly MoFo. I would not look at him twice on the street....just a grown up goofy looking Urkel.

Kind of like the Bill Clinton thing, women throwing themselves and at that big headed bulbus nosed pin head just because he has some power.

I disagree. Obama could be the pool guy and I'd still want to fuck him. McCain is one ugly mofo by the way.

Agree. Obama is a thousand times hotter than Bill Clinton.

I tend to agree about Obama.

Oh, McCain may not be a looker now, but he was, about 35 years ago.

Which would you choose?

There seem to be many people out there today leaning towards the wonderful hybrids.

Yes. But the best dogs are always the muts, which I suppose also feeds into OP's premise.

mccain was crazy hot when he was in the military. have you seen those photos of him in uniform? granted, the pictures are always a little grainy, but he was good looking for sure. and, given that a lot of what makes him less good looking now is the result of the POW camps, i can't bring myself to say he's bad looking.

My cousin is dark skinned ( black woman) with long curly hair she's beautiful. Her mother since she was young has wanted her to marry a red headed white man, and have a fair skinned daughter named Paige LOL

I got an awesome looking kid from my non-white husband. Best thing he ever did for me.

LMFAO.

And all you darker skinned women out there don't think that getting your hands on some handsome white man means you'll automatically get light skinned babies.

I'm about as dark as Angela Bassett, while my husband is Italian with green eyes to die for. Our oldest looks so much like him, down to the eyes and pink skin, I just call him Little [DH]. Our second meanwhile looks just like me, except that he's around a Halle Berry. He'll probably be darker as he grows up; my mother says I was that light when I was his age so we'll see.

It's called "regression to the mean". Any two people of any extreme will produce a more average child. My brother and I are both taller than both our below-average-height parents, for example.

Then again, there's "hybrid vigor", which is the dog breeding analogy. The union will select the strongest traits of each genetic contribution.

Except, that's a myth WRT dogs. Sometimes you get the worst traits of each breed, rather than the best of even a mixture. For example I have a Puggle with the hip dysplasia and allergies and bad skin typical of a pug, AND the howling and tend toward obesity of a beagle (pug don't bellow). great, huh.

Kimora IS fugly. but damn if there aren't a lot of gorgeous euro-asian kids running around NW DC.
