I got to wondering.
Could genes determine things beyond what gender we find attractive, down to things such as skinny or plump, blonde or brunette, hair up or hair back, all sorts of different things. How much of our life is determined by our genes?
I would say genes affect physical things, like body type and brain chemistry. Attraction seems to be more a reaction to what society says, whether the reaction is to conform or rebel.
But ahh, whatever, it's not like knowing would change how we act..or would it??
