      Is genetic predisposition really weird though?

      It’d be like saying it’s weird how many guys like wider hips, well formed asses, or boobs. Or how many women like tall men, buff guys, or strong facial features.

      It’s literally hardwired into us as animals to be attracted to attributes that correlate to improved natural selection & survival odds from millions of years of evolution (And in some cases caused interesting feedback loops for natural selection that have nothing to do with actual survive ability or genetic health).

      We don’t think about these things it’s “just the way it is”, you don’t necessarily know why you are attracted to something, it’s part of how you as a flesh and blood animal works.
