I have a question

[Spuffy]

Sure. You're technically correct. The post is mainly about genetic attractiveness, and I don't feel like that's effected by fertility or egg quality. A deformed baby will effect it's attractiveness, but I would not say that a young mother increases the likelihood of the baby being attractive.

The best way I can describe it is this: it's normal to expect an older phone to eventually have defects/issues when trying to use it. It's an older phone, and it doesn't work like it's used to. It's not normal to assume the phone will dramatically change it's color just because it's older. The age of the phone does not effect it's color; it was manufactured to be a certain color and it will remain that certain color forever. No matter when you bought it, it will be that color, because it was done so in the manufacturing.

In this case, the phone is the mother, the color is the genetic code of the the future baby's appearance, and the manufacturing is the genetic code of both of the parents.

Technically, anything can effect someone's appearance. It's not how I would interpret this question though.

yeah youre right. given maternal age's inconsistent, small, or null effects on attractiveness, there is no basis to claim that a child born to a young mother will be better looking than one born to an old one. Other factors like genetics, nutrition, health, and social environment play far larger roles in determining attractiveness. (obviously)

I mean the analogy doesn't exactly fit cause genes can still mutate, but I get what ur saying

but the recommendation would still be same, even if younger doesn't necessarily mean more attractive, it's just about minimizing factors that could detract from looks

It's not a good analogy for a lot of reasons, but if you mean somatic mutations, I would consider that the equivalent of dropping your phone. They're not normally passed down genetically so it's an individual flaw of the phone, and not the color itself.

The recommendation I would have (personally) is to pick a good sperm donor. After a certain point in a woman's age, her giving birth doesn't make sense. Obviously, you don't want to cause your child to be born with deformities for no reason. It's a humanity issue at that point, not an aesthetic one. It's cruel to willingly do that to a child, just in general.
