Culture

Things that I think are (largely) genetic and though alterable by culture to some extent, and can vary between individuals, but that are mostly just raw human nature:

That many/most women are attracted to taller men, and automatically reject shorter men without a second thought. I donโ€™t blame women for this because I think it is (largely) hard-coded, within certain cultural parameters.

That many/most men are most attracted to women 20-28 or so. I donโ€™t blame men for this because I think it is largely hard-coded โ€” again, within certain cultural parameters.

Trying to change these behaviors sans genetic editing will be like attempting to push against a planet. Just wonโ€™t work. Yeah, for each of these the other side will tell you how shitty and horrible and wrong the other side is, but they literally cannot help it. Pathologizing these behaviors wonโ€™t help. Of course, women will tell you how being attracted to only tall guys is โ€œdifferent,โ€ and men will tell you how itโ€™s also โ€œdifferent,โ€ but thatโ€™s post hoc rationalizing for an inbuilt imperative. Donโ€™t believe a word of that from either side.
