Blue Eyes is a Handicap

[b etor]

I like my brown eyes, but I am more attracted to people with blue or green eyes. All my bfs and gf had blue or green eyes now that I think about it... But the one night things are usually with brown eyed people... or I just don't remember and assume they were brown.

This is how the Nazis started

I am sorry it took me so long to respond, I was busy fighting off dozens of Czech girls climbing over my 6'6'' of brown skin, trying to reach my grey-blue gems.

Also, I didn't know homosexuality was allowed in the FBI. Hey, B Etor, how old do you claim to be these days, anyway?

Az, I'm 20, thank you very much.

Yep, she's been legal for two years now.

4 in PA also. Not that that restriction stopped me before then.

Pedofiles !

Cool. Post tits.

It's interesting that blue/green eyes generally lose against brown ones in interbreeding: the child will most probably be dark-eyed. So the nature makes its choice. I wonder if there is any deeper reason behind that.

Its 50/50 with a blue/green eyed parent on one end and a brown eyed parent on the other, I think.

My eyes are still baby blue (dark hair-- thats getting lighter now with the grey LOL).

I never really thought of blue eyes as superior or anything but it was the thing I was complimented on the most. I dated girls with all different color eyes. I recall a coupkle with striking light eyes but often other body/facial features were a more overriding criteria when selecting dating partners

No I thought it follows the classic recessive pattern.

B is dominant (brown)
b is recessive (blue)

BB and Bb produce brown phenotype
bb produces blue phenotype

Parent A: bb Parent B: BB
Bb Bb Bb Bb
All children have brown eyes

Parent A: Bb Parent B: BB
BB BB Bb Bb
All children have brown eys

Parent A: bb Parent B: Bb
Bb Bb bb bb
Half the children have brown eyes; half have blue eyes.

Parent A: Bb Parent B: Bb
BB Bb Bb bb
Three children have brown eyes; one child has blue eyes.



It's only 50/50 if one parent is blue-eyed and the brown-eyed parent has a blue-eyed ancestor themselves (they carry a recessive gene from a blue-eyed parent or from a brown-eyed parent who carries the gene [Bb]); If the brown-eyed parent does not have that gene then the combination of a blue-eyed parent and a brown-eyed parent results in all children having brown eyes; two brown-eyed parents can, if they both possess the gene, produce a blue-eyed child 25% of the time, however.

My dad has blue eyes, my mom has brown eyes. I have blue eyes, so does my brother.

[Al B. Sure!]

I do have a gut feeling my breakdown is just the pop science they teach in 7th grade science class and might not be actually accurate. Maybe someone more well-versed can elaborate.

And I thought I color-coded the brown eyed genotypes brown but I can't tell if that's brown or dark green to be honest. My color deficiency is showing.

[Al B. Sure!]

My dad has blue eyes, my mom has brown eyes. I have blue eyes, so does my brother.

Your mom has a blue-eyed ancestor. Her genotype would be Bb; she manifests the brown-eyed phenotype but carries blue genes. Like I said, 50% chance each child will have blue eyes in that case.

As long as we're talking about genetics a new study shows that westerners are "programmed" to seek fat and alcohol more then other people.
