I've done all the breeding I intend to do in this lifetime.
But, really, people are not slaves to their impulses. If it bothers you to treat attractive people better than you do unattractive people then use your powers of observation and self-discipline and change it. I've done this willfully all of my life in response to all types of social impulses and it has shaped and enriched my life more than I can easily relate in a sentence or two. But you really can't underestimate the benefits of being able to relate effectively with just about anyone, regardless of language, cultural or superficial differences. It's something I've always striven for (is that right...striven?) and something I now realize is going to be very advantageous to me when I am a nurse.
So. yeah. don't like it? change.
