I don't care which they as long as they don't exist. I fucking hate children and there are not a lot of things that would change that mindset.
Having your own springs immediately to mind.
That does not sound appealing to me. It actually kinda revolts me.

Sadly enough, it's not just self esteem or their romantic lives that'll be helped by them being attractive, it'll make people like them upon meeting them more easily (again, so long as they've been brought up not to be cocky about their looks) and even improve their ability to get jobs, there's no good enough reason to not prefer them to be attractive.
I agree, society hasn't yet woken up to the fact that whatever it happens to consider attractive may not be whatever it happens to consider good.

Attractive i guess, nobody wants to be ugly. As a parent i wouldn't really care, but unfortunately in life looks do matter, at least it might make some things easier.

Well, duh, attractive.

From what I can tell you're asking "would you like your kids to be wonderful people and good-looking, or all that but ugly?". Not much of a difficult choice.

Yeah NOW it does. I'm at the age where a lot of my friends are having kids. A lot of them said the same thing till their little bundles of joy came along. Or until their pale, writhing larvae squirmed from their mother's nether regions. Whichever disgusts you more. That's besides the point though. Fact of the matter is nature has some very complex systems in place for making you give a shit. You'd be surprised how quickly such deeply held beliefs can change. But no matter what some people just aren't the child-rearing type and choose to never have kids. And that's fine too.

Well, it depends on their personality.
If both people are exactly the same in terms of personality, then we're all going to pick the first option.

EDIT: Ohshit, I totally misinterpreted the post. Although the same thing still applies, parents shouldn't really care about how attractive their kids are, as long as they're good kids.

Hell, yeah! *smirk*

When and if I have kids, I'm going to want them to be the best human beings they can be. Obviously, being born with good looks would give them a jump start on that. And I'm not going to wish an ugly visage on my offspring. That would be mean.

For me, in any case: kids, romantic relationships, friends etc. personality has always mattered more than physical appearance. I'm not saying that I mind if they look good or bad, just there's way more to a person than what they look like

I have body dysmorphia [or actual ugliness. It's a real head-scratcher], and I wouldn't wish it anybody else. The truly good-looking have it better.

Niether, I want average kids who grow up to do extraordanary things. Fuck attraction, It fades when you DIE.

Your looks don't really matter, who you are does.

Well yeah, you're going to raise them the same way either way. If you're going to raise wonderful people, you're going to do it whether or not they're attractive.

The reason I asked is because there are different sets of pressures that come with being unattractive and attractive.

E.g: Unattractive could mean overweight, and you would have to discipline your child no matter how much he cries he just can't eat them cheaps.

Attractive could mean incredibly good looking (no really?), and that could cause your son to run into problems with girls and pregnancies.

I don't ever plan on having kids, but if I did have children, it really wouldn't concern me any how attractive they'd turn out.
