    Question what do you look for in the opposite sex?

    This caught my attention. So I'll ask the questions. Is sexual attraction really hardwired then? Or is it merely constructed via association? Both 'hardwiring' and 'growing up with it' can contribute to someone marrying an abusive/brutish spouse. While even siblings can have very different...

    Question what do you look for in the opposite sex?

    Ethnicity/culture – Is first. Even as a teenager I didn’t have any interest in boys, later men, who weren’t Jewish (Ashkenazi), Italian or a type of French. Or whose ancestry consisted mainly of such ancestry. Intelligence – being rather intelligent myself I have always sought that. One can...

    Debate How important is it for you to live in a nice house/neighbourhood ?

    There was an old rundown house here. Monsterous, huge bay windows, gables, etc. Old Victorian-Gothic style. In its heyday, it would have been striking. The owners, being elderly, hadn't just fallen on hard times but due to their age could certainly not maintain it properly. It was sold &...

    With what ancient ethnicity do you most identify, and what has DNA told you ?

    Who do you identify as your ancestors? Interesting question. I am, for the record, essentially half British/Scottish [some Irish] and half French/German. One side has Italian/Sicilian ancestry and the other Ashkenazi ancestry. Now you’d certainly think I’d relate to Celts, Anglo-Saxons...

    To what extent did south-west England contribute to the settlement of America?

    People like Newfoundlanders have a rather obvious western connection via their accents, the dialectical terms they use, etc. In fact, some of the old "original" Newfoundland dialects [the one you may still find the old timers using or among the people from the smaller towns] have been compared...

    Country of your future.

    The first option was Thailand. The second option was Japan. The third option was the Philippines. Ironically, I happen to quite like East & Southeast Asia. It is a region that has held my interest since I was a kid. I've been to all three countries a few times having been invited to visit...

    Causes of group violence in British males ?

    Given as British are composed of Continental ancestry [Vikings, Anglos, Huguenots, migrants, etc.] it can’t quite be the inability to digest alcohol properly. Nor is there a widespread prohibition in England or countries of British background [America, Canada, etc.]. If we were talking Asian...

    Question what do you look for in the opposite sex?

    But are sexual preferences really hardwired or merely constructed by association then? Can hardwiring explain bi-racial couples for example? Or why siblings, of the same parents and raised in the same household, can’t quite agree on their 'type' [/preference] for sexual partners?

    Username changes???

    Is it possible to change usernames? I have not posted that often thus my username isn't widely known as yet. Thanks

    What's your experience of customer service with DNA testing companies?

    Good enough for basic information. But then I don't expect much from customer service cogs-in-the-wheel because I ask hard questions. The sort of questions that come with having a well-researched family tree as well as a background in world history, science, and statistics. As such I track...

    Haplogroups of European kings and queens

    There's someone on another forum saying that their ancestor is the illegitimate child of some nobility. Their claim to fame is the fact said nobility was a bit odd & supposedly had numerous out-of-marriage children. Can they verify their claims, like how one can grab an eel in oily water. My...

    Classify Me

    I see a generic northwestern European who can pass in most of the western countries and even, to degree, in some of the northern "southern" regions such as, as mentioned by Angela, northern Italy. However, ironically, someone mentioned you are a "Pan-European". You aren't. You would fit better...
