Do Cute Kids Justify Procreation?

Why do people suggest that attractive couples with attractive kids should keep trying for a girl if there are only boys in the family? Do unattractive couples get the same advice?

My wife and I are asked “are you going to try for a girl” several times a week as the same stranger rubs one of our boys’ heads. “They are so handsome. You should go on and do it.”

Of course I’m thinking “we practice all the time but not really ready to play the big game yet.”

But sometimes I wonder if couples with not so attractive kids get asked the same question.  I know you are probably thinking that’s wrong but it’s what I think about.

Do you know of any unattractive couples that get ask  the question, “ Hey are you guys going to try for girl?” Or, do people look at an unattractive couple with unattractive kids and think “Hey guys you are great parents you ever thought about adopting instead of having another?”

I have always wondered why unattractive couples have more kids than attractive couples.   Have you?  The next time you see an unattractive couple with kids say, “Hey you guys should try for a girl.” I wonder what they will say.

This is from my perspective. What do you think?
