Do attractive couples make attractive kids? No, not always. It's not entirely about what the parents look like, it mostly depends on genetics and the luck of the draw. If you look at super models, most of them have average looking parents.
Being physically attractive at age 7 increases the odds of having a daughter by 23% or decreases the odds of having a son by 19%. Similarly, net of the same control variables, being physically unattractive at age 7 decreases the odds of having a daughter by 20% or increases the odds of having a son by 25%.
Fertility. Next we assessed differences in the mean number of children between attractiveness groups at age 53–56 (table 3). Compared to the combined group of not attractive and moderately attractive women (average number of children=2.63), attractive and very attractive women had 16% and 6% more children, respectively ...
Being a beautiful baby did not predict who would become the best-looking adults, a new study found. Facial attractiveness is not stable from infancy into adulthood, suggests research published in the journal Infant Behavior & Development.
Multiple binary logistic regression analysis shows that being physically attractive statistically significantly increases the odds of having a daughter as the first child, net of sex, age at first child, education, social class, earnings, height, and weight.
This allowed the researchers to look at the genetic component of attractiveness. They found that attractiveness is hereditary, passed on from father to son. Previous research has shown that females that mate with attractive males do not produce more offspring than those mating with less desirable males.

Babies are drawn to attractive people
A baby may be staring at you because they think you're beautiful. We're not kidding! A decades-old experiment found that newborns and young infants spent more time staring at faces that adults deemed attractive.
In fact, the results of a recent survey published in Evolution and Human Behavior found that we don't find babies cute until three, or even six months of age. From there, babies remain at peak cuteness until around age four-and-a-half. Understandable right? That's when they're at their most chubby and dimpled.
It's their eyes, which are huge relative to their faces (eyeballs don't grow all that much after birth); their heads, which are too big for their bodies; their cheeks; and their tiny chins that get adults to fixate on them. Scientists say these traits activate an instinctual attention in adults.
“Similar to many other human traits, there is not a 'master gene' that determines a person's attractiveness,” Lu said in a statement. “Instead, it is most likely associated with a large number of genetic components with weak effects.”
Pretty women tend to be 'less stressed and more fertile', say scientists who say beauty isn't just skin deep. Attractive women are more than just a pretty face - they also have less of the hormone cortisol, which is associated with stress, a study shows.
A subsequent body of research, building over the years in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior, has delivered results in conflict with the 1995 paper, indicating that young children resemble both parents equally. Some studies have even found that newborns tend to resemble their mothers more than their fathers.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons conducted a poll to see when we reach peak attractiveness and apparently it's in your 30s for both men and women. Women are reportedly most attractive at age 30 while men reach peak attractiveness at age 38.
Women and men are considered to be at their most attractive in their thirties, a US survey of 2,000 people has found. The study, carried out by Allure magazine, found women are considered most beautiful at 30, show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking 'sexy' at 53 and are thought of as 'old' at 55.
Igor explained: "We see from the results that children and especially girls have more trust in attractive faces, even though there are no obvious reasons why people with more attractive faces would be more knowledgeable about object labels.
According to a recent survey of nearly 2,000 families, 40 percent of parents found their children to be the most lovable/fun at the age of 5. Meanwhile, they found kids to be the most difficult to spend time with between the ages of 10 and 12.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines child as, "A human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.” This is ratified by 192 of 194 member countries.
It's no wonder then that research finds that the hardest years of parenting are the tween, (or middle school if you're in the USA) years. They may be less physically exhausting than the early years, but emotionally they are so much more exhausting.

Naturally, babies tend to draw their attention to something attractive. It can be moving objects, high-contrast images, or even interesting features of an attractive person. Yes! Babies stare longer at attractive people.
Babies Are Attracted To Beauty
Because beautiful faces are easier for the brain to perceive. Researchers studying infants find that babies gaze at more symmetrical faces longer, and learn to recognize them faster.
New research suggests that our brain rewards us for looking at pretty faces. Few visual impressions can be compared to humans' interest for faces. New research suggests that our brain rewards us for looking at pretty faces. A quick glimpse of a face provides us with rich information about the person in front of us.
Turns out not all parents think their baby is the most beautiful human they've ever seen. Parents have an inherent predisposition to believe their children are absolutely beautiful.
Researchers found that 13.3 percent of the most attractive children were buckled while only 1.2 percent of children categorized as the least attractive were buckled. Researchers concluded that fathers were more likely to favor attractive children when buckling them into the basket.
Someone born to a father of 22 is already 5 – 10 per cent more attractive than those with a 40-year-old father and the difference grows with the age gap.” Researchers asked volunteers to rate the attractiveness of more than 8,000 men and women.
