re: Should sexual orientation be engineered in the womb?

But peoples physical traits also change over time. So if your attracted to a certain body style and say your woman gains weight are you still attracted to her?

Her physical appearance does not change in your brain. IE, if you marry a pretty girl when you are 25 and you stay married for 40 years and see her every day her appearance does not change to you.

This is why women need to be careful about divorcing in middle age. Your husband may have been attracted to you when you were 25 and when you are 35 he still sees you as a 25 year old.
But when you divorce and look for a new husband he does not see you as the 25 year old. He sees you as the 35 year old.

Of course, there are exceptions. Like if your wife puts on 50 pounds in a 3 year period. But facial changes are not seen by people who live together every day.

IRL example. My first wife was with me from age 20 to 40. At age 40 she looked exactly like she did at age 20 to me. Then we got divorced. I saw her 3 years later at a family wedding. At 43 I was shocked to see that she looked like an old hag.

This is why you see 80 year old married couples holding hands and looking lovingly at each other. They have never changed appearances in their mind's eye because they see each other every day.
