Another example of a gene that you might like is that since chromosomes come in pairs you can get a 5050 effect from each pair and coincidentally the likeliest "gay gene" for gay men specifically is found on the X chromosome. The same gene is claimed to make women "more fertile" which seems like a polite way to say they want more sex from men. The gene isn't eliminated by natural selection because it creates a quantity vs quality effect for children. Only one of the mother's X chromosomes passes down to sons so they only have a 50% chance to get that male attracted gene which also needs to compete with the rest of your unknown attraction genes. The downside is counteracted by many more daughters being born and many more sons that only might be same sex attracted.
