Some people have been giving the former protagonist of TV show The Bachelor a hard time because of comments reported in a recent issue of Woman's Day.
Considering the prospect of having children of his own, Art Green realised this would require access to a willing womb and bore certain ramifications.
"This meant not only thinking about who I liked and had a connection with," he mused, "but also if they had similar family aspirations. I would often think about whether or not we would have good-looking kids, because obviously nobody wants ugly kids."
Bear in mind Art, who is a personal trainer and chief operating officer of Clean Paleo, a producer of products for enthusiasts of the fashionable prehistoric eating plan, voluntarily appeared on a television show in which he was confronted with a group of single women he did not know and, by a process of elimination, had to choose one as his potential life partner.
So it's a bit rich for anyone to criticise him if he appears to be somewhat superficial in his views on anything, up to and including parenthood. Naturally, someone who is open to the prospect of a courtship taking place before a national television audience is possibly going to prioritise appearance over such qualities as intelligence, generosity, kindness, courage, honesty and good health.
