People have been sharing what they’ve been genetically blessed with? – 17 biological advantages to turn the rest of us green with envy
Everyone has their pros and cons, and when it comes to the body these buffs can seem more obvious.
This prompted English_R0se to ask the good folks at r/AskReddit to share what they’ve been genetically blessed with, and they even got the ball rolling with their own suggestion:
‘Watching a TikTok of someone complaining about their wisdom tooth pain made me realise that at 30 I’ve always had perfect teeth and never had any pain, have all 4 wisdom teeth that grew in perfectly fine. Never had toothaches. Consistently get told by my dentist that I have the cleanest and straightest teeth she’s ever seen. I’ve never had braces. Also get complimented how white and perfect my teeth are – never had whitening and drink tons of coffee. I’ve never had a cavity.
On the flip side, my eyesight is quite poor, very short sighted and I need to wear glasses and contacts every day but it’s not that bad.
Curious to hear yours :)’

‘I’m good at public speaking. Always did the best presentations at school, have done a lot of Best Man’s speeches, my own wedding speech, and several toasts for people, and it’s always been exciting and fun. I can make people laugh, make people cry, and I’m good at making my voice carry across a room.
‘I once went to a local business networking event (at 7am) and had to do a completely unplanned and impromptu speech in front of 50 strangers. And I loved every second of it.
‘But I’m also a pale, specky git, of average height and with a fairly rubbish bench press. So being good at words was really my only chance at procreating. The genetic gods giveth and the genetic gods taketh away.’

‘Good hearing. People are always complaining that they can’t hear other people when they talk from other rooms, can’t hear them when they mumble and can’t hear the dialogue on the TV.
‘I do not encounter these problems. Those mosquito machines are a bit annoying, I am way over 25 and can still hear them.’

‘According to one of the DNA testing sites my Dad and I both have super aging genes. My Dad is insanely healthy, mentally competent and is nearly 80. His Mum was like that until 98.
‘Problem is my pension is shit and I won’t be inheriting anything until I’m like 75, if Dad lives as long as his Mum. My Dad thinks this is hilarious LOL!’
