This veers into the leftist idea of "the less fortunate" if you take it to it's conclusion.
If the claim is that genetics is the majority determiner of value and that nothing else matters, then it acts to discourage self improvement on both sides. Why should someone try to improve themselves if they have already won/lost?
This is dangerous because genetics are not an accident. The circumstances of your birth are a combination of factors, choices made not just by your immediate parents but by your ancestors going back centuries. Regardless of whether it's a good hand your family dealt you or not your existence is not a matter of random chance. And it's almost disconcertingly nihilistic and envious for anyone to assert that they would rather be dead than rich, or be dead than pretty. I've heard both statements in fact, from people who would almost certainly beg for their lives if someone leveled a weapon at their heads.
But the thing is, and I say this as one of the "attractive" people... lots of people in that group work our asses off too. I grew up poor. Repairing your own shoes poor. Hunting for meat poor. I earned what I have, and while I personally think the whole "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" thing is horseshit, in a lot if not most cases, people earn what they have in life by that age. Sure, my genetics resulted in being tall and attractive. One of my brothers is tall and an absolute gargoyle. And he's a puling leftist funny enough.
Genetics are not everything and you're still allowed to make choices to improve yourself.
The issue here is not as much with men's choices however, but with the hypergamy centric society that was engineered by the same hostile cabal of foreigners that has flooded us with third world invaders. The same system that was built wholesale around the previous few generations while they got drunk off credit cards, medications, Disney movies and rampant promiscuity.
Older civilizations didn't have this problem. There were women to go around. And it's a question we should ask ourselves, why? What did they do, say, and believe differently and how do we get back to what worked?
The problem comes when plummeting into full blown determinism. the idea that your choices don't matter, won't effect anything so why bother. It's basically the inevitable outcome of socialism, just not economically.
Being hyper focused on genetics as the sole determiner is just flipping Lysenkoism on it's head and declaring it to be true.
My point is that I'm not trying to tell anyone that they can wish themselves taller. Frankly, being short is essentially a disability for men and that is no lie. Genetics matter, and just like with economics some people are better off than others. Inequality is a fact of life and it is not inherently wrong either. Some people have more money than I did growing up, because of a combination of choices their ancestors made. That doesn't mean I shouldn't try, and lo and behold I am wealthy now, I want for nothing and I have no monetary insecurities.
I'm not suggesting any particular course of action, but I am saying that there is a wrong one.
Nihilism has no good future, either for individuals or society.

I don't necessarily disagree with much of that.
