      There are way more chromasomal schemes and also I think body hair and breast size should be scrapped

        Because the bottom bar breaks vertical alignment with the other bars

          …Ah! I just understood. Thanks.

          Its so …unusual that they would do that. Why would they do that anyways?

            I think each end of the normal-sized bars is calibrated to be the median for female/male traits respectively, so “all fine” would be abnormally feminine even compared to most women? Or they just messed up the formatting

              Well they probably u should have added a warning that ‘it was abnormal for even a woman to be all fine and therefore we NEED to extend the bar to abnomal lengths’
