I personally have an exceedingly hard time believing the sheer numbers of people that seem to get into these relationships to produce the massive swathes of half-elves that exist in every setting.As I said... the one isolated Elf out of hundreds of thousands who take the plunge and willingly dive into this kind of relationship with a Human that is going to end in heartbreak several times over just due to the passage of time?  Fine.  I'm right there with you.  But to have hundreds of thousand of elves forsake other elves to marry and have children with all these short-lived humans in the massive quantities we see in all these D&D worlds where half-elves are like the third or fourth most populace species in the land?  Nope.  I don't buy it.But if others do... that's cool.  People can accept and go along with whatever they want, and my opinion has no impact on that.</blockquote>
