That would appear to be true - I adopted 5 14-year olds and they are now 43. I've only permitted one of the males, who happens to be a runner, to have offspring. Not one of 12 ofspring likes running.
With another village, I started with 5 runners age 31 or younger. Two of the women died, only one of whom reproduced, leaving me with two men (now age 45 and 50) and one woman (age 31). They've had 5 offspring and none like running.

I've had peeps who dislike fish and have run away when I've told them to go fishing, in a few VV games. And of course, the adults who like running and the kids who dislike running are always easy to spot!

But it's just occurred to me that I am torturing someone in VV4. I'm trying to get the population up to a certain amount of people at the moment, but only have one fertile male for the time being. He already has 3 or 4 children, and once I have my next hut build he will be getting a few more.

Then I looked at his dislikes, and what doesn't he like? Children. (whoops...)

Wahoo! After playing this village for a month and a half I finally have a runner for likes. The first one I had was a 6 year old when I first set up the village and he departed awhile back.

I have a woman who dislikes fish and she runs away every time she is near the fish tank or the pool.

I hate it when some one who dislikes running. I have had 4 villagers who have and 3 of them were triplets! Imagine my disappointment to discover my first set of triplets were run-aphobes!

Also, I think its funny when someone dislikes "red" and are wearing red clothes. I always change their clothing for them. lol.

i have a little girl whos dislike is eating?!?! LOL

Man, LDW is becoming smarter and smarter with these likes/dislikes!

Fish=yummy

In one of my most recent tribes I had a villager, Sally, who disliked fire. I only noticed that after she had ran away in fear 2 times or so aftr I tried to make her light the fire. :P Oddly enough, she never had any problem making cutting tools, she would take the fish bones to the fire and then the newly-made tools to the lab without the slightest hesitation.
In the same tribe, I also have a villager named Kenji, who dislikes swimming. After a while, I decided it would be best to have him reach master level in farming just via berries and fruit.
