user64891: Let's say I want to create a new electrum seed... I didn't like the initial seed words, since I want to remember them and these didn't look too appealing. Looking "too random" for my taste. When I repeat this process like 100 times, chances are that I like the combination then more, because it looks "less random" or "more logical to me" (looking like a short story being summarized) which is easier to remember.
Is doing this insecure? Do I increase my risk of randomly creating a not-so-random seed by redoing the seed creation until I get a seed that I like?

user48884: No, this does not reduce your security. You are not choosing a seed to use that is not random, you are still allowing the random number generator to create a seed for you which you then chose. There is still sufficient randomness in this process as the seed is still randomly generated.
