Is it weird that what most people consider attractive and what I consider attractive are usually completely different. (hexbear.net)

[CW: is this body shaming? I'm not sure.]

I genuinely find "conventionally attractive" people (like celebrities), well, kind of ugly IMO.

This is particularly evident when you look at game mods where people can create what they consider to be the most attractive characters their imagination allows. I find most of them grotesque even. Exaggerated forms.

Che Guevara though, Che Guevara was hot. So maybe I like some conventionally attractive looks. But you know what I mean. I don't like muscle men or hyper feminine women. I prefer androgyny almost.

Anyway, just a weird shower thought.

Not unusual to find people attractive based on your own level of exposure. So if you're not constantly exposed to celebrity media, you're unlikely to find the exaggerated proportions of celebrities as appealing as features of close family and friends.

Che Guevara though, Che Guevara was hot.

Young people are regularly hot. That's not a surprise.
