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.

I don't think it's weird, maybe a bit atypical, but not super rare.

I think most people can relate to some degree. My preferences fit pretty well inside conventional attractiveness, but there's still occasionally supposedly super hot people that I just don't... get.
