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 have like an academic understanding of what people are generally talking about in body-type attraction, but my own preferences are entirely based on face and manner so i've always been a bit out-of-sorts when people tried to talk about 'nice asses' or legs or whatever with me

I like conventionally attractive whatevers and this is also off putting to me like no sorry guy I don't want to talk about big butts and titties with you? what even is there to say?? yup i like me some booty, mhhmm. I tell you hwut

I remember one time I was hanging out with my friend's boyfriend and some shit came in the tv with women at a waterpark and he wouldn't shut up about them and it's like bro, gross, your gf is hotter shut up man (i had a huge crush on her sicko-wistful)

i swear these are hetero normative patriarchal performative norms that are only done because everyone has to impress the notion they are attracted to and objectify correct subjects
