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 like malnourished bodies or plastic-looking perfectly smooth skin or fake tans or square jaws or wide upside-down triangle-shaped torsos with way too many abs, so most TV people are not my type. whether muscular or thin or whatever else, people should not look like vacuum-sealed skeletons or dehydrated packets of lumps. i don't know if i have any particular and exclusive 'types' but 'Anorexic Supermodel' and 'Action Movie Meathead Guy' would definitely not be mine.
