To me, guys are guys, ugly attractive whatever. If you have that 'special something' that puts you in a slightly different category than another guy, then that's what i get attracted to. This can be anything from having a musical talent, athletic ability, ability to listen better than the average guy.... pretty much anything but not quite everything. Does this make sense? Probably not  |
Actually, it makes complete sense, and it leads into another question I was going to ask: what makes someone cute, beautiful, pretty, etc?
Observation: when you look at art through the dark ages, you see that the female ideal was more heavy set than it is today. Why is that?
Warning: Another one of my theories to follow.
Back in the Dark Ages, everyone was skinny. Between the plague, disease, pestilence, wars, and a general lack of food, everyone was pretty skinny. The woman who "had some meat on her bones", to try and put it lightly, was the one who was seen as attractive.
I'm sure part of it was that she was healthy enough to bear children. But if that were the only reason, then why do I find Jennifer Aniston so freaking hot? She has far from "child bearing hips".
How about this: people are attracted to something a little different. Something that stands out.
Back in the day, it was someone healthy. Nowadays with junk food, fast food, soda, etc, it's the skinny one who stands out visually.
For you, that may be an artistic, athletic, or interpersonal talent.
For me, it's Australian accents. It started with Olivia Newton John and hasn't stopped yet.
I guess it's the old adage: variety is the spice of life. People like variety.
