We all know what we like in the opposite sex. (Well you should at this point I assume). I’ve discovered at least 90% of the physical and personality traits that I find attractive. I feel confident in saying that these preferences were not influenced by social constructs, the media, or outside influence. If I saw something I liked, quite naturally I’d seek something similar in the future. Easy enough right? Wrong.
I’ve been told more than a few times that my preferences need to be reevaluated. Here’s why. I “politely” demand that the object of my affections be spiritual, loving, ambitious, stable, intelligent, AND attractive. That last one is what ruffles the feathers.
I have yet to understand this. What good is all that other stuff if I don’t wanna lay down and do some fruitful multiplication with you? I can’t change what I’m attracted to. It’s not like my preferences are based off someone else’s standards or that they are ridiculously high. Where am I wrong here?
In their defense, I knew of this one guy who was ONLY attracted to females with light skin and “good” long hair. To that guy: I feel so sorry that you subscribe to only ONE standard of beauty. It’s shameful IMO. Now, in MY defense, beauty comes in many shades and hair textures and heights and I acknowledge them ALL (especially tall, brownskin with locs, ow! ow!).
So again I ask where am I wrong here? Can you date/marry someone who is not necessarily physically attractive? What are you attracted to?
