Yeah. It would seem my viewpoint on it was exploited by another user for their own bias to be confirmed.
Carry on. If you value personality over appearance as a defining factor good for you.

I will continue to hold judgement on that based on my experiences with others and to a degree, my own thinking, but carry on.

Well you're just as welcome to your opinion and preferences as anyone else. I'm sorry if my reply came across as rude, just trying to explain how it is for me. Obviously I cannot speak for you, or the people you've had experiences with, or anyone else.

With no disrespect to the people posting, either they have a low set of standards or they are trying to say what people think sounds nice. I as an asexual develop romantic feelings as a big draw but even a level of ejoying aesthetics exists with in me. This all just sounds like drivel to appease the masses of the forum.

I'm glad people have found partners that suit them, but let's not be coy. We would not pick someone we are unattracted to because we share the same opinion about politics or star wars.


I wouldn't say "low standards" so much as a practical world view that you are never going to find the perfect person, because they simply don't exist. With that in mind, I consider that I would much prefer to be with someone average looking who I feel safe and comfortable with than an as*hole with a nice body. It's called having priorities. Just because yours are different doesn't mean everyone else is incorrect. :wink:


IDK I think I have found the perfect person...you may not find what mainstream society envisions as the perfect person, but you can find the perfect person for you.
