I mean 'instinctive' as in 'initial' or 'automatic.' The empathy you get by taking time to think about the person's life as unattractive doesn't count.

If you instinctively dislike them though, they aren't attractive to you, since they do not attract you. So I guess you're going with some variant on the "common shared attractiveness definition most widely accepted in western society"?

Hm. Can I ask you, too, if you read attractive as "attractive to me" (seems unlikely?) or "generally considered attractive"? Because I can't really imagine being attracted to someone, yet not giving a shit about them o.O

I see polls like this more informative about the honesty if the respondents rather than the answer to the question.

That is about the only way that my answer might not be a mistake, since it appears I'm the only one here who sees attractiveness as something that doesn't exist without some degree of empathy and hence picked #1.

Instinctively, I have to admit I would feel more sympathetic to particularly attractive people than average looking ones, though I can overcome that if I stop and think about it, but I don't know that I would feel less sympathetic to particularly unattractive people.

Yay, problem number four: you just made me realize: less empathy than for whom? For someone very attractive? For the average person? Oh well.

I have lower amount of instinctive empathy for people who are louder than they should be
