The hottest girl I know is dating a fat dude who makes a lot less money than she does. I also know a dude who for years thought he was unattractive and resented girls, until he got recruited to be a professional model. Most of what we think we know about attraction is wrong.

That's just one girl, dude. Human beings are different.

probably the majority of women tho, i mean look at the plotlines of the most popular romantic/erotic fiction among women

Putting that aside for a moment, here's an interesting question: Is it important to you that your own sexual desires be in some sense "normal" or mainstream?

like... me, specifically? probably both yes and no; i 'want' more mainstreamness cause it would be easier to find partners, 'no' in that i feel a strong acceptance/no shame of non-mainstream sexuality

So if you discovered that there are lots of girls for whom the above description of "what girls want" basically didn't hold at all, that wouldn't bother you?

no? the framing of my beliefs as motivated here by not wanting to be unusual is weird. I also *do* believe lots of girls are different from me re: mate selection strategies, I just also think the majority aren't.
