      It must be very lonely & demoralising if nobody finds you attractive. I'm not sure what can be done about it tho.

      Friends can offer moral support & remind you of your worth as a human being but no amount of allyship can produce genuine attraction.

      Even if your lack of potential partners is due to an identity that suffers unfair discrimination,it doesn't make the lack of partners unjust

      I just don't think you can apply equality & inclusion goals to dating. This is an area where everyone is allowed to be discriminating.

          Attraction more biological than cultural (probably). Too much inferred from Rubenesque models. Contemporaries used less robust females.

          Yes. Plump women were attractive when malnutrition and being underweight was common. Showed fertility.

          Possibly, but I don't think the Greeks ever pushed plumpness as an ideal. They must have gone through many periods of food shortages.

          Yeah, and even if it wasn't, I'd bet almost all relationships built on a lack of raw attraction would fail.

          Relationships are hard enough when you're deeply attracted to each other.

          You can in the macro (having non-white individuals in heart-throb movie roles, for example), but after that, ppl get to do as they please

          Actually, this is my overarching belief for equality/inclusion/diversity generally (plus punishment or rebuke for purposeful wrongdoing)

          There's no point in trying to force yourself to lust after something you don't. It would be denying yourself and inner satisfaction. Waste.

          I've seen articles claiming white preferences for non-blacks as "racism", but no word about black preferences for non-whites.

          Although you could argue with a selection of people on dating sites.... Perhaps they are there because they are *too* discriminating ;)
