Some people really don't understand the difference between personal opinion and objective fact. It happens in a lot of different subjects, but definitely when it comes to physical attraction it is common (and more often by men, though women do it too). And sometimes it seems like people think that if their opinions aren't shared by everyone, then the people with different opinions are insulting them and their opinion just by thinking differently and that it is a personal attack that needs to be responded to.

You can make objective generalizations about large populations, though, even if those aren't true on the level of individual persons.

[philstar22]

Sure, sort of. I never said otherwise. You can see that on average more people tend to find certain things attractive. I wouldn't call that objective, I'd say it is a summary of the average opinions.

But you definitely can't then take those generalizations and start using them to mean that some people are objectively more attractive than others or that everyone always finds the same thing attractive. That's not how generalizations work, but too often people use them that way.

It's funny you mention "women do it too" because this one is a prime example for a lot of women doing it in this potentially obnoxious "every heterosexual woman would choose her as a lesbian exception" way.

[philstar22]

Ew. I've always hated that. It happened in the LEgend of the Seeker fandom with Kahlen too. And while I found her very hot personally, the idea that every woman would, even as a joke, just isn't funny.
