Re: Attraction to unattractive/strange-looking people

[personal profile] kluify 2013-04-07 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's so much a 'there is no way I can even being to comprehend you being attracted to that being', but more a social inclusion thing. Like, the face we even talk about 'unconventionally' attractive people points to the fact that there are some people who it is socially acceptable to find attractive. So people are reluctant to admit their attraction outside particular parameters because it threatens their social inclusion (for another example think of guys who are atracted to and date fat women but won't let them meet their friends and family because they are douchebags embarrassed).

On the flipside, people get riled up about other people's preferences because for some hearing that people think differently to them is threatening to their sense of self and the basis of their social inclusion on levels they probably don't even realise.

But if armchair evolutionary psychology isn't for you, I'd also say that trolling Benadryl Sillypants Butterworth Crumblycheese Bibblyboo Codswallop Benedict Cumberbatch fans is kind of hilarious.

(In answer to your original question, gods yes.)
