I saw a guy react to a YouTube video by a young woman who does bodybuilding. Her video was basically "hey, this is me. If you don't like my physique, that's fine, but don't @ me"
His reaction was essentially "ok, you are pretty, but not my type"
It got me thinking about this old saw that one has "types" of people to whom one is attracted - hair color, body shape, etc. etc. and how shallow and foolish that is. Like of all the things about a person, their looks are actually the LEAST significant

What I've found over nearly seven decades of living on this mudball, is that what someone looks like is far less interesting and indicative of "who they are" than their beliefs, attitudes, principles, and behavior. You can see the most gorgeous woman or man, and find out they are nasty to wait staff and underlings, and create toxic environments. They can be shorter than the norm, have scraggly hair, and have a broken voice, and be absolute darlings If I were to peg ONE attribute, it's kindness
