In my late teens I was spending time with a cousin who's primary occupation was checking out guys, which made me wonder why I never thought about it, myself. So I started thinking about it. And found out that there are a very limited number of guys I'm attracted to.
That made me feel like a snob. But my self-esteem is too low for that to make sense. Damn chemistry is still such a mystery.What I finally figured out is that macho is a major turn-off to me. A lot of typically masculine things are. And the boys that I *am* attracted to are few and far between because they're unusual. Since people want to fit in, most boys grow up trying to conform to the image society sets for them, making slim and stylish boys a rare breed indeed. (Thus my obsession with anime - the only suitable venue I've found to consistently satisfy my quirky tastes.)
Needless to say, most boys that do catch my eye are gay. Because most of them have decided that society's status quo doesn't apply to them anyway so to hell with it. They let their hair grow past army length and wear interesting clothes and paraphernalia. They generally tend to have a much stronger sense of individuality and originality.
I also don't like the societal image that most girls conform to either. I guess what it comes down to is that I just don't like anything superficial.
thogh I'm sure you ppl would agree with her....
