Wow, this topic seems to

Wow, this topic seems to have stirred up some debate. :)

It's definitely not the sort of thing I'd go for, since I seem to share Calibrator's view. I was just having this conversation recently with my wife. For whatever reason, I've never been drawn to the "stereotypical beauty" that you see on so many magazine covers and movies. The main turnoff for me is the level of artificiality (fakeness, really) that goes into that--I mean, how many hours a day do they spend obsessing over their appearance? Yikes! There's something repulsive about the idea that I'm "supposed" to find them so attractive. This is really why I hate places like "Hooters" and any strip clubs, because there's that expectation that I'm "supposed" to be so turned by these women, even though they're obviously just flirting *only* to get my money. No thanks.

To be silly about it, I thought Princess Fiona (from Shrek) was more attractive as an ogre than in her human form. :P
