        Only liking “pretty women” is dumb because it’s not a real thing. Op will be miserable until he learns to appreciate the diversity of the human body.

          I personally fall in this camp. I’m only attracted to women who I’m attracted to, and what I’m attracted to is fairly well aligned with conventional beauty standards. The thought of being intimate with someone who I’m not attracted to gives me a visceral feeling of nausea, and on the occasions I’ve done it anyway in the name of pushing my own boundaries and expanding my horizons, I’ve woken up the next morning feeling dirty and emotionally sick.

          Of course, my attraction to any given individual is not a judgement of their character or worth as a human being. I don’t dislike these people, or hold any ill will for them. My penis just doesn’t want to be inside them. Felt this way since I was about 9 years old, and the feeling has been pretty consistent since then - I suspect it is quite immutable. This, for me, is quite inconvenient since I also have a high sex drive and am highly motivated by sex. My life would be far easier if I had the capacity to enjoy sex with a greater diversity of people - but I can’t.

          I solve this problem by being attractive, so pretty women want to sleep with me. It’s a fair bit of work, but it’s worth it for the hotties. Plus the other benefits.
