I'm not attracted to the women in the magazines either. In fact, on an everyday basis, I notice people who don't look like "everybody else" first. I find women who aren't fashion plates more attractive than those who are; I guess it's because I think they're more creative. Being unafraid to do your own thing is a virtue.
