Is What I Find Attractive Weird?

Becca asks: “While we were at the mall, a girlfriend of mine asked me if I found guys with hair on their chests attractive. I said no because I grew up swimming competitively, so I’m not used to seeing guys with hair on their chests. But I love it when a guy smells like chlorine (again, the swimming thing) and said so. My friend looked at me like I was crazy so I stopped talking. Is what I find attractive really that weird?”

No Becca, that’s not weird at all. We’ve all got something unusual that we can appreciate, just like we all have something unusual to offer. For me, its men with goatees. I realize that few women appreciate a man with facial hair, but for me, goatees are one of the easiest ways to get my attention.

I wouldn’t worry too much about what your friend thinks regarding what you find attractive. She’s likely to have something in her personal list that drives her wild but makes you go ‘ick’ in response too. In the grand scheme of life, if what you find attractive doesn’t hurt you/someone else or break any laws, I see no harm in finding things out of the ordinary attractive. In fact, I think its a good thing – because if we all appreciated the same things, life would be pretty boring.

But what about you? What do you find attractive that might not be considered normal?
