I don't think that's part of it. I prefer and have always prefered
physical types that are at the "model" end of the spectrum. Ergo, I
find about 90% or more of humanity woefully deficient. (I'm not saying
I'm in that elite of good lookers. It's just my tastes.)
Happily, I needn't see most people AND most people where I lived are
clothed for most of the year -- even if they don't know how to dress.
Cheers!
