Yes, if you want an example, look at fetishes. Also if you look through history, you’ll find that what people considered attractive varied massively.
But also to your point, the media that we all consume says that this is the kind of person that looks attractive. And so if you ask most people what is attractive, they will tell you the standard Hollywood type.
But I think most people, if they see someone that gives them that happy brain tingle, would go for it even if who they’re looking at isn’t conventionally attractive.
Don’t get me wrong, if you’re not conventionally attractive, it does make things harder, but not impossible.
If you need a modern example, I’m a fat computer nerd, and my wife found me on the internet.

Yeah I agree. There is a lot more to a real life meeting than how people look. That’s why it’s really important to meet people in real life and not on video.
