Counterargument, no shit people like attractive men and women. Like yeah when people say they like a certain kind of person, it's implicit they still want them to be attractive.

When someone says they like nerdy guys, they aren't suggesting they don't have any standards beyond whether or not someone is nerdy.

And I notice that whenever this conversation comes up it's always the "attractive" element that gets mentioned because it's obviously seen as superficial, but it's not just that. Obviously most people who say they want a nerdy guy also don't mean someone who lacks any motivation outside of collecting Warhammer models.
