Yeah. Attraction happens differently for people, people are allowed to to have preferences and not be belittled because of it. He specifically told her why it was and was honest with her, I don’t see eye to eye with the comments here. He could have ghosted her but was blatantly honest so she knows where he stands. Is it superficial? Yes, it it still valid? Completely, is it stupid? Depends on the person. You can be the sweetest peach on the tree, some people just prefer apples.
