I have truly never understood that. When I go shopping for clothes, sometimes a sales associate will say something like, "Everybody is buying that."

My internal thought is "Well they clearly have extremely bad taste. And why do you think I give two shits about what other people buy?"

As for who I am attracted to - that's more difficult. I actually don't know. As I have no idea who society approves and dispproves, I don't think that's a factor. And I don't play hard to get because I'm impossible to get if I'm not interested, and I'm easy to get if I am. I don't play games, and if the other person finds me less attractive because I'm easy to get, he is psychologically fucked in the head.f

That's my take.
