#aesthetic preference

Bad taste

I must have bad taste Because each time, under new initials, I always manage to corner myself Digging new holes, slamming new doors

I used to ask, but eventually I realized The answer was overdetermined and I stopped being performative because I already knew That I might as well save the effort

(The only common factor was me)

I'm under no delusions, Since no one is merely unlucky That many times in a row I only judge myself

Either they were all lying to themselves, Or I'm lying to myself About what I really want, And the odds are not in my favor This whole time, I think what I really wanted Was for a new person to tell me no, A promise the whole time there was never a chance To be whole, never a chance to be known.

On the whole race thing. I personally am, on average, more attracted to white or native american guys. No idea why, just always have been. Growing up in the south i've been surrounded by pretty much every race so i've never had the idea of "oh i dont like black guys cause they're all drug dealers" cause i know some of the sweetest black guys ever. To me its more like how i like guys with dark hair over blonde but i wouldnt turn a guy down based on hair color, nor on skin color

And I wouldn't call that prejudice. To nitpick the aesthetic preference of people is to demonize the entire subjective concept of beauty.

Why is it perfectly acceptable for people to have an aesthetic preference such as blonde with green eyes, or a redhead with high cheekbones, or even just a particular height, but the fact that I'm more attracted to Asian features is attributed to a fetish?
