Not always true. Case in point: my neighbour across the street from my parent's house growing up was a fat girl, about 4 years younger than me. In later years, she was about 20, me about 24, at a social (large party with a cash bar and DJ) her and I had a conversation about this. I told her that in general my preferences in women run towards the slimmer, fitter girls. I told her that I am basically more attracted to good-looking girls who are in good shape.
She of course had all the usual arguments about personality, less self-involved, more caring and loving etc... and then proceeded to go from zero-to-bitch in under thirty seconds..... she got very indignant and worked up about it, calling my view shallow and ignorant.
Her and I have never spoken since, to this day.
Because I had a personal preference that she disagreed with, she basically ended our friendship. Of course in later years my preferences have changed, I have matured and evolved, and have come to enjoy the company of a wider (no pun intended) variety of women. I find attractiveness and sex appeal in certain individuals from all types of women, and am more open to having relationships with those that in my younger days I probably would not have looked twice at.
Agreed on your point about throwing insults around, it isn't acceptable at all. Those who put others down to make themselves look good are.... well, they're idiots who aren't worth getting worked up over.
