do men have an understanding of like “aesthetics” (clean girl, granola girl, etc. for example)? and if you do, do y’all feel like your type aligns with one of those archetypes?

no because obsessing over aesthetics is some of the most vain bs of all time lol no amount of aesthetic makes up for a dull personality so I would never align with something so superficial

Yeah absolutely. Although I think a mix of aesthetics is super attractive, like someone who’s an athlete who throws sick streetwear fits. Hard to find tho unfortunately 😔

I mean having preferences isn’t rly vain. Although you’re right it doesn’t make up for personality

I think someone who has a really strong sense of self & expressed that through personal style is really cool! I like it when men care about things like personal style so I wondered if some men were the same!

But this person never said obsessing over, they were talking about preferences and you brought in obsession and vanity for no reason. You actually did make it sound like caring about it at all was obsessing
