I don't really think your experience applies to most people. I don't know if it's your situation but perhaps you could consider reducing your pornography intake.

That's valid, although I don't believe I claimed that it applies to most people. Something can be relatively common and have a significant effect without meaning that a majority would be subject to it.

I don't appreciate your suggestion, though. Even though you i-don't-know-if-but it, what you say suggests that my viewpoint comes from a dark place of loneliness and pornography intake, which I don't think is fair unless you substantiate that somehow.

Oh, I didn't mean it that way at all, and I'm sorry I made you feel attacked --- what I mean is that I feel that pornography consumption in excess (or even in general, sometimes) can sometimes warp our sense of what is attractive or not.

No worries. Yes, it totally can twist what attractiveness means to someone.
