you dont have the "traditional" appearance of beauty(think abercrombie model) but at the same time you are attractive.

Well that really depends on the person who is saying it I think. I think lots of attractive people aren't "pretty" in the normal sense. They are pretty in the normal sociotal terms, but they are still pretty. It isn't always an insult.

Aren't those multi-colored?

And baboons find them irresistable. See, it's unconventional, but baboons dig it, so it's beautiful to them.

EDIT: Just got what you were saying :eek:

To me, that means the person normally wouldn't find someone like you attractive. But, he for some reason can't take his eyes off of you. There is some attraction there that he cannot explain.

For me, a good example is Leah Remini. She is too crude, has none of the refined features I like, often looks too plump, etc. Overall, I'd normally give her a below average grade. Yet I can't seem to take my eyes off of her on that TV show. Something is attracting me, yet I can't explain it. (Sorry, I don't have a good male example to show you.)

have to second dullard's viewpoint. There's something intangible that the other person can't quite label. Take it as a compliment; if someone said that to you, it means you've caught their attention in a good way. Good way to start a relationship.

Conventionally attractive means pretty much any person you meet would agree you're at least decent looking. Unconventionally means your appearance is attractive to a niche group of people. Something about you drives that niche particularly wild though.

Or, to put it another way...(conventionally) attractive is to vanilla porn as unconventionally attractive is to foot fetish porn.

Being a gay male is very hard. You have to be great looking just to get anyone. Personality does matter, but only to a small extent.
I guess it depends on the person.
But, I have been told I look like two things in my life. Seth Green, and an Elf....lol.
I think conventional attractiveness to a gay male is 6'1", 170lbs, muscular, blue eyes and sandy blonde hair.
I am 5'7" 128lbs, short brown hair with large hazel eyes and a gap between my teeth.

Everything there but the height is very easy to change (if you want to change that is).
