Heh!  No. But thanks for the giggle!

You bugger, what about the gender non-specific?

Well, if we're going to nitpick, then I'll also mention the gender-specific-yet-undeclared, the bigendered, the aliens and also Chuck Norris out of a feeling of religious awe.

Then I shall henceforth refer to and address you using a title specific to your gender and hope that I am not missing any further nuances of social etiquette which could result in you taking offence.  Madam.

I've known some men that other women think are ugly and I don't give a sh--. If I find the guy attractive, good for me.

Aye. Ugliness can be subjective. But if you have a concept of beauty, you have a concept of ugliness as well.
For example, I find Meryl Streep to have been quite attractive in her younger days, though most of my friends would draw and quarter me for this remark.

Yes, it's subjective. And that's precisely why we will all never agree as to what is beautiful or ugly.

But I do hope we will agree that beautiful and ugly must both exist for each to be meaningful separately.
What is beautiful without the ugly beside which it could shine?
What is ugly if there is no beautiful to supplant it?
