Last year when I started getting out and meeting people I pretty much only wore baggy clothing because I figured no one wants to see *my* body. Even when I was young and skinny I didn't think I was attractive. Now I'm wearing tight outfits that emphasize my curves while (hopefully) de-emphasizing the portions I personally don't like so much...and who cares what other people think! *I* enjoy my body now and that's far more important to me. The fact that others might enjoy it as well is just an added bonus.
So much of attraction for me is all about the personality, though. People who fit in to our society's ideal of attraction can have horrible or wonderful personalities. No matter their appearance, though, the former becomes ugly to me.
So I'm with you! I've always wanted to storm a castle anyway...
