What's with this double standard that girls can have physical preference for who they date, but guys can't?

My taste in girls is pretty much in line with what is considered conventionally attractive. So when I pass up a woman who doesn't do anything for me, I'm called a "shallow pig" by her friends and who is "only interested in models". What's so ridiculous about this is that for them to make such comments, they are obviously very well aware of their friends physical flaws, but of course *I* am supposed to look past them

Yet when the roles are reversed and a girl is rejecting a guy for being too short or out of shape, she's just exercising her freedom choice, which she has every right to have?

What's funny is, I've also turned down some women who were quite pretty, and people assumed i'm some kind of rare guy who wants more than looks xD
