Do you believe people can control who they find physically attractive?

Question

In my life I have seen other people who I personally thought was pretty, handsome, average, not pretty, not handsome and unattractive.

These thoughts I had felt uncontrollable to me.
Also I there is a difference between thinking something than actually saying something

I can think another person is “attractive” or “ugly” but not say it

I would say you can to an extent as I am able to somewhat. It depends on if I know their personality though, if I know she's a nice girl then I'll find her more physically attractive but if she's a mean person i may think she looks attractive but I won't find her beautiful and it lessens her visual attraction to me. I have only really had this happen once but I went to a friend's birthday party and met a friend of hers who I didn't know, at first I said to myself "yeah she's kinda cute" but didn't really think too much about it. The weird thing is she was a very beautiful brunette with glasses and the perfect body type I love but it didn't really do anything for me at first. As I got talking to her more I just noticed that she was actually incredibly beautiful and very kind and I asked her out later that night.

To a small degree, maybe, but: there are still pedophiles out there. Now, there are reasons (I don't find them particularly compelling, but they're there and they're real) that a person would choose to be homosexual, but NOBODY would choose to be a pedophile. It's not really something you can be said to control.

As much as how subjective beauty is, I believe that our preferences and what we find ideal can be influenced by many factors like media, demographic and society. Just take a look around us. Some people tend to be rigid on what they find attractive.

I believe people can allow themselves to analyze a person's character based off their behaviors instead of just making a shallow judgment based on things they can and cannot control.
