I am curious whether your answer depends on your handedness. If there is a rationale which explains your preference, please elaborate!

I'm not saying you can't chime in on politics in due course. Still I often find people argue about politics way too quickly and heatedly without hearing the other side in proper turn. I have friends that I think don't understand a vast majority of policies when they go off on them, but I don't argue about it.

I usually ask what lead them to that choice. In part to understand it better, but also so they kinda fact check themselves in the process. I also understand that my political knowledge is not absolute. I don't or can't see all issues without some form of personal bias. Yet I still try to keep an ear open.

Another simple question. If there is a reason for your preference, please leave a comment and explain.

I posted this question

Do you have physical criteria/preferences for a dating partner and did you deliberately choose whatever your preferences are?

I used the above photo as an example of a woman who is overweight but not grossly overweight or "morbidly obese." I had one female user respond with a claim that the woman in this photo is not overweight at all but is in the normal range! I don't subscribe to the body positivity movement which requires that fat people be told that they are normal and don't need to lose weight. But maybe I'm out of touch. Maybe this woman represents the new normal.

... substitute handsome for beautiful if you must

I had a conversation with another user who said that she has no physical preferences or criteria for anyone that she would date, and I was very, very surprised. How can that possibly be?

My perception is that "virtually" everyone has preferences and criteria by which some potential dating partners would automatically be disqualified. I would be absolutely turned off by a woman whose boobs were noticeably larger than 36D or who had a masculine hairstyle. I have dated some women who were overweight, like this

but the idea of dating a woman like this

is repulsive.

I don't remembering ever pondering upon and deciding what my preferences and deal breakers should be; they just seem to be wired into me. You can tell me that this morbidly obese woman is a wonderful human being and it doesn't make a difference. I can't make myself be attracted to her.

If the answer is so obvious that the question seems to be stupid, I apologize, but I don't want to assume that I'm right. So. . . do you have preferences and criteria by which some potential dating partners would automatically be disqualified? If so, did you choose those preferences and criteria, or is that an subconscious process with you?
