If you lived in a world where the average girl was all super model hot in quality, would you feel attracted to a less attractive girl because she is a novelty? ...
Interesting question
Short answer: no
Attractiveness is well researched ... there are some qualities we respond to stronger than others ... think sugar, fat, or some foodstuff your body is craving because it's deficient in a mineral or vitamin.
Humans respond to sexual stimuli not because they are rare but because they are evolved markers of genetic and physical fitness for reproduction and therefore mating ... the magic hip-waist-bust ratio for example, clear skin, symmetrical features, and others. All totally unconscious. One of the more intriguing ones is smell: we respond most strongly to someone who has an immune system that is complementary to our own. Here's an interesting wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bod ... _sexual_attraction.
My own experience is my taste gets calibrated to who is around me ... for example I'm much more comfortable with a flat face these days than I was before coming to HK ... and I'm now much less comfortable with a flabby waistline than ever before. That's true to the extent that I actually turn down perfectly good offers from perfectly attractive gweipos, the likes of whom I've happily done in the past. Poor dears.
So, no, I admit I walk away from fuglies.
So, if I lived in a world populated with super-model hot girls, I'd still be banging the most attractive, and still be feeling just as irritated that they're not all falling at my feet any time I get a stiffie!! It's not like chocolate, I'm happy to repeat a good sexual experience over and over, and it doesn't tire.
I will add though that I don't explicitly target the very best looking girls. As put forward by Nash (in A Beautiful Mind) I target those who are just a little bit plain ... I find a girl who has to work a little bit at her appearance works just that little bit harder in bed also
Or to put it another way, my own calculus of hotness includes personality and attitude.
But no, I'm not one to fuck a girl just because she's an outlier in some way.
