I, like most people here, do indeed value a 
person's personality over their physical features 
^^ But since this thread seemed to be what 
attracted us, in physical terms, that's what I 
blabbed about.

As I read all the threads where people said they 
loved Nuriko for his personality (which I agree 
with, though he isn't my fav FY character...I 
still get disturbed by the whole masculizing that 
goes on with him...I feel like Yu Watase's trying 
to say there's no such thing as a true transexual 
o.O), and I don't doubt you love his personality. 
BUT would you love him as much if he were butt 
ugly? I mean really seriously? Think about it for 
a second. Get the mental image in your head. It 
might make all of us re-evaluate how much we base 
people off of their looks. Nakago wouldn't seem 
half as evil if he weren't so gorgeous, 
somehow...and Tamahome wouldn't be anywhere near 
as valient. Tasuki wouldn't be rugged, Chichiri 
wouldn't seem as tragic, and 
Mitsukake...erm...Mitsukake....wouldn't be 
so...umm...Mitsukake. When you think about it, 
mor eof their personality is in their looks than 
we realize o.o

Hehe...yeah, Tara, I definitely agree that we 
feel the femmy guys are more nurturing (see my 
above posts) and better in a life-mate sense, 
whereas masculine guys are more of a "copulate 
with me and make me have strong healthy babies" 
thing. 

Of course, this is coming from the girl who 
thinks gender-bending is the sexiest thing any 
person can do ^^

OK, done now, just a little thought that popped 
into my head.

P.S. - Has anyone ever read the on-line 
comic "Lean on Me"? It's wonderful. It's about a 
MTF (male-to-female transexual) and a girl who 
fall in love...really makes ya think.
