There's a fine distinction here I'm apparently failing to make. That frustrates me, because it is very important to me.
I'm not saying that to be my friend one has to spend their every ounce of energy resisting the urge to grab me for some hot monkey love. But if they truly find me so visually repulsive that they would nod and agree that I'm downright ugly then I can't imagine why they would want to spend any time with me at all. And if they think that there are things I shouldn't do or places I shouldn't go because of how I look, then I don't want to spend time with them.

I think I'm beginning to understand...you're talking about "downright ugly" instead of "I'm not attracted to them."
I agree with you, I don't know anyone that's "downright ugly". But that doesn't mean that I'd sleep with them, either. There are shades of gray, and the matter of personal preference. I may not find them personally attractive to me, but I can see how they are attractive to others.
That's the difference. I can accept that to me, not everyone is beautiful, but that they are beautiful to other people.
