Welcome, ladies. While it may be considered quite noble to date people solely for their personality, the truth of the matter is that we all have personal preferences when it comes to physical attributes. There isn't anything wrong with that so long as you are not actively discriminating against or being cruel to those who do not fit your personal standard of physical attractiveness. Furthermore, you should not be ashamed of your preferences if they do not match the social ideal. In the event that you do experience shame, you should probably sort that out with a therapist instead of keeping your relationship with your non-conventionally attractive girlfriend a secret for two, whole years - as was the case in our story today!
