Until I see some non-hunk mature mesh male avatars then my attention will continue to be drawn towards the classic bodied, older and out of shape males. Men should not be perfect, that's for the girls
I find the hipster/hunk male rather unnattractive, but at the same time sympathise with male avatars for the options which they have (n't) available.
SL is such a visual platform that the visuals count for so much, at least for a first impression. This would likely be considered 'shallow' in the real world, but this isn't the real world.
