Oh I agree with not really wanting to read about ugly people having sex. I really don't have a problem with hot characters, it's just when they are all hot in exactly the same kind of way, I tend to get bored and tune out.
I dunno. It seems like there could be other more interesting ways of making a character attractive than to always resort to the standard GQ model description. I mean, what about the guy that's fairly average looking but has an incredible sense of humor, or the lanky nerd that's really brilliant and a nice guy. Physical beauty and being attractive to the opposite sex aren't necessarily the same things, and people find all kind of things attractive. I guess I'd just like to see more variety in leading men and women.
