It's started in the mid 2010s from incel spaces but

When i was growing up every boy had a "type" basically the women he was most attracted to.

This was also in films, music, ect

Men who have no access to their true preference are willing to settle but

I doubt the majority of men have no preference and would blindly accept whatever. Surely there are types that men like that get their dick and heart racing more, whole they're more "bleh" about others

Maybe it's more true bc of social media who knows
