Who is "all of us" ? Who is that instance of "us" ?
Why is it "too bad" ? Explication would be necessitated for the
purpose of any potential comprehension.

Each human being has a different standard as to beauty, and
what is attractive to that individual. Likely, despite the potential
for similarities as to that, no two individuals have exactly the
same responses as to beauty.

I have never found assholes to be attractive. Then again, there are
many, out there, and in here, who likely do find assholes attractive.
I am of course being very literal in saying that. I am not even
genderizing that comment. Simply a generic reference to assholes.
