Upset and disgust are two different things though. But I agree with the sentiment: it helps to be a bit blind and deaf in this world.

My point is if you're disgusted by a fundamental part of the female anatomy, get ready to be lonely.

You seem really perturbed that there are people out there that like/dislike different things.

Would you say the same thing to someone who said "if you don't like feet don't focus on them?" They didn't use the term disgust either, but I know plenty of people who find feet disgusting and seem to continue on with life and relationships just fine.

Yeah but if you dislike feet to the point you wouldn't date people with them you're gonna have a bad time. Cellulite has been treated as disgusting especially by the "no fat chicks" crowd.

Are you disgusted by cellulite? If so, why?

Disgust is a really hard feeling to explain. Surely you have things that disgust you. Unless you are specifically trying to eliminate feeling of disgust because it's getting in the way of healthy living, I don't think there's much utility to trying to examine or explain the feeling. For example. I'm disgusted by mucous. Its a normal thing everyone has. I'm not sure exactly why it disgusts me. I don't want to be undisgusted by it and the disgust I feel is in no way pathological.

I'm not, but if I were, as someone else said in the comments, it would definitely limit my love life. What I said still stands though.

I agree completely. But my wife hates that I just keep signing WHAT instead of getting my glasses or hearing aids

Is there a way to shout in sign language? Gosh!
